What EZ Print prints for packaging

EZ Print is a printing company in Singapore, trading since 2017 and working in the Central Business District. Boxes, sleeves, tags and labels — printed flat, cut to a net, and folded into a shape. 9 objects in this section belong to that family, made of foil and texture, specialty paper, rigid board and vinyl and film, and they are bought most often for launch, retail, food and beverage and conference. Each one below states what it is, what it is printed on, how it feels in the hand, what it suits, its lead time — the one standard window, stated identically on every entry — and the mistake made with it most often. EZ Print quotes from the specification and does not publish prices.

9entries

Every one a real commercial print product, described by what it is made of rather than by what it looks like.

6fields

What it is, what it is printed on, how it feels, what it suits, the lead time and the common mistake. Every entry answers all six.

The shelf

All of it, with the specification attached.

Every entry states the same six things in the same order, so two objects can be compared without reading two pages of prose. The lead time is typical and confirmed on quote; the mistake is the one that costs a reprint.

Relief and gloss on a sheet Matt art card at 400 gsm, at finished proportion, 90 × 54 mm, carrying a spot varnish with a hard edge, standing proud of the sheet, at a standard depth, with the 3 mm keep-out from the trim drawn at the same proportion.

Collateral · Packaging

Raised spot UV

A clear varnish screened onto chosen areas of a matt sheet and cured hard, so a mark stands proud of the ground. It is found by a fingertip before it is read by an eye.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Relief and gloss on a sheet Kraft board at 350 gsm, at finished proportion, 90 × 45 mm, carrying a block strike, drawn as relief because foil colour is not simulated, at a standard depth, with the 3 mm keep-out from the trim drawn at the same proportion.

Collateral · Packaging

Foil blocking on kraft and dark board

A heated brass block releases an opaque metallic or pigment layer onto a brown or dark sheet. It is the one mark that reads cleanly on a stock with no white in it, and it needs no underprint to do it.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A sheet, at the cut edge Cut edge of bonded triplex at 900 gsm bonded, drawn at the estate scale of 1 mm = 22 px: 1.24 mm. The middle ply is a colour, drawn as the stripe it makes around the whole silhouette. 3 sheets bonded, with 2 seams drawn.

Packaging · Collateral

Coloured-core swing tag

A tag cut from bonded board with a coloured middle ply, so the only colour on an otherwise plain piece is the stripe running round its edge and ringing the cord hole.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Relief and gloss on a sheet Felt-marked text at 300 gsm, at finished proportion, 105 × 148 mm, carrying a blind emboss, raised out of the sheet and lit from above left, at a standard depth, with the 5 mm keep-out from the trim drawn at the same proportion.

Collateral · Packaging

Blind emboss and deboss

A matched pair of dies presses a sheet into relief with no ink and no foil. It is the only finish that survives being photocopied, faded or reprinted, because there is no colour in it to lose.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A sheet, at the cut edge Cut edge of matt art card at 350 gsm, drawn at the estate scale of 1 mm = 22 px: 0.36 mm. The edge is left as the guillotine leaves it. A soft touch film is drawn over the face.

Collateral · Packaging

Soft-touch laminated cover

A rubberised matt film bonded over the print, with a micro-textured surface that reads as suede under a fingertip. It is the most-noticed finish in a stack and the one that shows every mark.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Film, in section, on its surface Section through a 6-layer film off the liner: the ink on the face. Layer order and count, not layer thickness.

Packaging · Collateral

Holographic and metallised substrates

A mirror or a diffraction pattern under the ink instead of white paper behind it. Every colour printed on it becomes a tint of the metal, which is the effect and also the trap.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A flat net, scored and cut Flat net at finished proportion, 120 × 120 mm, in uncoated woodfree at 400 gsm: a shaped cut contour. Nothing here folds, so no caliper is drawn at a fold and none is claimed.

Packaging · Collateral

Die-cut shapes

Steel rule bent to a shape, set into a forme and pressed through the sheet. It makes the cuts a guillotine cannot make, and the shape you get is the shape a rule can be bent to.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A sheet, at the cut edge Cut edge of kraft board at 350 gsm, drawn at the estate scale of 1 mm = 22 px: 0.46 mm. The edge is left as the guillotine leaves it.

Collateral · Packaging

Kraft and uncoated texture

Two sheets with nothing on top of them: unbleached kraft, brown the whole way through, and uncoated woodfree, where the ink dries into the fibre instead of sitting on it.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

A flat net, scored and cut Flat net at finished proportion, 210 × 99 mm, in matt art card at 350 gsm: 2 scores, 1 perforation run, a rectangular cut contour. The bead of every score is drawn on the inside of the bend, and the caliper at the fold is 0.36 mm.

Collateral · Packaging

Perforation and scoring

Two operations that are constantly confused. A score is a channel pressed into the sheet so it folds without cracking. A perforation is a line of cuts and ties so a part comes away straight.

Standard turnaround is 7–14 working days.

Three ways in, and the other two are still open. The same entries are catalogued by occasion, by object and by substance, because a buyer arrives knowing one of the three.

Narrow it another way.

If nothing here is the object you had in mind, the other two indexes hold the same entries under different headings.

Every print idea, indexed three ways
