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.

Digital printing
A digital printing system, such as laser or HP Indigo technology, makes it possible to achieve a result similar to offset printing but without the use of a template being as the image is transferred directly from a file. Digital technology is a great solution for printing small quantities and is mainly used in print-on-demand systems and in customised printing applications to achieve more effective and targeted communication. It is always a good idea to check which types of paper are compatible with digital printing as these are characterised by a special treatment which guarantees optimum performance.

Cutting and creasing
The most common method of processing in the packaging sector is die-cutting: not only it is essential, together with creasing, for cutting and folding paperboard and card cases, it also creates windows that display the contents of the package. Die-cutting is used to make holes with simple outlines, while laser cutting ensures greater precision in the final result, as well as the creation of more elaborate shapes and patterns.
