Carton Printing

Carton printing is a professional term in foreign trade packaging, referring to the process of printing text, patterns, trademarks, shipping marks (such as marks), barcodes, or environmental labels on the surface of cartons. Usage scenarios include: custom packaging for export products, brand promotion, logistics identification, and compliance requirements (such as packaging labeling regulations in destination countries). Precautions: 1) Printing content must be confirmed with the customer to avoid spelling errors or cultural taboos; 2) Printing methods (such as flexography, offset printing) affect cost and effect, and should be selected based on order volume; 3) Ink must meet environmental standards (such as REACH, RoHS), especially for exports to the EU; 4) Printing position and size affect carton strength and require reasonable design. Differences from other terms: Carton printing focuses on surface graphics, while 'carton forming' refers to structural processing; 'shipping marks' are part of the printed content but emphasize transport identification. In foreign trade, artwork is often required for customer confirmation, specifying printing colors, positions, and versions.
