The key sustainability features of our folding cardboard boxes are:

Completely recyclable and compostable: Our packaging boxes can be easily recycled and composted after use, allowing you to pack and transport goods while remaining eco-conscious.
Easy disposal: After use, the packaging can simply be placed in waste paper recycling, where it can be reprocessed into new packaging materials.

At Labelprint24, we specialize in producing high-quality prints with brilliant image quality and vibrant, high-contrast colors. We offer both traditional offset printing and modern digital printing technology as part of our core competencies.

Digital Printing: This modern technique allows for greater flexibility and quick turnaround times, making it perfect for smaller batches or customized orders.

Offset Printing: This traditional method is ideal for large production runs, providing consistent quality and cost-effectiveness. It's well-suited for projects requiring high volumes and offers excellent detail and color accuracy.

By choosing Labelprint24, you can create custom cardboard boxes that not only protect your products but also effectively communicate your brand's message and enhance market visibility. Explore our custom boxes UK selection, and let us help you transform your packaging into a powerful marketing tool!

Advantages of digital printing for custom cardboard boxes

With digital printing, all data involved is processed directly on the digital printing system. Utilizing the latest laser technology, we apply print to the cardboard surfaces in a single work step, ensuring precision and efficiency. This method offers several key benefits:

Short setup times: The setup process is quick, facilitating fast delivery times—especially advantageous for short runs and express print products.
Outstanding cost efficiency: Digital printing is particularly cost-effective for smaller orders, making it an ideal choice for businesses looking to print limited quantities.
High-quality finish: By utilizing the latest technologies, we guarantee a high-quality, glossy print image that enhances the visual appeal of your custom cardboard boxes.
Flexibility: One of the standout advantages of the digital printing process is the ability to make last-minute changes. This level of flexibility is not possible with offset printing, allowing you to adapt your designs as quickly as needed.

Choosing digital printing for your folding cartons means you’ll benefit from efficient production, superior quality, and the ability to respond swiftly to any changes, making it an excellent option for your packaging needs. Let Labelprint24 help you create stunning customized custom cardboard boxes that effectively showcase your brand!

Advantages of offset printing for custom cardboard boxes

In many cases, offset printing provides an even higher quality print image with a very fine screen and razor-sharp edges. The superior quality is primarily due to the way the printing ink penetrates deeper into the cardboard surface during the offset printing process. This is because offset printing is an indirect printing process that is more complex than digital printing, wherein the colour is not applied directly to the surface being printed. Instead, the colour is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket and then to the cardboard surface. This process allows for greater precision and consistency, making offset printing particularly suitable for high-volume runs where quality is paramount. This method also offers several key benefits:

Superior ink penetration: The ink in offset printing is absorbed more deeply into the cardboard, resulting in richer colors and more impressive detail.
Sharp edges: Thanks to the precision of the printing technique, offset printing produces exceptionally sharp edges, enhancing the overall quality of the printed design.

Although digital printing has advanced considerably, making it difficult for consumers to discern the differences in quality, offset printing remains the preferred choice for those seeking premium results.

When choosing between offset and digital printing for your folding cartons, consider your specific needs for quality, volume, and budget. With Labelprint24, you can confidently select the printing method that best aligns with your project's requirements!

Understanding the offset printing process

In the offset printing process, the ink follows a meticulous procedure before it reaches the cardboard surface. Instead of being applied directly, the ink first passes through a close-meshed roller system, which ensures even distribution. It is then transferred to the printing plate, from where it moves to an integrated blanket cylinder before finally being applied to the respective surface. The key aspects of the offset printing process are:

Multi-step ink transfer: The journey of the ink through the roller system and onto the blanket cylinder allows for precise application, enhancing the overall print quality.
Separate printing plates for each colour: For each colour in the CMYK colour profile, a separate printing plate must be exposed. This ensures vibrant and accurate colour reproduction in the final print.
Setup time required: The actual printing process can only commence once the plate has been clamped into the printing press, which means that offset printing involves an initial setup phase.

Due to its complexity, we primarily use offset printing for larger print runs and projects with high graphic requirements. This method is well-suited for businesses seeking vibrant, high-quality packaging solutions over substantial orders. When you choose offset printing with Labelprint24, you benefit from a sophisticated printing process designed to deliver exceptional results for your folding cartons.

Understanding the FEFCO code

In addition to individual custom cardboard boxes, our product range includes packaging solutions standardized according to the FEFCO code. FEFCO stands for "Fédération Européenne des Fabricants de Carton Ondule," which is the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers.

