Packaging manufacturer — production times and printing options

The right packaging protects products in transit, builds brand identity and improves recognition. As a packaging manufacturer, AWIH offers custom shapes and printing.

 

Printing options for cardboard packaging

Modern printing technologies offer many ways to personalise cardboard packaging. Available methods include:

1. Offset printing – Offset printing provides high quality and precise detail. It is used for complex graphics and designs requiring sharpness and accurate colour reproduction, making it ideal for premium packaging and luxury products.

1. Digital printing – An ideal solution for smaller print runs requiring fast production. Digital printing offers flexible designs and individual packaging personalisation, particularly useful for promotional campaigns.

2. Hot stamping – This method applies metallic foil to cardboard, giving packaging an elegant, luxurious appearance. It is often used in the cosmetics and food industries.

Cardboard packaging production times

One of the most important considerations when choosing packaging is order lead time. Czas realizacji zamówienia na opakowania kartonowe zależy od kilku kluczowych czynników:

1. Design complexity – Simple boxes without additional features can be manufactured faster. More complex construction, printing or special finishes may require longer production times.

2. Order quantity – Lead time also depends on order size. Smaller orders may take less time, while larger runs require sufficient production time. AWIH maintains substantial stocks of ready-made unprinted packaging.

3. personalization – Personalisation with a logo, artwork or special finishes may increase lead time because printing plates and artwork must be prepared. Standard packaging with digital printing takes approximately 7 days to produce.

4. Material availability – Production time may depend on raw material availability. Unusual orders or non-standard materials may require longer lead times, typically 2 to 4 weeks.

How do I order cardboard packaging?

Ordering cardboard packaging is straightforward, but several details affect the final result:

1. Choose the packaging type – Consider which packaging best meets your needs: standard boxes, printed packaging or packaging with additional features such as inserts.

2. Choose the printing method – Decide whether to personalise the packaging. Choose a printing method that suits your brand and product.

3. Specify the quantity and lead time – Contact the manufacturer to agree quantities and production dates. Include any additional requirements, such as specific logistics needs.
