0.01
Colour consistency
The same result from the first sheet to the last, and from the first order to the reprint.
Offset printing
Offset printing
at industrial scale.
Offset is the reference method when consistent colour, high definition and a low unit cost are required in medium and long runs. We print on a four-colour Heidelberg Speedmaster perfecting press: both sides are printed in a single pass, on sheets up to 72 × 102 cm, with an inline coating unit. Every order follows a documented procedure, certified to ISO 9001:2015.
Advantages
What offset delivers.
0.02
Definition
Clean reproduction of small type, fine lines and halftones, critical in instructions for use and compliance text.
0.03
Economy of scale
Make-ready cost is spread across the run, so the unit cost falls as the quantity grows.
0.04
Large sheet format
The 72 × 102 cm sheet carries more units per pass, with less waste and a shorter production time.
0.05
Range of materials
From lightweight papers to packaging boards, 40 to 400 g/m².
0.06
Inline coating
The coating is applied in the same pass as the print and protects the printed surface through finishing and transport.
0.07
Spot colours
Four-colour process (CMYK) and Pantone spot colours, where the corporate identity requires them.
0.08
Two-sided printing in one pass
Front and back are printed in the same pass, with the sheet turned inside the press: consistent colour and front-to-back register, less sheet handling, a shorter lead time.
