Pre-print corrugated explained

Pre-print corrugated means digital printing on a liner material that is later laminated to a corrugated base substrate, creating a high-quality printed package. It can be viewed as the digital version of litho lamination.

Pre-print involves printing the top liner on a large roll or sheets before it is fed into the corrugator or laminated to finished board. As such, preprint has often been printed using offset for its historically higher image quality, but this is changing as new technologies such as UVgel emerge.

Rich colours, sharp details

With precise dot placement with no dot gain, UVgel prints have outstanding colour quality and consistency from a wide colour gamut, with sharp details and strong saturation for dark colours.

Velvetty matte finish

UVgel ink drops are ‘pinned’ to the media instantly, prior to LED curing, resulting in a stunning velvety matte ﬁnish on a wide variety of media, such as uncoated and vinyl media.

Odourless

The odourless UVgel prints are certified for immediate indoor use, even in sensitive environments such as schools and healthcare facilities.

Robust, consistent prints

Prints are scratch and scuﬀ resistant. Dot placement is controlled, ensuring consistently repeatable images over time and over diﬀerent machines.
