Three ways to print a box

Flexo uses rubber plates and is the cheapest way to print one or two colours on corrugated, perfect for logos and handling marks on longer runs. Digital printing needs no plates at all, so short runs, many designs and full colour graphics are affordable. Litho laminated boxes have a high quality printed sheet glued onto corrugated board, which gives the richest colour on big runs.

We quote the method that gives you the lowest total cost for your quantity, with plates and cutting dies included in the price so there are no surprises.

Colour you can count on

Your brand colours should look the same on every box, every run. We match Pantone colours on a digital proof before printing and keep the specs on file for reorders. If your colour is critical, ask for a printed sample before the full run.

Artwork help is included

We send a dieline for your box so your designer can place the artwork exactly. Then we check the files (bleed, resolution, fonts, colour) before proofing. No designer? We can recommend simple layouts that look sharp and print well.

Who orders these

Custom Printed Boxes: common questions

How much more do printed boxes cost than plain ones?

A one colour logo adds only a little per box on a decent run. Full colour costs more, but digital printing keeps it reasonable on short runs. We price plain and printed side by side so you can see the difference.

Do you charge plate fees?

Not on digital printing. Flexo and litho need plates, which pay for themselves on longer runs through a lower unit price. Plates and dies are always included in your quote.

What file format do you need for artwork?

Print ready PDF or Adobe Illustrator files with fonts outlined and images at 300 dpi are ideal. We send a dieline template first so the artwork fits.

Will I see a proof?

Always. Every printed order gets a digital proof for approval, and physical samples are available on request.
