An outstanding package not only requires a unique design to catch the eye but also needs exquisite craftsmanship to endow it value. Next, TianLi Packaging will provide you with a detailed interpretation of several packaging production techniques, exploring together how these techniques significantly enhance the overall value of the packaging.
Four-color Printing
Ever wondered how those stunning, lifelike images in boxes are created? The answer lies in the world of four-color process printing. Four color printing, also known as CMYK printing. This widely used printing process is essential for achieving vibrant and realistic color reproduction. By utilizing a color model that combines four ink colors – cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK) – this technique enables precise color mixing for accurate results.
Four-color process printing, also known as CMYK printing, plays a crucial role in the creation of high-quality images with exceptional clarity. It involves a series of steps, including color correction, proofing, and using specialized software for color separation. With the help of advanced printing presses and careful attention to image resolution and color space, this method ensures that every detail is captured flawlessly. CMYK inks are used to produce the printed output, which allows for accurate reproduction of spot colors and a wide range of CMYK colors.
Spot Printing
Spot printing is a unique printing technology that uses specially mixed inks to accurately reproduce a particular color, ensuring the presentation is both vibrant and full. Compared to the mixing method of four-color printing, spot printing can capture subtle color differences more accurately, achieving a more precise color expression.
In spot printing, Tianli Packaging commonly uses inks such as special gold and special silver, which give the packaging a unique texture and luster. When the packaging design has high requirements for color accuracy and brightness, designers often choose spot printing to realize their creativity.
To ensure color accuracy and consistency, designers usually refer to the internationally recognized Pantone color card when choosing spot colors. However, it is worth noting that spot printing cannot directly achieve gradient effects. If the packaging design requires a gradient effect, designers need to combine four-color printing technology, simulating the gradient effect through the layering of colors, to perfectly present the original design intention.
UV Printing
UV printing technology is an efficient printing process, especially suitable for local gloss enhancement of key parts of printed matter. Through the irradiation of ultraviolet light, UV ink can dry and cure quickly, which not only speeds up the production but also significantly enhances the three-dimensional sense and layering of local patterns. Transparent UV and matte UV are two popular treatments in Tianli Packaging UV printing, which can show different visual effects according to design needs. Transparent UV gives the packaging a bright luster, while matte UV brings a soft and unique texture, making the packaging more exquisite, meeting consumers' high-quality pursuit of product appearance
Hot Stamping
Hot stamping technology relies on its unique principle of thermal pressure transfer, skillfully transferring the aluminum layer from the electro-aluminum to the surface of the substrate, thereby giving the packaging a unique metallic luster effect. This printing process is not only flexible and changeable, using electro-aluminum of various colors such as gold, silver, red, green, and blue as raw materials, but also can create dazzling metallic textures on the packaging surface according to design needs. Through the application of Tianli Packaging hot stamping technology, the overall grade and value of the packaging have been significantly improved, making it stand out among many products.
Embossing/Debossing
This process uses a set of concave and convex templates with corresponding positive and negative patterns, placing the substrate between them, and then applying greater pressure to form a relief-like pattern part, thereby enhancing the layering and three-dimensional sense of the packaging. Tianli Packaging believes that this process can make the packaging more exquisite and high-end, increasing the added value of the product.
Screen Printing
Screen printing is a unique printing process that transfers ink through the precise squeezing of a squeegee, through the mesh of a specially made screen with graphic mesh holes, to the surface of the substrate. This printing method can show a variety of colors, and designers can choose the most suitable color according to the international standard Pantone color card. Although screen printing cannot directly achieve gradient printing effects, its unique printing method can ensure high color saturation and strong color layering. Therefore, in packaging design, screen printing can present bright and full color effects, greatly enhancing the visual attractiveness of Tianli Packaging packaging, making the product stand out on the shelf.
