Hoffmann Neopac, a global provider of high-quality packaging for a broad array of industries and applications, has launched a direct purchase microsite for DigitAll360°, its recently introduced digital tube decoration service.
The new marketplace, accessible via shop.neopac.com, walks tube customers through an intuitive process that includes downloadable design guides and templates, an initial portfolio of stock tubes from 50-200 ml in volume, simple artwork uploads 3D renderings and a comprehensive pre-purchase artwork check.
DigitAll360° Online shop was developed to meet the demands of beauty start-ups, fast-tracked projects of larger companies, and the needs of contract manufacturers or small-quantity pharmacy orders. The service prints photorealistic graphics and text on the entire surface of cylindrical containers.
Available for a wide variety of substrates and almost unlimited colour palettes, DigitAll360° benefits include:
- Unparalleled all-around decoration: True to its name, DigitAll360° offers 360° decoration with no slit or overlap, and also delivers outstanding seam and shoulder printing. As impressive as where it can print is what it can print: highly opaque whites and glosses, vividly displayed to make products stand out from competitors. In addition, on-cap decoration capabilities also will be added to the Digital360° marketplace in the near future.
- Unprecedented digital colour matching: DigitAll360° can employ up to 7 simultaneous colours with white and glossy lacquer at up to 600 DPI resolution. This ultra-wide colour gamut and micron-level colour registration yields photorealistic images and superb colour matching ideal for half-tones, gradients and other special hues
