SBS (or solid bleached sulfate) paperboard can be used for packing cosmetics, medicines, milk and juice, cosmetics, frozen food and more. Choosing kraft, or CUK (coated unbleached kraft) paperboard packaging is for those who prefer the natural and environmentally-friendly look of recycled paper, which can be used for similar packaging applications. Kraft is often seen to be less resistant to moisture, making it less suitable for food-related products, or frozen-goods packaging. With the right combination of design options, paperboard packaging can look high-end, without high-end pricing.
Rigid boxes
I’m sure you’ve always wondered the type of box they used to package iPhones or those luxury retail products such as Rolex, Tiffany & Co and Marc Jacobs. You have a sense that it’s a type of cardboard but still wasn’t sure because of its durable and premium appearance. This type of cardboard material is called a rigid box.
Poly bags
A poly bag, also known as a pouch or a plastic bag, is manufactured out of flexible, thin, plastic film fabric. It is one of the common types of packaging and can carry a wide range of products including food items, flowers, waste, chemicals, magazines, and so on.
One of the most important aspects of clothing labels is the description of the materials the item is made from. Today’s consumers are more environmentally conscious than they’ve ever been, and not all materials are made the same way. With so many materials made from plastic (lycra, polyester, nylon for example), consumers now have a real ethical choice about which clothes to buy.
The world of digital content is changing so rapidly with the rise of mobile, video, AR, VR, big data, little data, that many publishers may forget that print content is evolving too. New technologies in the Book Printing industry are creating opportunities for publishers to streamline their operations, distribute their books faster, and develop new revenue streams. Digital book printing, which encompasses both inkjet and toner applications, allows publishers to take the pulse of the market and adjust their strategy as demand wanes or surges for individual titles. This responsive approach is something that is not possible with offset printing alone, a model where publishers must guess how a book might perform and take on greater risk.
Yet despite the benefits of digital book printing, many publishers, particularly large trade publishers that rely on bestsellers for their income, have been hesitant to adopt. The reasons for this hesitation range from concerns over the quality and cost of digital printing to challenges related to adjusting workflows and infrastructure. While all of these objections have some validity—publishers cannot yet print large, four-color runs affordably on inkjet presses, for example—significant strides have been made in all of these areas. Book manufacturers continue to invest in faster and higher-quality digital printing presses as well as the backend technology that enables publishers to send PDF files to manufacturers who can print the same day—or even immediately.
