1. The root of low cost: the simple beauty of equipment and plate making
1. The people-friendly nature of equipment cost
The structure of Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes equipment is relatively simple, and its core components include screen plates, scrapers, and ink containers. Compared with some complex modern printing equipment, Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes equipment is small in size and occupies a small area, which is undoubtedly a great advantage for small printing companies with limited space. Whether in the purchase, installation or daily maintenance of equipment, there is no need to invest a lot of money and resources. Taking the common manual Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes machine as an example, its price is relatively low, usually ranging from thousands to tens of thousands of yuan. Compared with the offset printing equipment that costs hundreds of thousands or even millions of yuan, the cost gap is obvious. Moreover, the manual Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes machine is easy to operate and does not require professional technicians to conduct complex operation training. Ordinary workers can get started after simple guidance. Even for some semi-automatic or fully automatic Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes equipment, although its price is higher than that of manual equipment, it is still in a lower price range compared with other high-end printing equipment, and its maintenance cost is relatively low, and there is no need to frequently replace expensive parts, which enables enterprises to effectively control costs during the life cycle of the equipment.
2. Economic and efficient plate making process
The production process of the screen plate is relatively simple, which is another key factor in the low cost of Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes. The main materials for making screen plates are screens and screen frames. Screens are usually made of materials such as nylon, polyester or stainless steel, and the price is relatively affordable. The screen frame can be made of wood or metal and customized according to actual needs. In the plate making process, it mainly includes the steps of stretching the screen, applying photosensitive glue, and drying the plate. The screen stretching process uses professional screen stretching equipment to evenly stretch the screen on the screen frame to ensure uniform tension of the screen, laying the foundation for subsequent printing effects. Applying photosensitive glue is to evenly apply a layer of photosensitive glue on the surface of the screen. The price of photosensitive glue is relatively low and the amount used is small. The exposure process is to expose the designed pattern through the negative film and the screen coated with photosensitive glue, so that the photosensitive glue undergoes a photochemical reaction, thereby forming a screen with a pattern. The equipment and material costs required for the entire plate-making process are low, and the plate-making cycle is short. For some time-sensitive orders, it can respond quickly to meet customer needs.
Compared with other printing processes such as offset printing, the production of offset plates requires professional plate-making equipment and technicians, and the plate-making process is complicated and costly. The simplicity of Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes plate-making enables companies to significantly reduce the cost of plate-making while ensuring the quality of plate-making. Especially for the production of screen plates with some simple patterns, the cost advantage is more prominent, which is very attractive to customers with limited budgets.
2. Featured effect display: the unique charm of color and texture
1. The visual impact of rich colors and thick ink layers
In terms of printing effects, Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes performs particularly well in large-area color block printing. Due to its unique printing principle, the ink is transferred to the surface of the substrate through the mesh with greater pressure through the scraper, forming a thick ink layer. This thick ink layer can carry more ink, making the printed colors richer, brighter, and more visually impactful. When used for custom printing of recyclable cardboard packaging boxes, this rich color effect can make the product stand out on the shelf. For example, on some food packaging boxes, Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes is used to print large areas of bright colors, such as red strawberries, yellow lemons and other fruit patterns, which can vividly show the freshness and deliciousness of the product and attract consumers' attention. Compared with other printing processes, such as digital printing, which may lack color saturation when printing large areas of solid, Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes can easily achieve high saturation color effects, adding unique charm to product packaging.
2. Three-dimensional patterns create unique texture
In addition to rich colors, another notable feature of Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes is that it can give the printed pattern a distinct three-dimensional sense. Due to the thick ink layer, the printed pattern shows a certain concave and convex feeling on the surface of the substrate. This three-dimensional sense has a unique charm in some packaging box designs that pursue unique texture.
In retro-style product packaging, Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes can create a texture of years through three-dimensional patterns. For example, printing some patterns with retro textures, such as ancient wood grain and stone grain, through the three-dimensional effect of Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes, these textures seem to be truly presented on the surface of the packaging box, allowing consumers to feel a strong retro atmosphere. In product packaging with a strong artistic atmosphere, three-dimensional printed patterns can enhance the expressiveness of artworks and make products more artistic. For example, the packaging boxes of some handmade artworks can better display the uniqueness and artistry of the products through Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes of three-dimensional artistic patterns, which complements the positioning of the products.
3. Applicable scenarios fit: accurately meet specific needs
1. Ideal choice for packaging of local specialty agricultural products
For the packaging box design of some local specialty agricultural products, Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes has unique advantages. The target audience of these agricultural products often pays more attention to the regional characteristics and simplicity of the products, and has relatively low requirements for the fineness of the printed patterns. Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes can just meet this demand, and through its unique printing effect, it creates a strong regional atmosphere for agricultural product packaging boxes. On the packaging boxes of local specialties in some mountainous areas, Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes is used to print landscape patterns and folk symbols with local characteristics, which can highlight the regional characteristics of the products and allow consumers to associate the origin and unique quality of the products when they see the packaging boxes. At the same time, the low-cost characteristics of Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes also meet the cost control requirements of agricultural product packaging. The profit margin of agricultural products is relatively thin, and excessive packaging costs will compress profits. Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes can effectively control costs and improve the market competitiveness of products while ensuring the packaging style.
2. A wise choice for packaging for short-term promotional activities
In short-term promotional activities, product packaging needs to respond quickly to market demand and is more sensitive to costs. The flexibility and low cost of Custom Printed Recyclable Cardboard Packaging Boxes make it a wise choice for product packaging for short-term promotional activities. When companies launch short-term promotional activities, they often need to customize a large number of packaging boxes with promotional information in a short period of time.
