Commercial Printers Adding Packaging

As a UV printer, one of the challenges Service Litho-Print faces is using the right type of synthetics. "You don't want to introduce a brittle nature into the stock, which can happen if you don't have the proper material," he says. "It can also happen during converting. With plastic cartons, clients run a 'drop test' and if it shatters when it falls to the ground, that's not looked upon kindly. Fortunately, we have some good (substrate) suppliers and we don't have many issues."
