We are offering custom printing online services with avant-garde manufacturing facilities. You can get a huge variety of printing options, which will make it easy for the customers to choose the most suitable option as per your design and the selected material. The different materials for which our services are available are as follows:
Printing On Cardboard
Cardboard is a lightweight material and is commonly used in the manufacturing of retail packaging boxes. Offset and digital are the two common methods used in cardboard box printing as both give high-quality graphics in a short duration. Cardboard is a useful material for getting custom boxes because:
- It has a smooth surface
- This material is affordable
- Easy to customize
Types Of Cardboard Used In Custom Printing

- Coated cardboard helps enhance the color vibrancy of the printed artwork by preventing the inks from soaking into the material
- Recycled cardboard is made from repurposed material and provides sustainable and affordable custom printing solutions
Why We Use Digital And Offset Printing For Cardboard
As a custom printing wholesale provider, we select only the best and the most compatible options for printing. For the printing of cardboard material, we choose digital and offset printing and not flexography because of the following reasons:
Why Digital Printing Is Good For Cardboard
Digital printing packaging on cardboard material is done because it gives sharp and detailed images in intricate patterns. This is perfect for short runs as no set-up cost is required. As this is a fast process is in case a customer needs last-minute changes then digital printing is the savior. Digital printing is a versatile option that allows the use of a variety of inks such as UV and water-based inks. Not only this, but the compatibility of digital ink is good with both coated and uncoated cardboard.
Why Offset Printing Is Good For Cardboard
Offset printing is preferred for cardboard material because this printing method gives crisp images with vibrant colors and consistent results. So companies looking for intricate patterns and specific colors can benefit from this method. Though the initial set-up cost of the packaging is high it becomes economical for high volumes as the cost-per-area starts decreasing with an increase in the number of boxes. Offset printing allows precise color reproduction using CMYK and PMS printing and ensures consistency across large batches. Unline digital printing, is not suitable for uncoated cardboard and can be used only for coated cardboard boxes.
Why Flexo Printing Is Not Good For Cardboard
Flexography is less precise and lacks the fine details required for high-end packaging. This method struggles with color consistency which is crucial for branding packaging boxes. Flexo is suitable for more absorbent surfaces and cardboard is relatively smooth.
Custom Printing On Corrugated Boxes
The durability and sturdiness of the corrugated material have made it one of the most common materials for the manufacturing of shipping and food boxes. The inner fluted layers of this material are lined with liner boards that can be printed smoothly. For corrugated box printing flexography and digital are the two common options. Corrugated printing is useful because of:
- Cost-effectiveness
- Easy to print
- Sustainable material
Types of Corrugated Boxes For Printing
- For shipment packaging, we give single-wall corrugated material for printing
- If you have to sell heavier products then you can opt for double-walled corrugated material
- A triple-walled corrugated material offers maximum protection and is printed for industrial purposes
Flexo And Digital Printing For Corrugated Materials
Corrugated material is absorbent and commonly used for shipping or display boxes when a large amount of product is required to be displayed. For box printing services of corrugated boxes, we use printing methods that can easily accommodate rough and uneven surfaces.
Why Flexo Printing Is Good For Corrugated Materials
Flexography is a cost-effective option and is usually preferred when large runs of printing are required. This method requires set-up therefore we prefer it only when you need to order in bulk amounts. Flexo is a high-speed printing process and uses flexible rubber plates that adapt to rough surfaces like corrugated material. On rough surfaces, it gives smudge-proof and durable prints. It can also use water-based inks for custom box printing which is why it is an ideal option for sustainable packaging boxes.
Why Digital Printing Is Good for Corrugated Materials
Digital printing is one of the most versatile printing processes that allows brands to get cost-effective limited-edition packaging boxes. It enables easy customization such as the addition of QR codes or personalized messages.
Why Offset Printing Is Not Good For Corrugated Materials
As we know offset printing requires a smooth surface area that corrugated material lacks. When it comes to printing on corrugated material via offset, then an additional process of litho lamination is required. For product box printing on corrugated material, you have to encounter cost and complexity.
