About Printing Craftsmanship
What factors should I consider when choosing a printing technique?
Material: Some methods work better on specific surfaces (e.g., screen printing for fabric, offset for paper).
Budget: Offset is cost-effective for large runs, while digital printing is better for short runs.
Aesthetic & Finish: If you need metallic effects, choose hot stamping; for texture, consider embossing.
Durability: UV printing and screen printing offer long-lasting prints resistant to fading.
What are eco-friendly printing options?
Vegetable-based inks instead of petroleum-based inks.
Recycled paper or sustainably sourced materials.
Water-based coatings instead of harmful chemical coatings.
Digital printing to reduce waste and energy consumption.
How does UV printing work?
UV printing uses ultraviolet light to cure ink instantly, resulting in vibrant colors, water resistance, and high durability. It is commonly used for packaging, signage, and promotional items.
Folding Boxes
I need a folding box with a special shape, can it be customized?
Yes, folding boxes can be customized with special shapes according to product requirements. Through the die-cutting process, folding boxes of different shapes and structures can be produced.
