CASE HISTORY TECHNOLOGY NEWS ABOUT US CONTACTS ITALIAN Printing technologies THE WARM IMPRESSION The impression, or hot stamping, is certainly the most suitable technique for obtaining bright metallic effects. This process is carried out through the use of carefully engraved clichés, which imprint on your packaging, through a thermal transfer, the golden or silver leaf or the holographic foils. In this way, mirrored and metallic reflections of the highest quality and spectacular visual impact are produced. This, in terms of marketing, translates into the creation of an attractive package and consequently it will be possible to present a product that differs well from that of competitors, guaranteeing greater visibility and attractiveness towards one's target. Years of experience and great professional qualification make Scatolificio Cristina a real point of reference for the production of packaging printed with gold, silver and holograms. The hot stamping can also be combined with other techniques even in overprinting, making the graphics performed in offset or screen printing metallized, further embellishing your transparent packaging. OFFSET PRESS It is a particular indirect printing technique that takes place through the transfer of ink from a matrix to cylinders and subsequently to the transparent material. Cristina has customized 2 UV offset lines, to overcome the problems related to plastic: from small, thoughtful anti-scratch devices to highly secret structural interventions. Thanks to the offset technique, even the smallest detail can be reproduced on packages with a very high degree of precision. With this technology, to print transparent PET-PET R-PP packaging, it becomes essential to create a perfect balance between water and ink in the machine, a very delicate alchemy resulting from a deep knowledge of the world of color: just a little water in excess to get a faded ink, just a few drops less to see the color adhere even where it shouldn't. Creating the right recipes and keeping them in balance, combining a high amount of variables and parameters together, is the key to excellent printing. THE SCREEN PRINT Screen printing is a particular technique that uses a more or less dense frame, through which the ink is filtered and deposited on the transparent sheet. A differenza della stampa offset, la quantità di colore impiegata è decisamente maggiore. La definizione dei dettagli diventa quindi più complessa, ma gli effetti grafici ottenibili sono assolutamente unici. Si possono infatti realizzare finiture di metallizzazione oro e argento, utilizzare vernici lucide che, oltre a conferire al packaging un aspetto lucente, lo proteggono anche dai graffi, impreziosire il pack con particolari pigmenti che conferiscono al PET un aspetto iridescente e perlescente, aumentare l’esperienza tattile con l'utilizzo di inchiostri a rilievo. Scatolificio Cristina, che stampa in serigrafia fin dai primi anni '70, propone ai suoi clienti soluzioni grafiche innovative e di impatto sia su packaging trasparenti in PET che su quelli in Polipropilene. © 2014 Scatolificio Cristina srl - All Right Reserved - VAT IT02852220124 - Share capital € 100,000.00 IV - Registration REA n ° 295301 Chamber of Commerce PRIVACY / COOKIE POLICY This site uses cookies, including third parties, to send advertising and services in line with your preferences.
