Digitally-printed display base made from corrugated cardboard

 he base made from corrugated cardboard has a quarter pallet format (600 x 800 mm). Digital printing opens up a wide range of customised design options to you. Whether for short-term promotions, seasonal campaigns or new product launches, you can generate attention at the POS with digitally-printed display bases made from corrugated cardboard. The bases can be placed either on a plastic pallet or directly on the floor.

Another benefit: THIMM provides you with a base produced from a single-piece. Whereas two-piece production was previously used which required several process steps, one-piece production with digitally printed motifs is now used. This means we both save production steps and costs.

The tray placed on the base can be aligned to our standard heights or designed to fit the different sizes of your products. All the design options for digital printing are also available for the tray. Please contact us at any time if you are interested!

Digitally printed packaging for e-commerce

 

The digital printing for HelloFresh was the first order on the HP PageWide web press T1100S in Ilsenburg (Germany) in 2017. Since then, the Hellofresh Grillbox ordered online has been shipped in digital printing packaging. Here the digital pressure shows its potentials optimally:

The digital pressure packing is used in two different sizes and for a seasonal campaign. This means small quantities of packaging. Compared to conventional printing processes, digital printing is much more economical here. Read more online about the digital printing premiere in Ilsenburg, Germany.

Retain your customers through customised packaging

 

Internal Printing

Retain your customers through customised packaging for special campaigns or seasonal packaging. In addition to a beautifully printed external cover of a corrugated cardboard packaging unit, digital printing can also enhance the interior surface of packaging with internal printing. This is how special customer experiences are created. Whether for seasonal campaigns with direct and personalised customer targeting, customised slogans or many other ideas – internal printing offers countless possibilities for creating a real brand experience. Generate a WOW effect to create customer engagement through the internal surface of displays, sales and shipping packaging and food trays.

Your colour choices for your design know no limits – the CMYK colour models consists of the three colours of Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black (key) which is derived from the keyplate. A whole range of special colours can be simulated in digital printing using the CMYK process colours. This minimises colour variations. Invisible code in the print image is also possible.

Typical uses & benefits of digital printing

 Digital printing is particularly well suited to small and medium print runs in different formats. Its low set-up costs translate into good cost benefits in comparison to other printing processes. This means you no longer have to place consolidated orders of large print runs or hold high stock levels. Stay flexible and save printing set-up costs!

Digital printing is essential for a quick market launch as you can acquire cost-effective test production runs for your market research. As it is an contactless printing process, fast image changes and therefore shorter delivery times are possible. You can expect an optimisation of your supply chain with digital printing!

Digital Printing

 

The benefits of digital printing are absolutely essential for today’s packaging sector. Digital printing is the ideal process for small to medium print runs and enables the creation of customised printing for packaging and displays. How does digital printing work? Consult the digital printing experts from Mahim Group to find out more.

Definition of digital printing

Digital printing is an contactless print process. This means that no separate print media are required because the print image is transferred directly to the printing press via computer. In comparison to other printing processes, such as offset or flexo-printing, the laborious press set-up is no longer required.

In terms of resolution, digital printing is comparable to offset printing. Digital printing is therefore ideal for high-quality packaging and displays. For printed matter such as business cards, letterhead, stickers & labels, brochures & flyers, posters & billboards, etc., digital printing has already established itself.

Packaging prints from the Mahim Group win the DFTA Award

 The Flexodruck Fachverband e.V. awards the DFTA Award to excellent packaging prints. Two packaging prints from the THIMM Group have won the coveted award:

Display printing for Aoste is the winner in the "Digital Packaging Printing" category.  It was produced on our digital web press in Ilsenburg. Digital printing realistically recreates the wood structure and creates a three-dimensional effect'.

The packaging print for Intersnack Knabber-Gebäck GmbH & Co. KG was produced in five colours using flexo central cylinder printing. It was awarded a prize by the jury in the category "pre-printed corrugated board". This packaging print impresses with its high screen widths and excellent colour brilliance. The finest colour gradients in packaging printing are combined with softly lying areas. The brand with the product designation required 100 percent register accuracy, as the packaging print was produced in four process colours.

THIMM is a two-time recordholder in flexo rotary printing

 

THIMM Verpackung GmbH + Co. KG set a printing industry world record for the first time back in 1997, when it successfully realised 24 different printing orders involving 52 colour changes in just 24 hours (three eight hour shifts with three employees per shift). They produced a total of 250,000 m² of printed paper - enough to cover 34 football pitches!

Five years later, in June 2002, THIMM Print set a record for the largest one-piece image ever printed using the flexographic roll printing method. THIMM owes these achievements to its one-of-a-kind belt printing technology. This world record-setting performance is around five times higher than what can be achieved using industry standard single-cylinder flexographic printing machines. Minimal setup time, dedicated employees, exceptional quality and near-100% machine utilisation were just a few of the reasons why THIMM’s print performance made headlines in trade press as well.

Flexographic printing vs. offset printing: two printing methods, numerous benefits

 Generally speaking, these two printing processes differ in terms of how colour is transferred onto the printing stock. Flexographic printing is a letterprint process, i.e., the print areas protrude upward from an elastic polymer printing plate. Offset printing is a flat printing process in which the areas to be coloured are etched out of a flat metal printing plate.

The amount of ink transferred is measured in lines per cm in all printing processes. More ink (up to 100 lines/cm) can be printed onto a material using offset printing than with flexo-printing (18 to 54 lines/ cm). The higher the number of lines, the clearer the image when viewed up close. Offset printing is typically used for presentation boxes, brochures, posters and displays; flexographic printing is usually used for transport packaging, folding boxes, stackable display boxes and wrapping papers.

What’s the difference between direct printing and pre-printing?

Direct printing is done within the machine while the corrugated sheet is undergoing further processing. Pre-printing involves using previously printed rolls of paper to produce packaging—in other words, printing the roll of paper in a previous stage of production.
