Thank you all for your answers. Confirmed for supplier B, it was done with a Digital UV printer (I understand the Scodix digital press uses the UV printing technology?). Questions: Is it possible to print two layers of opaque white under the artwork using an offset printing machine? If so, is...

Hi @gordo thanks for your answer. Yes good point but in this case the paper is exactly the same, so it must be the printing machine and/or the colors used.

Thank you @namelessentity and @jwheeler for your answers. I think you're right, vendor B should use digital printing instead of offset, which would justify the price difference... Knowing there are two layers of a white under the artwork (dry trapping) for vendor B, there is no way the...

Hello, I have a mottling effect when printing offset directly on kraft paper. My packaging supplier mentions this is because the paper is not smooth because it's kraft paper. Below is a comparison of two boxes from two different packaging suppliers, with the same pantones, the exact same paper...

Yes, she told me to ask my questions to the experts on PrintPlanet :)

Hello, Thanks for your answer. Below are photos of the Pantone colors (Pantone 282 U, Pantone 2965 U, Pantone 4029 U, Pantone 7507 U and Pantone 7506 U) I want to test on the kraft paper with their mix. If I understand correctly, for the Pantone colors 4029 U, 7507 U and 7506 U, I should...

Hello @Magnus59 and @gordo , I apologize in advance for not being an expert and for my long post, but if you could answer my questions, it’d be much appreciated. I understand there are four options available to accomplish what I want on 400g brown kraft paperboard: Offset printing: Apply...

Thanks @Magnus59, it is much appreciated.

Thank you both for your detailed explanations. @gordo and @Magnus59 would you mind sharing photos of the end results of the process you described above? You can DM if you want to keep it private.

Thank you @gordo for sharing, it's very helpful! I'll see where I can find a Little Joe!

Thanks @gordo ! Just two follow up questions: Knowing the closest Coated Pantones I found are Pantone 2767C for the Blue #182D48 and Pantone 155C for the Flesh #F0D09F when printed on white paper, should I assume the equivalents Uncoated Pantones (2767U and 155U) will give the same result on...

After those two inks are printed on brown kraft paper. Thank!

Hello, Could you please let me know which Uncoated Pantone colors correspond to Blue (#182D48) and Flesh (#F0D09F) if I want to offset print directly on brown kraft paper 400G? Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks @SteveSuffRIT for your answer. Yes just by keeping the box unfolded a few hours/days I have a very different behavior. The packaging and how boxes are stored seem to be the main drivers here. Thanks!

Question, will I get a better result if I convert pantone 2767C (Blue) and pantone 155C (flesh) to their pantone equivalent the U-Series (uncoated), knowing I still want to print directly on a brown kraft paper board of 350G?

Hello all and thanks for your answers, it's very helpful! I think adding 2-3% opaque white should do the job, I'll try. I scratched the Box Example and didn't see any white layer. Let's see, I keep you posted. Thanks!

Hello - Thanks for your answers, that's helpful. @SteveSuffRIT do you think the size and number of perforations have an impact? In my case I have a higher number of small perforations compared to the Example.

Hello! I am trying to understand why the behavior of the edges of my sample compared to the example from a competitor is different. The two boxes are both four-corner cardboard bakery boxes sold folded. When I unfold my sample, the edges tend to spring back to their original folded position...

Hello! We did offset printing directly on a brown kraft paper board of 350G with a blue background in pantone 2767C and text on it in pantone 155C (flesh color). The rendering is darker than expected for both colors (see picture below the comparison between our sample and the reference). I know...
