Information about the printing methods

Digital printing

Paper/cardboard, boxes, labels
4-c designs are available at attractive prices even with small quantities. There are no register differences. The colours are always compiled from the 4-c process. Special colours in acc. with HKS, RAL or Pantone can only be approximated. Slight streaking may be visible with extensive colour designs.
Printing on shiny boxes the ink is transparent and therefore often do not achieve the desired colour tone, but can have a very elegant effect thanks to the shining through. In case of imprint with full-surface motives a slightly streaking could be visible, as well as due to edge sloping imprint an overspray of colour onto the lateral edges, plus colour-particles also on box-hinges as far as present are possible. Slight scratches and unevenness may appear due to the material.

Offset printing

Paper, cardboard
An attractive price for larger print runs. Printing of special colours in acc. with HKS and Pantone is possible.

Pad printing

Boxes, pots, glas
Register differences are possible to an extent. The double printing of individual colours may be necessary for whole-surface printing or far white as printing colour (counts as an additional print colour in each case). Slight scratches and unevenness may appear due to the material.

Laser engraving

Matt-silver boxes, wood, lacquered pots
Top-quality customising even with small quantities. Laser engraving involves the matt-silver varnish being removed, exposing the shiny surface. With whole-surface lasered motifs, the cast of the box material becomes visible. Slight scratches and unevenness may appear due to the material.

Colours

Depending on the material and product, colours may deviate. With boxes, glas etc. we work with transparent inks. Transparent inks are not opaque and therefore often do not achieve the desired colour on a non-white surface. In this case, we would recommend a white background which is charged as an additional print colour.
