Finishes for printed folding boxes and promotional products

We have the printing and production techniques for experiences that make a long-lasting impression. For folding boxes, product packaging or promotional products. Choose from varnishes, various types of embossing, sophisticated punching techniques, lamination or applications.

 

An experience to see and feel: With blind embossing, logos and lettering can be pressed into the material without the use of films or inks.

Relief embossing enables lines, lettering and ornaments to be depicted in three dimensions. Can be implemented as blind or hot foil embossing.

Stunning effects

Here, a foil is laminated onto a carrier material. The wide range of foils means that the end results can be varied and unique:
Gloss film, matt film, holographic film and so much more.

Make eyes light up

The high-quality coating with gloss films, e.g. in metallic colours, gives (gift) packaging a special shine, represents quality and attracts extra attention.

Simply beautiful, always fine

Product packaging does not always need to shine to draw everyone’s attention. Matt effects make for a sophisticated understatement. Our varnishes can do both. The choice is yours!

Matt/gloss effects

Intensive product experience

3D varnishes for a surprising feel. The varnishes are similar to relief embossing. Any structure can be used in principle, even microstructures and matt/gloss effects. In combination with a soft-touch varnish, the result is a particularly exclusive look.

A staggering effect

Packaging turns into a visual adventure.  Magical effects surprise, confuse, impress and are sure to draw extra attention and make for an unforgettable presentation.

Seductively sensuous

With scented varnish, defined scents are worked into the printed material. The scents are released when the material is rubbed, creating a direct sensual experience. All kinds of scents are available.

Details that tantalise

With the use of laser punching, very delicate patterns can be worked into cardboard. Subtle glimpses of the inside of the folding box spark interest, increasing anticipation and creating an unforgettable allure.

Brightening up the POS

The innovative technology makes it possible to integrate light into cardboard products in an aesthetic and functional way. Displays, folding boxes, promotional products are transformed into unique eye-catchers with an actively illuminated surface. A great spectacle for great products.

One look and you’re captivated

Offset printing is the first choice for razor-sharp and extraordinarily clean prints.
Whether it’s logos or image designs – the state-of-the-art flat printing shines on all packaging types, on folding boxes and on special shapes.

Of interest for promotional product

Line screen printing can be used to realise designs with distinct areas of colour with particular precision; grid screen printing achieves a fine printed image even for challenging designs. In screen printing, the cut edges are printed.
