Four-Color Printing And Varnishing
Printing Method
Four-color printing: CMYK
Spot color printing: None
Printing Equipment: Offset printing press + UV unit
Printing Material: Plain laser silver 235g/m2
Printing and Material Characteristics
Laser cardstock is mainly composed of base paper, an aluminum layer, and a coating. The manufacturing principle involves molding laser holographic patterns or text signals onto the surface of aluminized paper.
The color of laser cardstock originates from the surface holographic technology. When white light is incident from a specific direction, different wavelengths of light diffract at different angles, resulting in a continuous rainbow effect.
Precautions
Because silver cardstock has very poor ink absorption and a very smooth surface, many problems may arise, such as ink drying, ink piling, and color changes due to ink overlapping with the silver cardstock's base color.
It is necessary to refer to actual printed samples before deciding to use this material.

Paper: 225g/m² (New High-Quality Color)
Process Characteristics: Embossed printed materials exhibit varying shades of artistic texture, creating a distinct three-dimensional relief effect, enhancing the artistic appeal and decorative effect of the printed materials, and elevating the product's quality. Embossing can be done before printing, or printing followed by embossing.
Applications: Packaging outer boxes, product advertisements, book covers, color box face paper, invitations, and embossing of special product surfaces, etc.

Q1: What is the structural difference between a Single-Layer Cardboard Color Box and a Corrugated Color Box?
A: Your choice will depend upon the weight of your product, the fragility of your product, and your method of getting your product to your customers.
Single-Layer Cardboard Color Boxes (typical paper weight 250gsm - 400gsm White Cardboard / Ivory Board / Gray Back Duplex): These are non-fluted folding box made from very smooth folding paper, ideal for high end cosmetic, pharmaceutical and lightweight retail gift packaging that will be distributed and sold and not subject to heavy distribution or transportation abuse. They are designed to protect product on store shelves.
Corrugated Color Boxes (Litho-Laminated Boxes): These are top quality corrugated boxes with Litho printed paper face, laminated to the corrugated medium (wavy structural core) be it E-flute, F-flute or even Micro-Flute, They have highest crush resistance & vertical stackability plus good cushioning, these are most widely used in industry for packaging of all sort of electronics, Heavy Counter Displays & also direct to consumer (DTC) e-commerce mailers, which are usually shipped via post. -
Q2: Which corrugated flute profile (E-flute vs. F-flute) should we select for our printed retail color boxes?
A: It’s all about finding the optimal mix between impact protection and a pure and minimal design.
E-Flute (approximately 1.5mm): Ideal for applications that require excellent top-to-bottom compression strength, and very high puncture resistance. These cartons are ideal for heavier items of consumer goods, countertops, free standing displays, and a range of subscription mailer boxes that will be regularly couriered and need to withstand the rigors of continuous handling.
F-Flute / Micro-Flute (approx. 0.8mm thickness): Very dense fluting with small and very close together waves. Creates a smooth / flat outer surface and has a minimum of “washboarding”. Ideal for applications requiring a very light and rigid structure for high definition offset printing such as boutique cosmetics, premium electronics and small gift packs/sets for the luxury market. -
Q3: How does your factory guarantee exact Pantone color replication across large-scale commercial color box runs?
A: We combat color drifting on our multi-color German Heidelberg offset press with our highly integrated Closed-Loop Spectrophotometers. The most critical color (i.e. key color) will be held to a very tight industry leading tolernce of $\Delta E \le 1.5$. For the solid background color of corporate id color, we recommend using the direct PMS Spot Inks rather than using the background color as a separate 4 color process sheet. Using the PMS Spot Inks will give you the identical visual result from the first box to the millionth box. -
Q4: Will the printed colors along the scored folding creases crack or flake when the boxes are assembled?
A: No. Instead, we present a dual-defense approach against ink splitting attacks.
Temperature-Controlled Pre-Creasing: By using computerized heated scoring matrices in our die-cutting we pre-compress and flex the dense paper fibers along the fold lines to achieve the best pre-creased results.
Tensile Film Barriers: As an added premium surface finish to every printed face sheet we supply, we use anti-scratch matte and gloss lamination films. The printed ink matrix is fully protected by this flexible film ‘skin’ allowing Zero Edge Splitting and No Color Leaking through 90 degree folds. -
Q5: Can we combine Matte and Gloss effects on the same color box design?
A: Yes, absolutely. Specialty Drip-Off / Selective Pro-Texture Finishes are our specialty. We apply a specially formulated matte varnish to the background panels of your print using our inline press. The logo, brand name, product artwork, etc. are then over-coated with a high-gloss coating. Upon UV curing, the finish provides a striking contrast between the varnish and gloss and a very rich sand-grain type texture that is very interactive for your customer. -
Q6: Do you offer structural security or anti-counterfeiting print options for high-value retail products?
A: Yes, we can integrate several security measures in your color box production for premium electronics, fine wine and cosmetics, such as Micro-Text Printing (not readable by office scanners), localized Holographic Hot Foil Stamping, variable QR codes / barcodes for real time tracking & tracing of logistics and special packaging with tamper-evident tear strips.
