The box printing process is a complex process that requires specialized machinery and specific techniques to produce high-quality boxes. Here is an overview of the box printing process:
Box design: The first step in the box printing process is the design. The customer provides the design or design details of the box they want to print. The graphic designer uses specialized software to create the design and ensure it meets the specifications of the printing machinery.
Preparation of the printing plate: The next step is to create the printing plate. The printing plate is a metal or plastic plate that is engraved with the design of the box. The plate is prepared with the help of a high-precision engraving machine that uses lasers to create the design.
Prepress: Once the printing plate has been created, it is checked to make sure there are no errors in the design. A test print is performed to ensure the quality and color are as desired.
Impression: The next step is the actual printing of the box. The printing plate is loaded into the printing machine and the printing process begins. The printing machine uses ink and printing cylinders to transfer the ink to the box substrate. This process can be carried out in one or several stages, depending on the design and complexity of the box.
Finish: Once the box has been printed, it undergoes various finishing processes such as cutting, folding and gluing. These processes are critical to ensuring that the box is ready for use.
Packaging and delivery: Once the printing and finishing process has been completed, the box is packed and delivered to the customer.
At your print shop, we make sure to follow all of these steps with attention to detail and a focus on quality to ensure that every box printed is of the highest quality.

There are several types of printing that can be done on a box, depending on the type of box, the design required and the available budget. Below are some of the most common printing types used to print boxes:
Flexographic Printing: Flexographic printing is a relief printing technique that uses a flexible printing plate made of rubber or polymer to print on the surface of the box. This technique is suitable for printing large quantities of boxes with simple designs and solid colors.
Digital printing: Digital printing uses a digital printer to print directly onto the surface of the box. This technique is suitable for printing custom boxes in smaller quantities and with more complex designs, as it does not require the use of printing plates.
Offset printing: Offset printing is a flatbed printing technique that uses metal printing plates to print on the surface of the box. This technique is suitable for printing large quantities of boxes with complex designs and multiple colors.
Serigraphy: Screen printing is a printing technique in which a mesh is used to transfer ink to the surface of the box. This technique is suitable for printing simple designs and solid colors on large quantities of boxes.
Hot Stamping: Hot stamping is a printing technique that uses a printed film and a hot die to transfer the design to the surface of the box. This technique is suitable for printing designs with shiny and metallic finishes.
In summary, the choice of the type of printing will depend on the design of the box, the number of boxes to be printed and the available budget. At our printing company we can help you choose the right printing technique for your needs.
