Packaging box printing refers to the process of imprinting decorative patterns, designs, or text on packaging to enhance the attractiveness of the product. The printing process for packaging boxes is highly rigorous, and one can refer to the following for more information.
1. Paper selection: Generally, gift box wrapping paper is made of double copper and matte copper paper, with a grammage of 128g, 105g, or 157g. Rarely do gift boxes use wrapping paper with a grammage of 200g or above, as the wrapping paper is too thick, which can cause the mounted gift box to blister, and the appearance also looks dull. Paper mounting involves selecting the appropriate double gray paper according to customer needs, commonly known as gray board paper or gray cardboard.
2. Presently, when it comes to making gift boxes, the emphasis is on beautiful and attractive appearance. Therefore, the colors used in the design are diverse. Usually, a single style of gift box not only has four basic colors but also several spot colors, such as gold and silver, which are all spot colors.
3. Surface treatment: The wrapping paper for gift boxes usually requires surface treatment, commonly including glossy lamination, matte lamination, UV coating, glossy varnish, and matte varnish.
4. For gift boxes, only the printed wrapping paper is used for mounting, and no printing is done on the paper itself. Usually, it is only dyed. As gift boxes are outer packaging boxes, the printing requirements are very high, and defects that affect aesthetics, such as color differences, ink spots, and poor printing quality, are particularly avoided.
5. Die-cutting is a crucial step in the printing process. To achieve accurate die-cutting, the cutting die must be precise. If the die-cutting is inaccurate, off-center, or inconsistent, it will affect subsequent processing.
6. Generally, printed materials are mounted before being cut, but gift boxes are cut before being mounted. This is because they are afraid of damaging the wrapping paper, and also because gift boxes emphasize overall aesthetics. The mounting of gift boxes must be done manually to achieve a certain level of beauty. More information about advertising production prices can be found on the official website of Mingmei Printing.
7. Drill holes and wipe off glue. Drill holes where necessary, and wipe off the glue on the surface where no holes are needed. Then, the products can be packaged and delivered.
