Cardstock is thicker and more durable than writing or printing paper. Cardstock material is suitable for small and lightweight items such as dry food, cosmetics, jewelry, and medicinal oils.
Kraft paper is unbleached pulp, giving it a beautiful, natural brown color. Its wood-like and earthy texture exudes a certain appeal, especially for the environmentally conscious. This material can take on various printing techniques and finishes.
A corrugated board is made up of a fluted sheet that’s sandwiched by two flat linerboards. The middle layer provides the needed cushioning and support for heavier contents. Corrugated board is popular for shipping supplies and material for food products, office supplies, electronics, healthcare items, and automotive parts.
Bux board boxes are made of corrugated paper stock in single, double, or triple layers. This makes this custom packaging burst- and tear-free, an ideal feature for housing breakable goods.
Also called lithography or litho-offset, it involves the transfer of the design and text from a cylindrical metal plate to a rubber sheet and onto paper, creating a clear, high-quality image. This is great when you have a large project and need exact color representation from your packaging solutions.
For this type of printing, ink is applied to recessed printing plates, whose surfaces are engraved with the image and text. The inked plates are then rolled onto the printing surface.
In this process, heat from a laser beam causes part of the material’s surface to vaporize, engraving a logo, text, or any other symbols on it. No ink or tools come in contact with the material. The visible and deep markings are permanent and abrasion-proof.
Box covers or lids can feature a round, rectangular, or square die-cut window with a thin plastic patch. Also referred to as window patching, this feature is helpful for food and luxury products.
