What Is Digital Box Printing?

Digital printing involves reproducing electronic images onto various materials. It’s a direct-to-surface method, so we apply the image directly to the material without the need for cylinders or print plates. Digital printing is associated with and preferred for cardboard and coated boxes.

The Digital Printing Process

Digital printing’s streamlined process is ideal for cardboard boxes, especially in large quantities. With digital box printing, you’ll skip the prepress step and extra formatting materials to apply your design straight to the box. The steps include the following:

Your design team or our in-house experts will prepare a file with a high enough resolution to match the print’s dimensions.
We add bleed and crop marks to the printing outline.
We’ll maximize the use of paper space to reduce resource requirements.
Once we establish the file, we convert it to PDF, GIF, TIFF, JPEG or BMP file formats.
We send the files to our printing machines and start production.

Digital box printing allows us to make adjustments or variations much easier than other printing methods. If you want multiple designs or similar images with different sizes, we’ll easily accommodate your needs.

There are a few scenarios where you might choose digital printing over other forms, such as when:

You want hyper-realistic images or precise photos
You need multiple variations or custom prints
You need to expedite your order
