Printing onto folding cardboard boxes
Printing according to standard offset process ISO 12647-2
Our folding cardboard boxes can be printed with logos, graphics, photos, text and a variety of other elements.
In the majority of cases we recommend four-color printing according to the European CMYK scale (cyan, magenta, yellow and black). The dithering and layering of these colors offers a palette comprising millions of shades, which in turn facilitates the printing of color photos, color transitions and many other visual features.
Colors outside of the European scale are designated as special colors and generate increased printing costs. They are worthwhile if customer color requirements include a metallic gleam or a particularly vivid orange or green not included in the European scale. Special colors are to be communicated to us as Pantone or HKS shades.
