Short & Sweet: The Most Important Tips from the Video

Screen printing

Ideal for single-color or two-color designs, especially logos and lettering.
Very cost-effective for single-color designs.
Enables the precise reproduction of CI colors (Pantone, HKS).
Exceptionally durable and high-quality paint finish.
Each color requires its own print run.

Digital printing

Perfect for multicolored designs, gradients, and photorealistic images.
There are no restrictions on the number of colors.
Particularly cost-effective for small to medium print runs.
Quick implementation, since no time-consuming tooling is required.

Hot foil stamping

Creates metallic sheen effects (e.g., gold, silver) with a mirror-like finish.
A distinctive look that cannot be achieved by any other process.
Ideal for logos and text, but not for images or gradients.
A separate tool is required for each color.

Please note regarding two-color embossing!
Two-color embossing is technically challenging and can result in a loss of quality, as the colors may blend or the transitions may appear uneven.

Blind Embossing vs. UV Varnish

Blind embossing: A tactile logo without color, created solely by embossing into the material.
UV varnish: A transparent varnish that highlights the logo and makes it visible even in low-light conditions.

Recommendation: These days, UV varnish is usually preferred because the logo remains clearly visible even in low light.

Custom Productions

There are no limits when it comes to special requests—from full-wrap printing to custom inlays.

Also ideal for small quantities and last-minute events.

Printable Areas

For screen printing and digital printing: Leave a margin of at least 1.5 cm from the edges and fold lines.
Screen printing: The price of the printable area does not depend on its size.
Digital printing: The inside pages cannot be printed on; screen printing or embossing is required for that.
For embossed boxes: The lid, flap, and interior surfaces can be printed on, depending on the box size.
