Have you ever wondered what the differences are between white-ink digital printing packaging effects and printing packaging without overprinting colours on top of white ink?

      YF Packaging Sdn. Bhd. could justify it for you with the advantages of applying it for digital printing packaging, especially on large-size corrugated boxes. White ink is fully impenetrable and concealing, in contrast to CMYK pigments. It can be mixed with other inks and coatings, such as neon inks or clear ink used as a protective matte or gloss coating. White ink printing offers a wide range of unique and captivating effects on various substrates. There are countless ways to combine them to create different aesthetics. For this reason, a variety of consumers find digital printing with white ink appealing and attractive. Our company offers overprinting in different colours on top of the white ink for single-sided and double-sided digital printing with limitless setup for any box sizes, especially it could be customised for huge corrugated boxes and cardboard.

Personalised Designs on Printing Packaging

      White ink allows you to create sophisticated, unique, customised, and tremendously graphic products, regardless of your business size—small, medium, or large—as a freelancer, graphic designer, or artist. On the basis of the effects you want and the support you are applying, anyone may apply it for a variety of reasons.

      White ink may produce sharper image edges and outlines when used along with CMYK pigments. Over brown papers for digital printing on corrugated boxes, it produces prints that are crisper. brighter and stronger. The outlines are delineated using CMYK printing in white ink.

Bright hues

      Since the latter are less covering, it can be used as an undercoat ink on opaque or transparent substrates to prevent disrupting the actual pigment portrayal of the CMYK inks. White ink’s opaqueness makes CMYK pigments appear more alive, sharper, and brighter on the surface of brown corrugated boxes or cardboard when people choose to overprint colours on top of white ink.

High Cost-Performance Value

      White-ink digital printing is cost-effective, as it does not need to build a new block or new die-cut mold for custom packaging as offset printing does. It incurs lower printing costs compared to traditional printing. For businesses or designers who opt for old-school digital printing, the finished print without white ink could seem dull, restrained, and less bright and lively as shown on the left side of the samples above. The displayed colours are given additional vibrancy and brightness by white ink printing, which enhances the entire design’s attractiveness. Moreover, customers who opt for offset printing on corrugated boxes, need to build a new block and laminate the printed paper on it, and so do die-cut molds that incur extra charges on it. Other than that, the ink used in digital printing is water-soluble and toxin-free without water treatment required.  It is socially beneficial making it eco-friendly and environmentally sustainable for the companies that are practicing and measuring Environmental, Social, and Governance performance.
