The complexity of each commercial litho printing project varies significantly based on its category and specific requirements.
At Lebone Litho, we have built a solid reputation as specialists in delivering high-end, intricate print solutions across various sectors, mastering each product to meet the highest standards of quality and precision.
Packaging Printing
Packaging printing, particularly box packaging, demands meticulous attention to detail to create both visually appealing and structurally sound products. This process involves selecting appropriate materials, designing complex die-cut patterns and applying finishes that enhance durability and aesthetics.
High-end packaging often incorporates elements like embossing, foil stamping and spot UV coating to create a premium look and feel. The complexity increases with custom shapes and sizes, requiring our renowned, precise engineering to ensure functionality and appeal.
Advertising Printing
Large format printing for advertising purposes encompasses products such as banners, trade show displays and signage.
The challenges in this category include maintaining high-resolution images over large dimensions and selecting substrates that withstand environmental factors. Advanced colour management is crucial to ensure consistency and vibrancy across all materials.
Also, integrating elements like backlighting or three-dimensional structures adds layers of complexity, requiring specialised equipment and expertise to execute flawlessly.
Book Printing
Book printing encompasses a range of products, from educational textbooks to luxury coffee table books.
The complexity in this category arises from factors such as binding styles, paper quality and printing techniques. High-end publications may feature sewn bindings for durability, premium paper stocks for enhanced tactile experience and special inks or finishes for visual impact.
Managing colour accuracy and consistency across multiple pages, especially in image-heavy books, requires our meticulous proofing and quality control processes.
Security Printing
Security printing is a specialised field focused on producing items that require protection against counterfeiting and unauthorised reproduction. This includes products like license discs, lottery tickets, thermal rolls, election ballots and examination papers.
The complexity here involves incorporating security features such as watermarks, holograms, microtext and special inks that are sensitive to temperature or light.
During a significant project, Lebone Litho utilised advanced technology to print 64,000 election ballot pads in two weeks, a task that previously required four weeks, showcasing our capability to handle time-sensitive and secure printing needs.
Government Printing
Government printing projects often involve large-scale production of materials such as educational workbooks, official reports and informational brochures. These projects require strict adherence to regulatory standards and specifications. The complexity is heightened by the need for accuracy, confidentiality and timely delivery.
For example, producing millions of workbooks for educational purposes involves coordinating large print runs, ensuring consistent quality and managing logistics for distribution to numerous locations.
