Premium packaging has impeccable performance and appearance, its main task is to increase the value of the contents, its reliable storage and attracting increased attention from buyers.
Therefore, premium packaging uses higher quality materials that give the product special properties. In this article, we will look at what materials are used for the base and wrapping of packaging, what characteristics and advantages they have.
Types of material for making the base of premium packaging
The base is the frame of the package, to which paper or thin cardboard is glued. The task of the base is to protect the contents of the box from damage and other negative factors, to withstand loads without deforming the sides and corners. Therefore, a dense, rigid material with a high strength margin is used to make the base.
Binding cardboard
Binding cardboard is often used to produce gift and premium packaging. The material is made from environmentally friendly recycled materials by gluing several layers together.
Binding board is made for specific purposes, so it has the following characteristics:
smooth surface without defects high rigidity and density resistance to tearing, breaking, delamination good moisture absorption susceptibility to gluing. Depending on the requirements for the product, cardboard with a thickness of 0.8 to 3.0 mm is used. To give an aesthetic appearance, the cardboard is pasted over with coated, designer cardboard or paper.
Packaging made of binding cardboard holds its shape well and does not deform under various loads. It is used for gifts, board games, service sets, and other goods.
Microcorrugated cardboard
Microcorrugated cardboard is a deformation-resistant material for the production of boxes. It is made from waste paper and cellulose by gluing flat and corrugated layers. The small pitch and increased number of waves give it additional strength.
The main characteristics of microcorrugated cardboard include:
combination of light weight and rigidity environmentally friendly composition, can be used for food products smooth surface suitable for printing Microcorrugated cardboard is well suited for cutting out designer packaging of complex shapes. Microcorrugated cardboard packaging is used for medical products, compact electronics, toys, confectionery, stationery, and tableware.
Types of material for wrapping premium packaging
One of the stages of packaging production is lamination – gluing to the base a thinner material, which may have been previously laminated, selectively varnished or otherwise decorated. This increases the strength of the packaging and gives it an attractive appearance.
Coated paper
For pasting, paper with several layers of chalking is most often used. Due to this treatment, the material acquires the following properties:
perfectly smooth surface snow-white color resistance to moisture, dust no fingerprints remain. The paper can be glossy, with reflections, or matte. Such paper produces high-quality printing with clear color reproduction. Another advantage is the wide possibilities for decoration. Lamination, Soft-touch coating, embossing, embossing can be used for design.
Designer paper
For exclusive packaging design, designer paper is used, which has special properties. It can have a crystal snow-white shade, which creates a three-dimensional image with tonal contrast, or a colored surface similar to velvet, linen, or leather.
Among the advantages of designer paper, the following are worth noting:
medium density, opaque surface extensive palette of colors and textures suitable for various types of printing. Due to its high decorative qualities, the paper can be used without additional decoration or with careful selection of technology.
