Direct Printing – Smart and Versatile Packaging Designs

Direct printing is a valuable and adaptable printing technique for fast-paced manufacturing environments. Packaging needs to deliver beyond its visual appeal nowadays and direct printing:

  • supports efficient processes
  • meets sustainability targets
  • adapts to shifting market demands

 

With the inks directly applied to the packaging material, this method eliminates the need for additional labels or sleeves – reducing costs and waste.

At Greiner Packaging, we use a range of proven technologies specialized for different designs, materials, and geometries.

Precise Direct Printing Technologies for Scalable Production

In the direct printing process, colors are applied directly to the base material. The utilized technology depends on the design, material, and shape of the printed cups. At Greiner Packaging, we use advanced dry offset printing technology.

Our machines are capable of printing up to eight colors including white backer pre-print, adding brilliance and clarity to artwork printed on clear cups. We can easily print photographic images without blurriness or distorting customer artwork.

Digital Watermarks in Direct Printing

Digital direct printing makes it quick and easy to implement custom requests for creative products and digital watermarks are an often-included aspect. As printed surfaces on the individual products are being reduced, businesses have an easier time:

  • meeting sustainability goals
  • meeting regulatory goals
  • significantly boosting recyclability

 

Digital watermarks can also be integrated into the printed surface. These improve material detection in the sorting plant and can display further information when cash register systems are used.
