Process

By printing the folding carton, added value is added to the packaging. The printing plant is therefore an important pillar of our company. With our modern high-speed printing presses and short set-up times, we can efficiently produce packaging from small to very large print runs. We give your packaging a unique look. The pack can contain up to 7 colors and we have many different paint options. At Koninklijke Drukkerij De Vries we have many options for full-surface or spot application of this varnish: matt/gloss dispersion varnish, matt/gloss UV varnish and combinations of these provide surprising results. We can also apply blister lacquer.

We have a very extensive tooling and dies workshop. Once the correct die cuts have been produced using our CAD-CAM-system, they are cut out of the cardboard during the die-cutting process. During the same process, the creasing, zip and perforation lines are applied. Since we embrace sustainability, the leftover cardboard surrounding the product is collected and recycled. At Koninklijke Drukkerij De Vries, there are various elements we can add to packaging to make it even more luxurious, e.g. by applying accents to the surface that you can see and feel in relief. This is known as embossing. You could use it, for instance, to make your logo more eye-catching.

There are various types of luxury foil to choose from to give the packaging that little bit extra. Gold or silver foil, holographic foil, or 3D foil. Just name it and we'll arrange it for you.

The very last link in the entire process. The initial, still flat packaging materials, are folded at lightning speed by our folding and gluing machines and glued together to form the final consumer packaging materials.

Quality is of paramount importance to Koninklijke Drukkerij De Vries. That's why we use the best people, resources, procedures and techniques so that quality can always be guaranteed. Needless to say, it's not only at the end that quality checks are carried out, but rather throughout the production process, by our specialists and by the machines themselves (through the use of in-line cameras, barcode readers and glue detectors, for instance).