The FEFCO code is an internationally recognized system for describing the design of corrugated board packaging solutions. Each design is based on a specific basic packaging type, and the first two digits of the FEFCO code indicate which basic type is being referenced. You can choose from a total of nine basic types:

Basic types of FEFCO code:

01 - Commercially available rolls and sheets
02 - Folding boxes
03 - Lidded boxes or telescope boxes
04 - Folded sleeves and trays (open and stackable die-cut packaging)
05 - Sliding boxes
06 - Rigid boxes
07 - Already glued boxes for erecting
08 - Packaging for retail and e-commerce
09 - Interior fittings for packaging (e.g. cardboard inserts and separators)

Common FEFCO Codes:

FEFCO 0201: This is the code for a folding carton with abutting top and bottom flaps. You will need strapping and adhesive tape to seal the packaging.
FEFCO 0202: This code describes folding cartons that have partially overlapping top and bottom flaps. Adhesive tape or strapping tape is also required for sealing in this case.
FEFCO 0203: This code is used for folding cartons with fully overlapping top and bottom flaps. You can also use strapping and adhesive tape for sealing.
FEFCO 0421: This is the code for die-cut corrugated cardboard packaging that can be locked directly to the base using connecting flaps on the ends. This packaging solution includes an attached lid with a tuck-in flap at the front.
FEFCO 0426: This is also die-cut packaging made of corrugated cardboard, which is locked to the base with the help of connecting flaps on the long side and can be set up directly.
FEFCO 0711: This code refers to a folding carton with abutting lid flaps and an automatic bottom. The carton opens automatically when the corners are pressed together, closing the base at the same time. You can seal the lid with adhesive tape or strapping tape.

By understanding the FEFCO code and the variety of custom boxes UK options available, you can select the ideal packaging solution that best meets your needs at Labelprint24!

Custom cardboard boxes for unique products

Are you looking to pack particularly heavy products or need an exceptionally small or large format? At Labelprint24, you are guaranteed to find the right solution for your specific product requirements. We offer flexible customisation options for your folding boxes by allowing you to choose the appropriate material.

Choosing the right carton for your product weight:

Heavy products: For packaged goods weighing up to 30 kg, our folding boxes made of double-wall corrugated cardboard are the ideal choice, providing the required strength and stability.
Lighter products: If the product weight is lower, you can use cartons made of B-flute, which have a maximum load capacity of up to 20 kg, or E-flute, suitable for weights up to 10 kg.

We also provide extensive flexibility in packaging sizes through our 100% free format options. The available dimensions include:

Length: 50 bis 700 mm
Height: 50 bis 600 mm
Width: 50 bis 500 mm

When designing your packaging, it's important to pay attention to the combination of individual dimensions, as it may not always be feasible to combine the minimum and maximum values. The provided measurements refer to the internal dimensions of the cartons. Therefore, we recommend designing the packaging to be at least 2 mm larger than the packaged product, regardless of the selected dimensions.

With Labelprint24, you can create custom packaging solutions that perfectly fit your product specifications while ensuring safe transport. Let us help you find the right carton for your needs!

Die-cutting methods for folding boxes

In modern packaging production, two primary methods are used to die-cut folding boxes.

Conventional die-cutting method
This traditional approach involves punching the cardboard using a rotating punching plate attached to a punching cylinder. This method allows for high-volume production and is well-suited for creating standardised shapes and designs.
Laser cutting method
The second method employs a laser beam that accurately cuts the material to size. This technique offers several advantages:

Flexibility: Since the laser can be precisely and automatically adjusted to the desired shape, there is no need for physical cutting dies. Changes to design can be made easily and quickly without the need for new dies, making this method ideal for custom or short-run projects.
Precision cutting: The laser provides a high level of accuracy, allowing for intricate designs and complex shapes that might be challenging with conventional methods.

Both methods have their unique advantages, and the choice depends on specific production requirements, including volume and design complexity. At Labelprint24, we utilize both cutting techniques to ensure we meet the diverse needs of our clients in producing high-quality folding cartons.

Overview of folding cardboard boxes production

Various machines are utilized to produce our folding boxes - the entire production process resembles traditional paper production. Below is an outline of the key steps involved:

1. Preparation
Waste paper and pulp are broken down into individual components and then shredded and mixed into a pulp. The systems filter out dirt, foreign bodies, and printing ink residues to ensure a clean mixture.

2. Board machine stages
Once the mixture is cleaned, it is applied to the board machine, where it passes through four key process stages:

Wet section: The pulp is introduced and formed into sheets.
Press section: Excess water is removed, and the sheets are pressed together.
Dryer section: The pressed sheets are dried to achieve the desired moisture content.
Coating section: A coating may be applied for protection and enhancement of the cardboard's properties.

3. Corrugator stage
The flute of the finished cardboard is produced in the corrugator. To achieve the required moldability:

The machine heats and moistens the material before the corrugating rollers shape the cardboard into flute under high pressure.
The material is then mechanically bonded to form single flute corrugated board. For multi-flute versions, additional paper webs in both smooth and corrugated forms are added.

4. Final cutting
In the final work step, the corrugated cardboard is cut precisely to either standardized sizes or custom dimensions as required.
