Our Signature Packaging Effects
We offer a powerful suite of finishing techniques designed to enhance aesthetics, security, and accessibility.
Accessibility is a vital component of modern packaging, particularly in the pharmaceutical and food sectors.
Process:
We accurately apply raised dots using a specialised printing process, compliant with international standards (e.g. Marburg Medium).
Benefit:
Provides essential product information for visually impaired consumers, meeting crucial regulatory requirements while demonstrating commitment to inclusivity.
A UV coating offers a high-impact, reflective shine that instantly upgrades the perceived value of your product.
Process:
A liquid coating is applied over the printed surface and instantly cured (dried) using ultraviolet (UV) light.
Finish Options:
Available as a full overall coating for a mirror-like shine, or as spot UV, where the coating is applied only to specific areas (like a logo or key text) to create a stunning contrast against a matte or satin background.
Benefit:
Enhances colour depth, provides a durable scratch-resistant layer, and creates a highly appealing visual texture.
Protecting your brand and consumers from counterfeiting is paramount. We incorporate subtle, effective security features directly into the packaging design.
Process:
Includes micro-text, unique security inks, or specific marks that are difficult for counterfeiters to replicate but easily verifiable.
Benefit:
Deters imitation and provides a reliable way for retailers and consumers to confirm product authenticity. Essential for high-value goods, healthcare, and sensitive products.
Beyond standard box shapes, custom die-cutting allows for precise, unique shapes, features, and functionality.
Process:
Using a bespoke cutting tool (die), the carton board is cut into any required shape, allowing for windows, unique tabs, curved edges, or complex fitments.
Benefit:
Enables bespoke structural designs, creating windows to showcase the product, or incorporating complex internal fitments to hold items securely.
To achieve maximum visual presence, we offer a variety of surface treatments and printing techniques.
Finishes:
Options include soft-touch lamination (for a velvety, tactile feel) and metallic inks or foil (to add shimmering gold, silver, or coloured accents).
Benefit:
Lamination adds durability and changes the overall feel, while metallic effects create a premium, eye-catching focal point.
