Printing Techniques


 
Product packaging is a vital ingredient in your marketing mix. Innovative design and production techniques stimulate sales but can be too expensive to produce. So the trick is to find the right balance of ideas, format, printing techniques and cost-to-sales ratio. That's why you should talk to Beamglow. Our quality control and attention to detail are second to none. We deliver high specification print in-house - including specific colour matching and special varnishes through to printing onto foils and complex finishing. Because we manage the entire project from start to finish, you can rest assured of consistent quality and tight adherence to your budget and timescale considerations. We also offer the ability to take expensive cartons and turn them into less expensive formats without detracting from the original quality.

Quality packaging

Beamglow continually works to develop techniques in printing, finishes and die cutting. As well as enhancing and modifying existing packaging, our designs can also give better performance during automatic carton filling. Using our first-class equipment and production methods we may be able to supply a reduced cost base for some customers.

Colour consistency

Beamglow understands colour and the need for consistency. Our production methods use the latest press technology to produce exacting specialised colours which are very important in well-designed product packaging. Because the majority of colours are "specials" as opposed to four colour process, Beamglow has its own laboratory with an advanced computerised colour-matching system - this enables us to mix and match our own colours on-site. We liaise with all our customers to ensure that specialised colours meet our strict standards, providing help and advice on the best alternative designs where consistency could not be obtained using their original format.

Packaging enhancement

Like our embossing quality, our levels of varnishes from matt through to gloss and pearlise are second to none. We can also incorporate hot foil stamping on conventional folding boxboard as a cost-effective alternative to foil board. Prismatic mirror foils in particular can create optimum shelf impact.

Research and development

Beamglow's on-going research and development programme ensures that we keep up to date with the latest developments in boards, inks, varnishes, laminates and foils. This allows us to source the newest and most appropriate materials, techniques and technologies, so our clients can be confident that their packaging will truly stand out.
