The printing equipment and technology used for product packaging boxes are critical to ensuring high-quality output. Common printing equipment for packaging boxes typically includes a range of machines such as CTP (Computer-to-Plate) publishing systems, color printing presses, oil coating machines, lamination machines, hot stamping machines, die-cutting machines, folding machines, paper mounting machines, forming machines, and box-gluing machines.
When a packaging box design reaches the printing factory, the process begins with plate assembly and publishing. Most well-established printing factories have their own CTP equipment and technology for efficient plate-making. For instance, many companies, including ours, adopted CTP technology and a series of high-end printing equipment such as the renowned Heidelberg printing machines over a decade ago.
Heidelberg printing machines, often referred to as heavy assets in the printing industry, can be worth over tens of millions of yuan, making them several times more expensive than other brands. However, they offer superior results, with finer dot detail and enhanced gloss and color saturation, which are unmatched by many other machines.
Beyond just having advanced printing equipment, creating a premium packaging box requires a commitment to quality, as well as a highly skilled technical team. The market is saturated with low-cost packaging factories offering inferior products, but only those producing high-end, premium packaging boxes can help clients achieve product premiumization, leading to greater competitiveness in the marketplace.
