Once you have picked a Packaging Style, the composition of the material to use and the most appropriate closure for your packaging, now and most importantly, we need to get it noticed on the shelf.

Utilising our Digital Printing Press, we are able to provide you with the highest quality printing using CM Y K W colour mixesto ensure you get the detail, colour and clarity on your most intricate designs. No job is to small, Digital Printing allows you to be flexible with your designs, so perfect for short runs and new products to market!
Flexo or Flexography its official name, is a type of printing process that uses a flexible relief plate. Perfect for printing on all types of flexible packaging materials, the plates can be used and re used over and over again!
The plates are designed so the print surface is raised where the image has been exposed.
The plate surface is the only area that comes into contact with the substrate after the ink is applied to the plate. The etched or relieved areas do not contact the ink. The plates are flexible enough to be wrapped around cylindrical print/plate rollers.
Gravure printing is a long-run, high-speed, high-quality printing method that delivers a very detailed image. Your image will be acid-etched on the surface of a metal cylinder. One cylinder is used for each colour in a pattern of cells that are recessed into the cylinder. The dimension of the cells determines the colour intensity.
The packaging material is pressed against the inked cylinder on a rotary press, and the image is transferred directly to the material.
