Supreme Quality Printing for Yellow Fats Market

The new technique has been introduced to meet the demand for high impact packaging.

07/01/06 RPC Bebo Nederland has achieved an important breakthrough in the dry-offset printing of containers for spreads, fats and edible oils, offering outstanding photo-realistic reproduction of complex designs.

The new technique – known as Supreme Quality Printing – has been introduced to meet the demand for high impact packaging, increasingly critical as brands fight for prominence on crowded shelves and changes in legislation shorten the product life of packaging.

Supreme Quality Printing has been developed through extensive research and close co-operation with the site’s suppliers of ink and printing plates. The technique advances the quality of dry-offset printing to enable almost photographic quality of printed images.

Unique inks, specifically designed for thermoformed tubs and lids, enable clear, consistent quality, whilst the site has developed a method to enable the dry-offset printing of two colours on top of each other, a breakthrough that makes it possible to make use of CMYK colours.

The latest innovation is the use of laser-engraving to reproduce printing plates, allowing greater definition in the detail of the printed image. RPC Bebo Nederland expects to manufacture the first packaging using this method in Autumn 2005.

The technique is cost-effective, even for smaller runs of below 50,000 units, and lead-times are as little as fifteen weekdays.

RPC Bebo Nederland has created a new brochure and Flash-presentation outlining the capabilities and benefits of Supreme Quality Printing.
