Unlocking Possibilities: Extra Features Enhancing Your Restaurant Box Experience

After printing a restaurant box, there are several finishing options that can be applied to enhance its appearance and functionality:

• Lamination: Applying a thin layer of plastic film (such as matte or glossy) over the printed surface helps protect the box from moisture and wear while giving it a smooth and attractive finish.
• Spot UV Coating: This process involves adding a glossy and raised coating to specific areas of the design, creating a contrast between matte and glossy elements, adding a premium look and feel.
• Embossing/Debossing: These techniques create raised (embossed) or recessed (debossed) impressions on the box's surface, adding texture and depth to the design.
• Foil Stamping: Using metallic or colored foil, certain design elements can be embellished with a shiny and eye-catching finish, giving the box a luxurious appearance.
• Die-cutting: Precise cuts can be made to create unique shapes or openings on the box, adding visual interest and functionality.
• Varnishing: Applying a clear varnish to the printed surface helps protect the ink and enhances color vibrancy while adding a subtle sheen to the box.
• Folding/Assembly: Properly folding and assembling the box ensures that it retains its intended shape and structure, ready for use.
• Perforation: Small, precise holes or lines can be added to facilitate easy tearing or opening of specific parts of the box.
• Window Patching: If the box contains food items, a clear plastic window can be added, allowing customers to see the contents without opening it.
