In North America, Elopak works with two printing techniques
- Standard Flexo Printing
- EloChrome Printing
Standard Flexo Printing
Standard flexography is mostly used for designs containing large solid areas of pure colors, bold and sans-serif typefaces and motives where color-to-color register accuracy is not critical.
EloChrome Printing
This offset technique is particularly adapted for high print quality demands to enhance premium brands. It is suitable for photographic motives in 4-color process printing and designs requiring reproduction of details and gradations.
EloChrome color system, combining process colors CMYK and supporting colors Green, Orange, Violet, offers theorical unlimited number of colors per design and significantly wider color gamut compared to process color printing.
Paper board technology
Our beverage cartons are made from approx. 80-90% paperboard, inside barriers and are coated with PE for maximum protection. The paper board is coated at our own facilities to guarantee optimum quality. Our different board structures are designed to ensure the integrity of the product and are also protecting the product from the external environment.
Elopak’s wide portfolio of carton materials for different liquid food offers:
- Optimized barrier properties for light and oxygen protection
- Preservation of sensitive product ingredients such as vitamins
- Maximum shelf life, longer freshness and guaranteed quality
