Digital printing

Short-run custom printing with no printing plates. Start at 100 pouches, test a design in front of real customers, and move to rotogravure when the volume makes it cheaper.

No plates, so short runs are viable

Rotogravure needs a cylinder per colour, which only pays off at volume. Digital goes straight from your file to the press, so 100 pcs costs about the same per unit as 500 pcs.

Several SKUs in one order

Because there is no plate cost per design, you can run a starter, a decaf and a seasonal roast in the same purchase — useful when you are still working out what sells.

Move to gravure when the numbers say so

Once a SKU is proven and repeatable, rotogravure brings the unit price down and holds brand colour more tightly across very long runs. We tell you when the switch pays off.

Digital printing at a glance

The numbers below are what we hold ourselves to on the quote. Anything unusual — a very small size, a heavy barrier, a colour match — gets confirmed before you pay a deposit.

MOQ	Digital: from 100 pcs (pouches / bags) or 10 kg (rollstock film). Rotogravure: from 10,000 pcs or 200 kg of film.
Lead time	Digital 10–15 working days. Rotogravure 20–25 working days. Both count from artwork approval.
Best for	New SKUs, short seasons, several designs per order, market tests, sampling at retail quality.
Substrates	Recyclable PE and PP mono-material, home and industrial compostable, kraft paper, and foil / metallised high-barrier laminates.
Finishing	Matte, gloss or soft-touch, plus foil stamping, zippers, valves, spouts, tear notches, hang holes and windows.
Artwork	Vector or high-resolution artwork with the text as outlines, on our dieline. If you only have a flat design, we adapt it to the template.

What you need before we can print

A format and a size (or the pack you are copying), the fill weight, and your artwork. If the artwork is not print-ready we will tell you what to change instead of guessing. Not sure about the format yet? order free stock samples first and hold the material in your hand.

Printing questions

Can you match my Pantone colour?

We print Pantone spot colours and match them as closely as the substrate allows. Colour behaves differently on kraft, on metallised film and on a matte finish, so we send a proof, and for a critical brand colour we recommend a printed sample before the production run.

Why does the printed colour look different from my screen?

A screen shows colour as RGB light while printing uses ink, so some very bright screen colours cannot be reproduced exactly on film. That is why we ask for CMYK artwork or Pantone references and send a proof before production.

Can I have several designs in one order?

With digital printing, yes — for example three designs at 500 pcs each, as long as the size and material are the same. With rotogravure each design needs its own cylinder set, so the artwork is usually consolidated into one design or split into separate orders.

Which finishes are available?

Matte, gloss and soft-touch laminates, matte with spot gloss, foil stamping, and windows or hang holes. Matte with spot gloss is the common choice for coffee and cosmetics; foil stamping and soft-touch add cost and a little lead time, and we send samples of any finish before you commit.
