The Perfect Cardboard Box

Friday, March 5th, 2010

If you take a look around you, you’ll find that we use a cardboard box for nearly everything that we have around us. Candy, electronics, and all sorts of other products are packaged into a cardboard box, produced by commercial printing companies before the products make it out to the end user.

When a company spends a great deal of time developing products to bring to market to the consumer, they don’t want these products going in to just any cardboard box. These boxes should be design to assist in the sale of the products which they house. The product must be produced by a company who has access to the latest equipment using Pantone colors for a greater level of diversity in the design of the packaging.

LongPack Printing has been this sort of company for more than 10 years, staying on top of all the latest developments and commercial printing techniques. That makes them well suited to manufacture your cardboard box as they focus their every attention to producing the product for you exactly the way you envisioned it. Many companies today are sourcing their cardboard box printing to China because they have begun to realize that they can maintain good quality while at the same time saving money on their project.

Printing Booklets on a Budget

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

Printing booklets is a necessary for most companies today. If you manufacture a product, then chances are there’s a booklet that goes along with it whether it’s simply informational, or it is an instruction booklet. Chinese printing companies are perfect for projects such as this because of the significant savings that can be realized on the project as a whole.

The whole idea of being in business is to make as much money for the company as possible. Why then would we spend more than absolutely necessary in booklet printing? With technology such as it is, the files can be uploaded to a company such as LongPack Printing and the project completed relatively quickly with a significant savings over any price a local printer could have given you in most cases. This is even after factoring in shipping charges.

Your local printing company is generally only to offer you a significant per piece savings when it comes to printing projects. The problem however might be that you don’t need as many booklets printed that are required to realize that savings. You don’t want to leave any stone uncovered, and you owe it to yourself to at least speak with the LongPack representatives before settling for anyone else. You just might find yourself pleasantly surprised.

Booklets Printing

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Many companies look to booklet printing for promotional reasons at various times throughout the year. This is particularly the case at holiday time as well. These booklets can contain just about any information that would be interesting to your target market. The most important purpose of course is getting your name in front of their eyes.

Booklet printing is relatively inexpensive and the information included in them can range from gift giving guides (a big plus for guys who don’t know what to get someone) to a mini how-to booklet. The booklet should be designed in such a manner that your name is used within the booklet as often as possible without sounding tacky.

For instance, if you are considering the aforementioned gift giving guide for booklet printing, and you are a retail store, then perhaps you can include in the gift tips items that are sold by your store in the guide. The ideas with the use of this product are limited only to your own imagination and LongPack Printing can help you with your choices in booklet printing as well to make sure that you have exactly the finished product that you envisioned from the beginning.

Magazine Printing

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

Magazine printing costs have come down over the years as technology advanced. Technology has been directly responsible for lowering costs on lots of things in fact and due to the nature of the way files are handled in the printing process these days, you can quite literally get your magazine printing done in China, and even when adding shipping charges to the final tally, still save money on the project overall.

In the past magazine printing was done on offset presses, just as they are now. The difference then, is the fact that once upon a time, special printing plates had to be made for the presses using a variety of products to get the plates done properly such as the need for film, developing chemicals, etc. That process also involved human intervention to get “dust” spots off the film or you would have stray markings in the final product.

This is all done digitally now, and while the plate-making process is still a requirement, the need for film and the necessary chemicals to develop that film have been eliminating as we travel along in the digital age. This also means that magazine printing proofs can be checked online and approved without having to wait for a courier to make delivery!
