Printing Technical Specifications

  • Registration Accuracy: ≤ 0.15 mm, ensuring no misalignment in multi‑colour overlays

  • Minimum Line Width: Clearly prints fine lines down to 0.1 mm

  • Dot Reproduction Range: 2% – 98% dot gradation with smooth transitions, no abrupt breaks

  • Colour Capacity: Supports 8–10 colour gravure printing (including spot colours); Pantone colours can be custom‑matched

  • Batch Colour Difference: ΔE < 1.5 (between target and finished colour), well above industry standards

Special Printing Effects (Enhanced Texture)

  • Tactile Matte Finish + Spot Gloss: Creates a three‑dimensional tactile effect on brand graphics via spot varnishing

  • Reverse UV: Produces contrasting gloss/matte effects on the same flat surface, adding depth

  • Cold / Hot Foil Stamping: Metallic shine, ideal for logos and key graphics

  • Pearlescent & Holographic Effects: Adds iridescent or pearl‑like sheen to attract attention

  • Anti‑Counterfeiting Microtext: Embedding invisible micro‑sized text within patterns for brand protection

Design Support & Artwork Optimisation

  • Free artwork inspection: correcting bleed, resolution, font outlining, overprint, and other pre‑press issues

  • Colour deviation pre‑assessment report provided to help adjust artwork colours for print compatibility

  • Basic layout and artwork completion services available for clients without in‑house design (small fee applies)

  • Multiple products can share the same printing plate, with only the text/label area changed—significantly reducing plate costs

Plate‑Making Options (Customisable)

  • Electromechanically Engraved Gravure Plates: High durability, suitable for large‑volume long‑run production

  • Laser‑Engraved Plates: Superior precision, excellent for highlight gradations and fine details

  • Plate‑less Digital Printing: No plate‑making required, suitable for sampling or very small orders (MOQ as low as 200 pieces)

Substrate Compatibility (Wide Print Coverage)

  • Printable substrates: PET, BOPP, NY, aluminium foil, metallised film, kraft paper, PLA biodegradable film, etc.

  • All substrates are corona‑treated prior to printing; ink adhesion reaches 5B rating (cross‑hatch test)

  • Compatible with various lamination films (e.g., PE, CPP, EVOH) without compromising print quality

Feature Integration (Simultaneous with Printing)

  • Zippers, one‑way valves, easy‑tear notches, clear windows, hang holes, etc. can all be added as required

  • Variable data printing (unique codes per pouch) can be completed inline during the printing process—no secondary operation needed

Printing Inks & Eco‑Friendly Options

  • Three ink types available: solvent‑based, solvent‑free eco‑friendly, and water‑based—all food‑contact compliant

  • High colour fastness: resistant to rubbing, light, and fading (lightfastness ≥ grade 4 on the Blue Wool Scale)

Sampling & Approval Process

  • Digital Proof: High‑resolution mock‑up provided within 24 hours for online layout approval

  • Physical Sample: 3–5 working days to produce finished sample pouches for verifying colour, registration, and effects

  • Sealed Sample System: Final sample approved with client before mass production, used as the acceptance benchmark

Quality Control System

  • Pre‑press: PDF pre‑flight check + digital proof dual review

  • In‑process: Online spectrophotometric inspection for real‑time colour monitoring

  • Finished product checks: colour difference, registration deviation, adhesion, scratch resistance, and heat‑seal strength

Minimum Order Quantity & Lead Time

  • MOQ: 1,000 pieces (standard); 500 pieces negotiable (for plate‑less processes)

  • Plate‑Making Lead Time: 5–7 working days

  • Sample Lead Time: 3–5 working days

  • Mass Production Lead Time: 8–15 working days (depending on process complexity and order volume)
