ISO – International Organization for Standardization

Founded in 1947, it develops and publishes industrial and commercial international standards called «ISO standards.» The most widely-known standards are the ISO 9001 which deals with quality management, the ISO 14000 which deals with environmental management and the ISO/IEC 27001 which deals with information security management.


Screen printing

This printing method is based on a stencil technique. It uses a tight mesh screen, such as silk, stretched over a frame. This screen is coated in a photosensitive emulsion before being exposed to light. This hardens the emulsion in the exposed areas but leaves the unexposed parts soft. The ink will pass through the soft parts onto the support to be printed.


4-color printing

This is a a 4-color printing process. This offset printing technique uses the 4 primary colors (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black) to reproduce all colors. These 4 colors, once mixed, allow to accurately reproduce your color documents.


Offset printing

Offset printing is a priting technique in which the inked image is transferred (or «offset») from a metal plate to a rubber blanket and then to the printing surface. The plate has been previously treated to only receive ink in the printable part and there is a plate for each base color (cyan, magenta, yellow and black.)


Gravure Printing

The principle of the gravure is the impression in hollow which uses a cylinder engraved in hollow with alveoli of greater or lesser depths. The intensity of the ink projected on the substrate will depend on this depth. It is a technique that gives a very high quality rendering but is reserved for very very large prints.

Flexographic printing

This relief-printing technique uses a positive mirrored master of an image as a 3D relief in a photopolymer material. It enables to print sheet by sheet or in rolls. Flexogaphic printing allows for high-speed long run prints and large quantities.


Digital printing

It is a direct reproduction process from digital data which uses neither printing plates (offset printing) nor screens (screen printing.) It is a quick quality printing process for very small or large quantities of different models with minimal make-ready times. Its lower set-up costs allow for small-quantity competitive prices.


Printing

Process of impressing a drawing, image or text onto a support (paper, cardboard, fabric.) There are different printing methods but the main ones used in packaging are: offset, screen printing, digital, flexography and gravure printing.


point of sale information

It allows to guide, orient and inform consumers on the advantages of a product in order to better sell it. Point of sale information uses the same media as point of sale advertising: advertising banners, totems, easels, interactive terminals, etc.
