In the process of printing paper box packaging, printing technology is particularly important. Different printing processes produce different printed products. How many printing processes are there for paper box packaging printing?
1. Gravure printing: Compared to other printing methods, gravure printing products have a fuller three-dimensional effect with rich layers and clear lines. This printing process is suitable for printing large quantities of color box packaging products and can be used for printing stamps, plastic products, tobacco and alcohol labels, and other products. However, due to a series of factors such as complex plate making technology, long cycles, high plate making costs, and unfavorable environmental protection, the use of gravure printing is relatively rare;
2. Offset printing: Offset printing is a type of flatbed printing that allows for flexible changes in printing format. Not only used for printing color box packaging products, but also for printing paper products such as newspapers, posters, magazines, etc;
3. Screen printing: Screen printing is a commonly used printing technique in the packaging of color box products around us. For example, the screen printing technology used for partial UV can form ink accumulation by adjusting the thickness of the screen, which has a good three-dimensional effect. In addition, screen printing can also be used for printing adhesive labels.
4. Flexographic printing: The most common form of flexographic printing packaging in our daily lives is a cardboard box made of corrugated cardboard. Because it uses an elastic raised image printing plate, it is called flexographic printing. Flexographic printing has the characteristics of large format, low price, the ability to achieve linked production, and the ability to reduce the loss of cardboard box strength during the manufacturing process. However, its accuracy is not high, and it cannot print color box packaging printing that requires high precision.
The above are several printing techniques used in color box packaging printing. Each printing method presents a different finished product with its own advantages.
