What they see is the packaging. They pick it up, feel it, and make a decision in seconds. That&#8217;s exactly where the sale begins, or where the opportunity ends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a competitive market, the difference between a product that succeeds and one that disappears isn&#8217;t always quality. It&#8217;s how that product appears.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A professionally designed and printed cardboard box can raise the perceived value of a product and drive a purchase decision even when the customer wasn&#8217;t actively looking for it. Weak printing, on the other hand, can undermine an excellent product and make it look like less than it is.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cardboard printing types aren&#8217;t just technical choices, they&#8217;re direct marketing decisions that affect:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Brand image<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customer trust<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Product sellability<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And even profit margins<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Madhat Al-Suwaidi Printing House, drawing on over 27 years of experience producing millions of boxes for major companies across the Middle East, pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics, electronics, this guide brings together everything you need: cardboard types, available printing technologies (offset, flexo, digital), post-printing services, technical specifications, and how to choose what&#8217;s right for your product and budget. All of it, clearly and without complexity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want packaging that doesn&#8217;t just protect your product, but sells it, this guide is for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Why Packaging Is the Most Important Marketing Decision You&#8217;ll Make for Your Product<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many people treat cardboard printing as a production step. In reality, it&#8217;s a sales step.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers don&#8217;t see the cardboard type or the printing technology, they see the final result, and from that result they form their entire judgment of the product.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Print quality, color accuracy, the feel of the box, the clarity of the lines, all of these are indirect signals that tell a customer: &#8220;This is a trustworthy product&#8221;, or &#8220;This is ordinary, easily ignored.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Numbers Are Clear<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">More than 70% of purchase decisions happen at the point of sale, not before it. A product with eye-catching packaging is up to 80% more likely to be chosen over a comparable product in plain packaging. Investing in professional printing returns directly in the form of higher sales and stronger brand loyalty.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Packaging Protects and Sells Simultaneously<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Good packaging doesn&#8217;t just attract the eye, it protects the product from factory to customer. The right cardboard prevents damage in shipping, maintains the freshness of food products, and reflects quality standards in pharmaceuticals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Al-Suwaidi&#8217;s Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Packaging isn&#8217;t an added cost, it&#8217;s an investment that pays back with every sale. A product that looks premium sells at a higher price and gets bought again.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Types of Cardboard Used in Printing<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the right cardboard type isn&#8217;t a cosmetic decision, it&#8217;s the foundation on which the box&#8217;s shape, structural strength, and print quality are built.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before discussing printing technologies, you need to understand the raw material. The wrong cardboard choice makes even the best printing look poor.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Duplex \/ Cartonboard<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most widely used material for consumer product packaging. A rigid board with a white coated exterior that ensures high print quality, and a grey or white back. Delivers the ideal balance between visual quality and production cost.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Available weights:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 230 \u2014 270 \u2014 300 \u2014 350 \u2014 400gsm<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Best for:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pharmaceutical boxes, cosmetics, dry food products, small electronics, any product displayed on a retail shelf.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Al-Suwaidi&#8217;s Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For food products, always ensure you&#8217;re using Food-Grade certified duplex. Not all duplex board is safe for food contact.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Corrugated Cardboard<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Composed of a fluted (corrugated) layer sandwiched between two flat paper sheets. This construction gives it rigidity and resistance to pressure and impact that no other cardboard type can match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Flute types:<\/b><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Flute Type<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Thickness<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Best For<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A-Flute<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.8mm<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fragile and heavy products<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">B-Flute<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.2mm<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food product boxes<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">C-Flute<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4mm<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most common, ideal all-round balance<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E-Flute<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.6mm<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lightweight premium packaging<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">F-Flute<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">0.8mm<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small and precision boxes<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><b>Best for:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Shipping boxes, protective transit packaging, outer packaging for heavy or breakable products.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Coated Art Paper Laminated onto Board<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This material typically isn&#8217;t printed on directly. Instead, the design is printed on premium coated art paper and then laminated onto the board. The result combines the beautiful print quality of coated paper with the structural rigidity of board.