Several ways of Packing Box printing

Whether the customer wants to customize the Packing Box, or the Packing Box designer does not know enough about the printing process, the effect of the product packaging will be unsatisfactory when it lands. I hope this basic knowledge of printing will be helpful to you. The following introduces several methods of Packing Box printing. It is very important to choose the most suitable printing method according to the printing medium.

1. Offset printing:

The biggest feature of lithographic printing is that the graphic part and the non-graphic part are on the same plane. Offset printing is an indirect printing method. The ink is printed on the rubber cylinder, and then printed on the packaging paper by the pressure roller. Because the printing plate does not directly contact the paper and the ink does not smudge, it is very suitable for high-quality packaging Box printing, even if the paper smoothness is not good, there is a chance to overcome it, and at the same time, the plate-making work is simple and the cost is low.

Two, gravure printing:

Gravure printing is a printing method in which ink is filled into a concave pattern. Gravure printing can present a delicate layering, bright colors, high saturation, high printing plate durability, stable print quality, and fast printing speed, which is very suitable for printing business cards. At the same time, the ink dries quickly after printing, so it is also suitable for printing a large number of color magazines and leaflets. The disadvantage is that the pre-press plate-making technology is complicated, the cycle is long, and the plate-making cost is high.

3. Screen printing: .

Screen printing is a method of hollowing out the graphics and text on the printing plate to allow the ink to transfer through the mesh. When the printing surface is a curved surface such as a bottle or can, or when there are special process requirements such as a floating effect, screen printing is mostly used.

Four, letterpress printing:

Letterpress printing is a printing method in which the raised part of the graphic is dipped in ink, and the ink on the printing plate is directly printed on the paper through pressure. Because the printing plate is in direct contact with the paper, it can leave a dent or an ink-thick edge. The lines are beautiful and not easy to fake, giving a strong and powerful impression. It is also often used in rough paper such as manga magazines. Due to its high cost of plate making and printing, it is rarely used in general packaging printing.
