When should I choose pre printed packaging instead of post-print or digital print?

Pre printed packaging is often the right choice for higher-volume programs that need reliable color consistency, repeatable artwork and premium graphics across many shipments or locations. Digital print may be better for shorter runs, frequent design changes or versioned campaigns.

What quantities are best suited for pre printed packaging?

Pre printed packaging is ideal for high quantities, including programs with minimum order quantities around 75,000+ sheets or 3+ rolls. It is especially useful for national rollouts, club store programs, retail-ready packaging and multi-SKU packaging families.

What print specifications are available for pre printed packaging?

Pre printed packaging can support 2-9 colors plus varnish, with 85-133 lines per inch for detailed, consistent graphics. It can be produced on kraft, mottled white, coated white and solid bleached sulfate substrates depending on performance, appearance and print requirements.

What is pre printed packaging?

Pre printed packaging is corrugated packaging made with linerboard that is printed before it is combined into corrugated board. This process creates a smooth print surface that can deliver sharp graphics, bold color and consistent branding for high-volume applications.
