Top 10 Frequently Asked Questions about Ordering Packaging Bags

During the packaging bag ordering process, customers often ask questions to ensure they order bags that better suit their product positioning. Shunxingyuan Packaging has summarized some frequently asked questions to help you.

1、 Why are the prices of seemingly identical printed products so different?

The price of printing is composed of several parts: the full price of the base film used, design fees, plate-making fees (including film), proofing fees, plate-making (PS plate), printing fees, and post-processing fees.

The price difference for seemingly identical printed products lies in the materials and processes used. In short, printed products also follow the principle of "you get what you pay for".

2、 Why does the printed output differ from the computer display?

This is a computer display issue; each monitor has different color values. Especially with LCD monitors, comparing two computers in our company: one shows a bright red, while the other appears 15% darker, but the actual printed output is the same.

3、 What preparations are needed for printed products?

Customers need to make at least the following preparations for printed products:

1. Provide high-resolution images (300 pixels or higher) and correct text content (when design is required).

2. Provide the finished design file (when design is not required).

3. Clearly specify requirements such as quantity, size, and post-processing.

4、 How can we make our printed products look more upscale?

To make printed products look more upscale, you can focus on three aspects:

1. A novel design style and fashionable layout.

2. Using special printing processes, such as lamination, gloss coating, hot stamping (gold or silver), and screen printing.

3. Using high-quality materials, such as PVC or special materials like wood.

5、 Why can't documents created in Word and other office software be printed directly?

Simple things created in Word (like text and tables) can be printed directly.

We say that Word documents cannot be printed directly because Word is office software, generally used for simple text and table layouts.

Using Word for image layout is inconvenient and prone to unexpected errors during printing, resulting in greater color differences.

For color printing, it's best to use professional design software such as CorelDRAW, Illustrator, or InDesign.

6、 Why does something that looks clear on the computer appear blurry when printed?

Computer displays use millions of colors, even the faintest colors are visible, resulting in a clear visual; printing is a complex process involving output and plate-making. During this process, if the color (CMYK value) of certain parts of the image is below 5%, it will not be displayed during plate-making.

In such cases, the color is ignored, so the printed output is not as clear as the computer display.

7、 What is four-color printing?

It generally refers to the process of reproducing various colors in a color original using yellow, magenta, cyan, and black inks.

8、 What is spot color printing?

It refers to the printing process of reproducing the colors of an original using inks other than the four colors of yellow, magenta, cyan, and black. Spot color printing is often used in packaging printing for large-area base colors.

9、 Which products must use four-color printing?

Photos taken using color photography that reflect the rich color changes of nature, color artwork by painters, or other images containing many different colors, due to process requirements or economic considerations, must be scanned and separated using an electronic color separator or color desktop system, and then reproduced using four-color printing.

10、 What kind of products use spot color printing?

Packaging products or book covers often consist of uniform color blocks of different colors, regular gradient color blocks, and text. These color blocks and text can be separated and printed using four primary color inks, or spot color inks can be mixed and printed in the same color block.

Considering both improved print quality and reduced printing passes, spot color printing is sometimes chosen.
