With people’s growing pursuit of a high-quality life, not only are all aspects of product performance being enhanced, but packaging standards are also rising. As the first thing customers see, packaging forms their initial impression of a product. Consequently, businesses are increasingly striving for premium packaging— a standard defined by both material quality and craftsmanship. Today, we’ll share practical methods for combining printing techniques for high-end packaging boxes, offering insights for reference.

First, the choice of printing techniques should be based on the type of paper selected for the box. Coated paper offers greater flexibility with a wider range of applicable techniques, while specialty paper has more limitations. Therefore, it’s essential to first confirm the paper type:

– For coated paper: Lamination is a foundational step. For boxes with detailed designs, UV coating and embossing are recommended combinations. For simpler designs, embossing paired with hot stamping works well— UV coating and hot stamping is also an excellent choice.

– For specialty paper: Most types cannot be laminated. For paper with shallow textures, printing combined with UV coating is feasible. For deep-textured specialty paper, only screen printing, hot stamping, and similar techniques are suitable.

In fact, the majority of technique selections depend on the design content. That’s why packaging printing factories typically provide tailored recommendations only after reviewing clients’ design files— matching technique characteristics to the specific design.
