By doing these three things well, the printing cost of color boxes can be significantly reduced. In today's appearance-driven society, it's increasingly rare for printing factories to see packaging box printing effects achieved solely through physical processes. Manufacturers of packaging boxes rarely use the original color of the paper. Therefore, printed colors are indeed the major trend in cardboard box production.

By doing these three points well, the cost of color box printing can be significantly reduced. In today's appearance-driven society, printing factories truly see fewer and fewer friends who only use physical processes to create packaging box printing effects. Packaging box printing manufacturers rarely see those who use the original color of paper. So, printed colors are the general trend in carton production.
First, choose the appropriate paper material. We often see packaging box manufacturers offering several dazzling types of paper grammage. Here, we'll take coated duplex paper as an example. Usually, when we see "X G coated duplex paper," it refers to the paper's grammage, which is a crucial step for packaging box printing. Very thick paper is generally not used in the custom packaging carton process, so remember to choose a medium grammage for the paper. This is because the paper's surface reacts with the ink. If the paper is too thick to dry directly, or if the ink-paper reaction is incomplete, it will lead to discoloration. Color difference is one of the serious quality problems. To avoid this, the selection of paper must be careful. According to statistics from Yingli Printing & Packaging, 90% of electronic packaging boxes choose 157G coated duplex paper.
Next is the printing method. We won't go into detail about the pros and cons of spot color printing and four-color printing here. So, what exactly does the printing method affect? Friends who've read about paper selection must be wondering if this has anything to do with printing costs. Of course it does! And it's significant. Many friends, when choosing paper, opt for some cheaper paper types from packaging box printing manufacturers, or choose paper with a lower grammage to meet a target price. Problems will naturally arise. If the chosen paper is too thin, the ink can easily penetrate and damage the inner material during printing. Minor issues include ghosting and discoloration, while more severe cases can lead to incomplete internal drying and mold, ultimately causing batches of products to be scrapped and destroyed, resulting in losses. Therefore, Yingli Printing Factory does not recommend customers use large solid color blocks for printing.
If there are no special circumstances, printing manufacturers believe the priority for cost-saving printing processes is: single spot color > four-color printing > two-spot color > multi-spot color > screen printing. In fact, when there are many spot colors, it can be more expensive than screen printing. However, screen printing is expensive because it requires manual operation and cannot be fully automated, and it targets different materials. Packaging box printing manufacturers generally choose smooth-surfaced coated duplex paper as face paper, so screen printing is not applicable here. The price of single spot color printing is actually cheaper than ordinary four-color printing. But if the number of spot colors increases to two, the price will be on par with four-color printing. So, young designers, be sure to grasp the nuances and not forget practical possibilities on your artistic journey.
