01 Four-color printing (4C Process)

1. Four colors are: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K). All colors can be mixed with these four inks to finally achieve color graphics.
2. The most common and most common printing, with different effects on different substrates.

02 Spot color printing (Spot Color Printing)

1. Spot color printing refers to the use of a special ink to print the color during printing, which is brighter than the color mixed with four colors.
2. There are many spot colors. Refer to the Pantone color card. Spot colors cannot achieve gradient printing. If necessary, four-color printing is added.

03 Silk-Screen Printing (Silk-Screen Printing)

Screen printing refers to using silk screen as the base and making a silk screen printing plate with graphics through the photosensitive platemaking method. It is the most adaptable and widely used printing method in the world.
Screen printing can not only be printed on flat surfaces, but also on curved surfaces, spherical surfaces and concave and convex surfaces.

04 Glossy PP Lamination

1. After printing, a transparent plastic film is applied to the surface of the printed matter by heat pressing to protect and increase the gloss. The surface is bright, as shown in the figure below.
2. The most basic process for the surface treatment of paper boxes. Similar to varnish, lamination can enhance the hardness and tensile strength of paper.

05 Matt PP Lamination

1. After printing, a transparent plastic film is applied to the surface of the printed matter by heat pressing to protect and increase the gloss. The surface is matte, as shown in the figure below.
2. The most basic process for the surface treatment of paper boxes. Similar to varnish, lamination can enhance the hardness and tensile strength of paper.

06 UV Coating

1. Local glazing and brightening of the parts of the printed matter that need to be highlighted to make the local pattern more three-dimensional.
2. Printing with matte lamination process, no effect when gloss lamination is used.

07 Foil Stamp

1. Foil stamping uses the principle of heat transfer to transfer the aluminum layer in electroplated aluminum to the surface of the substrate to form a special metallic luster effect.
2. The printing materials are gold, silver, red, green, blue and other colors, but hot stamping can only be monochrome. There are many colors, but not all colors are available in the market.

08 Emboss/ Deboss

1. Use a set of concave and convex templates with corresponding yin and yang images, place the substrate in between, and press out embossed concave and convex images by applying greater pressure.
2. All kinds of paper thickness can be used, but cardboard cannot be embossed.
