Litho Offset Printing
Litho Printed Products
As a leading China packaging box supplier, Shanghai DE Printed Box are dedicated to use the latest litho printing technology and equipment for our paper packaging boxes and bags.
Lithographic offset printing is a high-quality printing process that produces exceptional graphics with vivid colors and sharp images. In contrast to flexographic printing, this process involves transferring an inked image from the printing plate to a rubber blanket cylinder and then onto paper. The lithographic process relies on the repulsion of oil and water and is particularly suitable for medium to long print runs. Our litho printed products encompass a wide range of items.
