Cases in board
Board cases may directly contain the product or enclose other containers such as phials, tubes or other similar items, especially in the cosmetics field. As well as protecting the products, cases also play a useful role in the display stage, by ensuring orderlypresentation on sales shelves. However, it is very important to make sure that they do not excessively increase the overall dimensions of articles, thereby increasing logistic and environmental costs. To avoid the unsightly white rib often visible along case creases it is a good idea to consider using coloured paste board.
Recommended grammage from 250 gsm to 450 gsm
Materica Gesso paper 360 gsm
Label
Labels are used to ensure recognisability of containers and to identify the brand and the product inside. However simple they may seem to be from a structural point of view, labels often have to respond to precise standards, especially in the field of food products and cosmetics. Their dimension must not only be proportional to the size of the container, but must also allow clear and legible presentation of the product information required by current legislation. In order to create a label with the best possible visual impact, secondary information can be included in a label applied to the rear of the product.
Recommended grammage from 80 gsm to 110 gsm
Printing and specialty printing
Offset printing is one of the most common techniques used to achieve optimum quality for images and text. The name of the product is often highlighted with printing techniques such as embossed printing and hot foil stamping. The latter is generally used to obtain very realistic metallic colours that are very difficult to achieve with other printing techniques. If the board or paper chosen for a package has dark or bright colours, screen printing allows the application of covering inks that can be highlighted against the background.

Greaseproof treatment
When it comes to items which are destined to be handled repeatedly, such as labels, packaging and menus, it is a good idea to choose greaseproof papers. The paper undergoes a special protective treatment during the manufacturing process which makes it greaseproof.
