Prototyping Of Custom Display Packaging
It is important to get a prototype or a sample of your custom display packaging before you fully commit to it. It helps you in different ways; you can make adjustments, spot any overlooked mistake, and you will be able to see if your product gets snuggly placed into the box. We, at GoTo Packaging, believe in measuring twice and cutting once. Our list of sampling options includes;
- Flat View
- Mock-up Video
- Physical Sampling
Flat View
This is the most basic kind of prototyping that we carry out. We will send you a 2D image file of the die card. You will be able to see the scoring lines, measurement, and the artwork that will be printed onto it.
Mock-up Video
The next kind of prototyping that we offer is a 3D mock-up video. This will help you assess all of the edges and angles of your custom display packaging and decide if it’s good to go or not.
Physical Sampling
The final prototyping option that we have is a physical sampling. We ship an actual sample of your custom display packaging to you. You can carry out color tests, place the product in it, and assemble it on your own to see if it matches your requirements or not.
Color Models & Printing Methods For Custom Display Packaging
Despite the right material, packaging style, add-ons, and finishing coats, your custom display packaging won’t have the impact if you got the colors and printing techniques wrong. A good printing technique is not only cost-effective but can help you get your message across to your customers using crisp images of high quality.
Commonly used printing techniques include the following;
- Offset Printing Technique
- Digital Printing Technique
These printing techniques are used while relying on one of the following color models;
- CMYK Color Model
- PMS Color Model
Choosing The Printing Technique
Offset printing techniques will provide you with the best image quality possible, but it is only cost-effective for bulk orders. If you have a low-volume order, choosing an offset printing technique will result in you incurring higher costs. For such low-volume orders, the digital printing technique works best as it requires no setup, offers quicker turnaround times, and is cost-effective. The image quality is not as good as the image quality you get with the offset printing technique, but it is sufficiently good enough to help you with your marketing needs.
The Different Between CMYK and PMS Color Model
The CMYK color model relies on cyan, magenta, yellow, and black to create all other colors. It mixes these colors using the dot approach and offers good color quality. It can help you create virtually any color, but the issue with the CMYK color model is that it’s almost next to impossible to get the color consistency over different printers. This could mean a lot of issues if you’re using your packaging (which you should be) for branding.
The Pantone Matching System (PMS) uses numbers for coding different colors and can help you achieve the same color every time across different printers. The color mixing happens before the application, and this color model can help you achieve exceptional color quality.
