Finishing techniques

Finishing processes

Print finishing is a vital stage in the production process, especially for folding cartons. After printing, specialized finishing techniques are applied to transform printed materials into functional, visually appealing finished products. Finishing steps, such as die-cutting and folding-gluing, ensure the precision and quality of each packaging, meeting both industry standards and market expectations. In this way, finishing plays a crucial role in creating durable, attractive packaging to satisfy the demands of customers and various markets.

Die-cutting

Produlith’s die-cutting department is essential in transforming packaging after printing. Leveraging advanced technology, we die-cut each project with exceptional precision using customized dies. This process ensures packaging that is both visually appealing and functional, designed to meet the diverse needs of various industries. Additionally, we specialize in finishing techniques that enhance both the appearance and practicality of our packaging, elevating its functionality and quality.

Folding and gluing

Folding and gluing is a crucial stage in packaging manufacturing, where die-cut materials are transformed into finished products. Produlith’s experts assemble each packaging component with unmatched precision, ensuring durable and well-structured results. To maintain the highest quality, we’ve integrated an in-line ejection system to eliminate any risk of product mix-ups. With three dedicated fold-glue production lines, we achieve both efficiency and productivity, delivering high-quality packaging solutions that meet market demands with speed and reliability.

Embellishments for folding cartons

We offer a wide range of carefully selected finishing options and embellishments to enhance the aesthetics of your folding cartons during the die-cutting process.

FAQ

At Produlith, we ensure that the Braille finish on our packaging meets regulatory accessibility standards. Our custom-designed Braille cutting dies provide optimal legibility, with carefully calibrated height and width of relief, allowing visually impaired individuals to read information accurately. By adhering to these standards, we create packaging that is both functional and inclusive.

The cutting pressure is carefully calibrated to optimize the tactile visibility of Braille dies, adapted to each surface based on the board’s thickness. The dimensions and depth of the relief are precisely adjusted to ensure a uniform tactile experience that complies with regulatory standards.

At Produlith, combining multiple finishing and embellishment techniques on a single project is entirely possible. For instance, we can integrate hot stamping, embossing, and Braille into one package to create a solution that is both aesthetically appealing, functional, and accessible.

Die-cutting matrices or dies are designed for durability and reusability, provided the visual and packaging specifications remain consistent. For long-term or recurring production, these dies can be used across multiple print runs, delivering excellent value for money while ensuring consistent precision with every use.
