Printing and finishing
After press
After printing, the printed image can be enhanced, by applying laminates, metallic foils, matt and gloss varnishes, UV spot coating, embossing, etc. The printed material can be coated with a cold or heat-sealing layer. In a die cutting machine, the blister cards or boxes are cut into their final shape. In this process all the folding, creasing, slitting and other functional lines are added to the packaging.
There are various printing techniques that can be used to produce your blister packaging. The most common printing technique used for the production of blister cards is sheet fed offset. In this technology individual sheets are passed at high speed through a set of printing towers with the purpose of applying various colors on the sheet. At the end of an offset press the sheets are dried and stacked. A large variety of ink types and colors can be printed, onto numerous different substrates such as cardboard and plastic. Inks are cured by using ultraviolet light (UV) or Infrared heat (IR) drying.
