The importance of high quality printing
Bad quality prints on your packaging can decrease the brand value of your company and the image. Topa has high quality printing possibilities for corrugated cardboard and solid cardboard. The most common way of printing is flexoprinting. Printing of, for example, standard boxes, shipment boxes or stamping boxes can be done both in flexoprinting and offset printing and full colour laminated fleeced boxes. A printed box is very suitable to present your product in the right way. Aside from branding, you can also bring a message across, through printing your name and logo in the desired colours, for example.Advantages
- High quality printing for brand protection
- Ideal presentation of your product
- Packaging as communication medium
- Positive influence on sales