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The outcome: exceptional colors, sharp photographic images, and a box that holds up to real-world use, all at once.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Best for:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Luxury cosmetics, gift packaging, premium electronics, any product targeting the upper market segment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. White Board (GC1 &amp; GC2)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pure white board on both sides, delivering exceptional whiteness that makes colors appear more vivid. Widely used in premium packaging and products that rely on white as a core design element.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Best for:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pharmaceuticals, healthcare products, premium white-themed cosmetics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5. Kraft Board<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A brown-toned board made from natural wood fiber. Durable, environmentally friendly, and communicates authenticity and sustainability. Its natural tones limit full-color printing but add a distinctive character no other board possesses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Best for:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Organic and natural products, artisan food, eco-conscious brands, specialty coffee.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Cardboard Type Comparison<\/b><\/h3>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Type<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Print Quality<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Durability<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Best For<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Duplex<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">General retail products<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corrugated<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shipping and protection<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coated on Board<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luxury and premium<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">White Board GC<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pharma and healthcare<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kraft<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eco and artisan<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2><b>Cardboard Printing Technologies<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The right printing technology depends on three factors: quantity, required print quality, and budget. There&#8217;s no single &#8220;best&#8221; technology, there&#8217;s the right one for your specific situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>1. Offset Lithography<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The gold standard of commercial printing. Unmatched in image and color quality at medium to large quantities. Metal printing plates transfer ink with micrometric precision onto the cardboard surface.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The result: sharp images, clear text, and color gradients that no other technology can rival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How it works:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ink transfers from the plate to a rubber blanket cylinder, then onto the cardboard.

Offset with Pantone guarantees your box color is identical across every production run, which is fundamental to consistent brand identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>2. Flexography<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dominant technology for very large volumes. Uses flexible printing plates made from rubber or polymer, the fastest and most economical process at very high quantities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How it works:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The flexible plate carries the design and prints directly onto the cardboard or paper at very high speed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Advantages:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Exceptional production speed<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most economical for quantities above 50,000 units<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Prints directly onto corrugated cardboard<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Compatible with water-based eco-friendly inks<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Limitations:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lower quality than offset for complex imagery and color gradients<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best suited to simple designs and solid colors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High plate setup costs<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Best for:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Shipping cartons, bulk food product boxes, large outer packaging, any high-volume run with straightforward designs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>3. Digital Printing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The revolution for small quantities. No printing plates required, the file goes directly from computer to machine. Setup takes minutes instead of hours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How it works:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The print head deposits ink directly onto the cardboard with high precision, the same principle as a desktop printer, but at industrial quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Advantages:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No minimum quantity, starts from as few as 50 boxes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Complete flexibility to change the design between runs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Immediate readiness and faster turnaround<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideal for variable data printing (different names or codes on each box)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No setup costs<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Limitations:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher cost per unit at large quantities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some Pantone colors have limited accuracy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Less color consistency than offset at very large volumes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Best for:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Startups, samples and prototypes, limited editions, seasonal products, any quantity under 1,000 boxes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Al-Suwaidi&#8217;s Note:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Digital is the smartest way to test a new design before investing in offset plates. Print 100 boxes, test them in the market, then move to offset if the product succeeds.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4. Silk Screen Printing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A specialist technique using a silk screen stretched over a frame to transfer thick ink layers onto the cardboard.

