Printing

Going to Press

Whether it’s printing on plastic or paper, we can do it all and that means you can do it all. Nothing is out of the question. Printing begins with pre-press and here, our technologies and workflow processes add a positive impact on time to market, overall quality and project cost effectiveness.

Materials and Coatings

We always want to use materials and coatings that are the most appropriate for both the product and the package and therefore we’re material neutral. We continue to explore ways to substitute more sustainable materials and that means using inks that include soy, vegetable or other renewable content; making alcohol replacements in fountain solutions; and providing a range of recycled papers.

Our expertise in printing on many different substrates and coatings includes:

  • Plastic (APET, PVC, Polypropylene and Polyethylene)
  • All types of paperboard and fluted materials
  • UV matte and gloss finishes
  • Aqueous coatings, including FDA-approved formulations
  • High-end drum scanning
  • Custom coatings such as pearlescent, Iriodin®, metallized, soft touch, textured and interference

To increase the perceived value of your product and create a customized, unique and upscale look, consider our variety of finishes. We offer foil stamping, FlexFoil® which is an economical alternative to foil stamping, embossing, and cast and cure holographic effects.