Custom Printing On Rigid Material
For premium custom box printing, rigid material is used. This is a high-end packaging that is used for luxury products. For the printing of rigid material, we use offset and screen printing. The common benefits of using rigid material for printed boxes are as follows:
- Luxury option
- Durable
- Superb printing quality
- Structural integrity
Offset And Screen Printing For Rigid Materials
High-density materials come under the category of rigid materials. Brands use printed rigid boxes to promote themselves by using them in the form of display or influencer packaging. The luxury and promotional usage of this material demands the use of high-end prints that are durable as well as attractive.
Why Offset Printing Is Good For Rigid Materials
Offset printing has excellent compatibility with smooth surface areas where it can ensure even distribution of ink. So when the question of high-end and sharp images arises, offset printing is considered the most preferred option. Apart from this, offset printing supports a wide range of finishes such as embossing, debossing, foil stamping, and UV coatings.
Why Screen Printing Is Good For Rigid Materials
Screen printing deposits a thick layer of ink on the material and is more durable and water resistant. It works well for non-porous surfaces gives unique textures and allows speciality coatings for a more premium look.
Why Flexo Printing Is Not Good For Rigid Materials
Flexography is not an ideal option when it comes to printing on smooth surfaces. It also lacks the accuracy and perfection that is required for high-end packaging. Unlike offset and screen printing, flexo is not compatible with complex finishes like embossing and debossing.
Custom Printing On Kraft Material
You can get online custom printing services for kraft material that is a sustainable option and is famous for its rustic look. Flexography and digital printing are the two common printing methods that we use for this material. The benefits of using kraft are as follows:
- Biodegradable
- Strong
- Aesthetics and vintage look
Types of Kraft Paper Used In Printing
- Natural brown kraft material with an earthly look
- Bleached kraft for smooth surface areas
- Black kraft material for luxury packaging
Flexo And Digital Printing For Kraft Material
For commercial printing services on kraft material, we use digital and flexography. As kraft has a highly absorptive surface, the selection of printing methods is done to ensure quality and durability.
Why Flexo Printing Is Good For Kraft Material
In flexography, we use water-based and soy-based ink that works well with the absorbent surface of kraft and prevents smudging. It is also a budget-friendly option for large-scale production and due to the use of sustainable inks, this printing is compatible when our customers are looking for completely sustainable kraft boxes.
In some cases, flexo is not compatible with kraft boxes. This is because kraft material absorbs too much ink making the design duller as compared to other printing methods. It also lacks the fine details that are provided by digital printing on kraft.
Why Digital Printing Is Good For Kraft Material
Digital printing is compatible with both smooth and rough surfaces and gives high-resolution designs for small batches. As we do not need to invest in the set-up for digital printing it is cost-effective too.
Pre-Printing Coatings
For commercial printing services, a flawless look of the packaging surface is required. For this, we have to apply pre-printing coatings on the material. These coatings reduce the absorptive potential of the material and give a smooth surface that allows color enhancement and ink adhesion. These include the two options:
Primers
In our box printing services, primers are applied on the surface to create an even surface. They enhance ink adhesion and prevent it from smudging. Apart from this, primers also enhance the durability of the printed artwork. Some of the examples of primers include the following:
- Acrylic
- Solvent-based
- UV primers
Surface Smoothing Coatings
Surface coatings are applied to make the material water-resistant and smooth. This not only helps in easy printing but also enhances the durability of the material. Clay coating is a common example of surface smoothing coatings that give the material a glossy or matte surface.
Post-Printing Coatings
After the printing process is done, the next step is the application of post-printing coatings. These coatings make the material more resistant to moisture and enhance the attractiveness of the packaging boxes. After custom printing products packaging, the application of post-printing coatings enhances the resistance of the material and the printed artwork from external factors. Some of the options that we use on custom printed boxes are as follows:
- Gloss finishes enhance the vibrancy and shine of the material
- Matte coatings provide a soft and elegant look
- We have PE lamination in gloss and matte options that add a soft and glossy touch to the packaging along with scratch-resistance
- Our UV coatings are applied in liquid condition to the box material and are highly resistant to smudging
- Aqueous coatings are water-based and sustainable options and are used on food-safe packaging