Without die cutting, there is no finished box.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Die cutting also enables non-standard features: clear windows, display apertures, and custom shapes that reflect a product&#8217;s brand identity.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6. Scoring &amp; Creasing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pre-scored fold lines that define exactly where the cardboard bends. Without proper scoring, cardboard above 300gsm cracks at the fold and looks unprofessional. Essential for any box above that weight.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>How to Choose the Right Finishing<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The goal isn&#8217;t to apply everything, it&#8217;s to select what serves the purpose:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Budget product:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Lamination only<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Mid-range product:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Matte lamination + Spot UV<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Premium product:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Matte lamination + Embossing + Foil<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Heavy-use product:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Thick lamination<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>The common mistake:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Overdoing the finishes. Adding everything doesn&#8217;t mean a better result, it can make the design cluttered and diminish its impact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One or two finishes used intelligently will always outperform five applied without purpose.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Technical File Specifications for Cardboard Print Files<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A file that isn&#8217;t properly prepared will produce results far below expectations.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Resolution &amp; Dimensions<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>300 DPI minimum<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for all images, below this means blurry results in the final product.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Bleed:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 3\u20135mm beyond the box boundaries, prevents white edges appearing after cutting.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Safe Zone:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 5mm inside the box boundaries, no text or important elements outside this area.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Color Mode<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>CMYK, always<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: RGB produces colors that ink on cardboard simply cannot replicate.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Pantone colors<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for critical brand elements, ensures exact color matching across all production runs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Accepted File Formats<\/b><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>High-resolution PDF (preferred):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Preserves all design elements with complete accuracy.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>AI (Adobe Illustrator):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Ideal for vector-based designs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>PSD:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For image-heavy designs, 300 DPI and CMYK are mandatory.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>Die-line (Cutting Template)<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Request the die-line from the printer before starting your design, not after. The die-line defines exactly where the box cuts, folds, and scores. A design built on the wrong die-line produces a box that won&#8217;t fold or close properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep cut and fold lines on a separate layer, not embedded in the printed design. Convert all text to outlines to ensure fonts display correctly regardless of what&#8217;s installed on the printer&#8217;s system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Common and Costly Cardboard Printing Mistakes<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><b>Mistake 1: Choosing cardboard based on price alone<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Cheap board that fails in shipping destroys customer trust. The real cost far exceeds the price difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mistake 2: Submitting an RGB file<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Colors shift dramatically from what you saw on screen. Working in CMYK from the start eliminates this entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mistake 3: Insufficient bleed<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> White edges appear on the box after cutting and immediately undermine the professional finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mistake 4: Ignoring the die-line<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> A design without a correct cutting template produces a box that won&#8217;t fold or close properly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mistake 5: Printing large quantities without a sample first<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Always print and test a sample before full production. An error discovered across 100,000 boxes costs exponentially more than a sample run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Mistake 6: Choosing the wrong print technology for the quantity<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Digital printing for 10,000 boxes costs double what offset would. Offset for 200 boxes costs triple what digital would. Match the technology to the volume.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>How to Choose the Right Printing Type for Your Product<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Four questions determine your decision:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 1: What quantity do you need?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Under 1,000 = digital. 1,000 to 50,000 = offset. Over 50,000 = flexo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 2: How complex is your design?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Photography, product imagery, and gradients = offset or digital. Solid colors and simple logos = flexo is sufficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 3: What sector is your product in?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pharmaceuticals and luxury cosmetics = offset with premium finishing. Food and beverages = offset or flexo. Shipping and distribution = flexo on corrugated.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Question 4: Do you need design flexibility?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Multiple design variations or frequent updates = digital, without question.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Frequently Asked Questions<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>What&#8217;s the difference between cartonboard and corrugated cardboard?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Corrugated cardboard has multiple layers including an internal fluted core, designed for protection and shipping. Cartonboard (duplex) is a smooth-surfaced rigid sheet designed for retail shelf display with high print quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Can cardboard be printed with Pantone colors?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. Offset printing fully supports Pantone and ensures precise color matching for your brand across all production runs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What&#8217;s the best packaging for food products?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food-Grade certified duplex with offset printing and glossy lamination, protects the product and makes it visually appealing on the shelf.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What are the file specifications for cardboard printing?\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-resolution PDF, 300 DPI, CMYK color mode, 3\u20135mm bleed, all text converted to outlines, die-line on a separate layer.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Al-Suwaidi&#8217;s Printing Services for Cardboard<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing the right print type is an important step, but what matters most is executing it professionally the first time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At Al-Suwaidi Printing, we don&#8217;t just offer a printing service.
