UNDERSTANDING LITHO-LAMINATED CORRUGATED PACKAGING

Accurate Box Company specializes in litho-laminated corrugated packaging. The term “litho” refers to the type of printing process we use, while “laminated” describes how the printing is mounted to two additional sheets of paper to make up the box. Our printing process allows us to print up to 7 colors plus a UV coating on both small and large runs. This capability offers tremendous creative flexibility for graphic designers that shows off intricate and captivating designs.

Litho-laminated corrugated packaging lends itself to all types of industries. Its durability and robustness make it suitable for a diverse array of products while the photo-like printing quality captures consumers’ attention. All of the packaging we produce is customized to meet your unique requirements while embracing a commitment to sustainability. We sustainably source our paper and make 100% recyclable boxes that are printed with eco-friendly inks. Our expertise in manufacturing stand-out packaging enables businesses to amplify their presence in retail spaces and eCommerce environments.

BOX CONSTRUCTION

Our litho-laminated corrugated boxes are constructed with three layers of paper:

  • The top sheet is made of SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) or TMP (Thermo-Mechanical Pulp), a superior printing surface that complements our lithographic printing.
  • The medium and bottom liners are recycled corrugated materials that come in many different weights and strengths.

We offer four different flute profiles, B, D, E, and F flute. In the selection of these substrates, we ensure that your box will achieve all your requirements, including box strength, graphic integrity, and sustainability.

ADVANTAGES OF CORRUGATED BOXES

Corrugated boxes offer an array of benefits, including cost-efficiency, versatility, and sustainability. By using corrugated boxes, businesses can reduce or eliminate secondary and/or excess packaging through our custom boxes tailored to your product’s specifications. Corrugated boxes are also a sustainable alternative to many other types of packaging, like folding cartons which contain 15% more fiber. Even when recycled fiber is used, corrugated boxes exhibit a notable 19% fiber reduction.

We also offer specialty applications and graphic enhancements that can serve as add-ons to litho-laminated packaging to elevate its impact on consumers. Examples include matte and gloss UV, foil, seal or tear tape, double-sided printing, sticker applications and more. Ask our graphic and structural design team for examples of how the combination of photo printing and high-quality graphics can enhance your packaging.
