What is Offset Packaging?
Offset packaging uses offset printing technology to produce high-quality packaging materials such as boxes, cartons, labels, and wraps. In this process, ink is transferred from a metal plate to a rubber blanket and then onto the packaging surface (usually paperboard or cardboard). This indirect method ensures exceptional color accuracy, sharp detail, and consistent results - making it the perfect choice for professional, high-volume packaging needs.
What is Digital Packaging?
Digital Packaging is a modern method where the design is applied directly to the packaging material without the need for metal plates. It's ideal for custom designs, short runs and quick turnarounds - making it perfect for startups, seasonal packaging or personalized campaigns.
This technique allows for fast changes and easy testing of multiple designs. Although it may be slightly more expensive per unit in large volumes, it offers unmatched flexibility. It’s a smart option for brands that prioritize speed, agility and uniqueness in packaging.
Which One is Best for Your Packaging?
Your choice depends on scale, timeline and customization needs. Offset Packaging is best for high-volume packaging where color accuracy and cost-efficiency matter most. Digital Packaging excels in smaller batches or fast-moving projects where adaptability is key.
