The Seven Printing Forms of Cake Boxes!

There are various printing forms for cake boxes, and the following are seven main printing forms:

Letterpress printing: In this printing method, the graphic and textual parts are higher than the blank part, and the ink is transferred to the surface of the printed material through pressure to form a clear graphic and textual effect.

Lithography (offset printing): The graphic and blank parts of the printing plate are on the same plane, and the principle of oil-water separation is used to make the graphic and text parts absorb ink and transfer it to the substrate, which is suitable for large-area printing.

Gravure printing: In contrast to relief printing, the graphic and textual parts are concave, while the blank parts remain flat. Ink is filled into the pits and transferred to the substrate through pressure, suitable for printing high-precision patterns.

Screen printing: Penetrating ink through fabric mesh holes to form graphics and text on a substrate, suitable for printing various shapes and materials, including curved and irregular surfaces.

Flexographic printing: Using a soft rubber plate as the printing plate, it is suitable for printing on various materials, including paper, plastic film, etc. It has the characteristics of low cost and high printing efficiency.

Laser printing (inkjet printing): a non-contact printing method that directly forms graphics and text on the surface of a substrate through a laser beam, suitable for small batch, personalized printing needs.

Special printing: including gold and silver printing, aluminum foil hot stamping, concave convex embossing and other processes, used to enhance the visual effect and texture of cake boxes, increase their high-end sense and attractiveness.

These printing forms each have their own characteristics and can be selected based on factors such as cake box design requirements, materials, and cost budget.
