Retail Packaging
We have experience with items as small as candles and as large as kayaks. We work to find the balance between protection, size and presentation. We are familiar with retailers expectations and understand how packaging can impact the bottom line. Our experience extends to the multi-pack and balancing different weights and shapes. Put our design team to work for you!
Flexo Printing
Choose up to four colors.
​
Flexography is the most common process used to print packaging. The corrugated is pulled through a series of stations, or print units. Each print unit is printing a single color. The various tones and shading are achieved by overlaying basic shades of ink.
This technology employs plates with raised images, and only the raised images come in contact with the corrugated during printing.
Our flexo presses accommodate sheets up to 63" x 126", have up to 71 line screen, and shorten production time by slotting, scoring, folding and gluing.
Our onsite ink kitchen saves time and ensures consistency
Laminated Litho Labels
Choose full or partial labels, one or both sides.
​
As an alternative to printing directly on corrugated, the lithographic process offers crisper images and enhanced color flexibility by printing onto large or small labels that are then mounted onto corrugated.
The basic principle of offset printing is that oil and water do not mix. A litho printing plate has non-image areas which absorb water. The plate is kept moist throughout so that ink only adheres to image areas.
During every cycle of the press the ink image is first transferred to a rubber surfaced offset cylinder and from there to the paper.
The offset cylinders flexibility preserves the delicate plates and conforms to the surface of textured papers.
Tilsner Carton Company has several laminating machines that apply the litho labels to corrugated. We have the capability to do full or spot label mounting up to 81" x 81" Our maximum sheet size is
81" x 121".

Ideal for short run needs as well as prototyping and proofing. It eliminates the expense of printing plates.
​
Our digital printer has 8 colors. In addition to CMYK colors it has light black for neutral grays and orange for more Pantone® coverage
and skin tones.
A gloss or semi-gloss look can be obtained. The inks are UV-curable pigmented ink that offers flexibility on scored areas.
