Learn More About Printing

Printing encompasses several techniques, the most common being flexographic, digital, and lithographic. Flexographic printing is quite a cost-efficient technique and is used for large-scale orders. Digital printing is capable of extensive customisation and is preferred for smaller orders and intricate designs. Lithographic printing, also known as offset printing, provides exceptional image quality and is the top choice where high-definition visuals and images are required. Choosing the type of printing technique depends on the requirement, the order size, complexity of the design, and desired outcome.

Choosing the right materials for printing is as important as the printing itself. Common materials used are corrugated cardboard sheets and Kraft paper. When it comes to corrugated cardboard, all types can be used, from single-walled to double- and triple-walled sheets. Corrugated cardboards are strong and durable, which not only hold their structure well but also hold the designs printed on them. Kraft paper is also widely preferred, thanks to its high resistance to wear and tear. The inks used in printing also come in different types, namely water-based inks and UV inks. While the water-based inks are environmentally friendly, the UV inks possess fast-drying and smudge-free properties.

Printing on a plain sheet of cardboard is vastly capable of incorporations and customisations. Several unique features can be added to enhance its appeal and improve its functionality. Customised designs allow businesses to improve brand visibility, while protective coatings and desired finishes help enhance the visual appeal in addition to offering protection against moisture or handling damage. Some advanced printing techniques allow for embossing or debossing, and on the other hand, a combination of vivid colours, sharp images, and customised textures provides an engaging unboxing experience for customers, thereby elevating brand loyalty.

Printing on cardboard boxes is vastly beneficial. From e-commerce and retail packaging to shipping and logistics, printed boxes stand a class apart. When the boxes are custom printed, they serve efficiently as a marketing tool besides being the robust protective container of your goods. Printed cardboard boxes are a cost-effective way for businesses to advertise and create a professional image. Likewise, printed boxes provide essential product information, handling instructions, and a better overall shopping experience for consumers.
