With PCA and its printing capabilities, you can
express your company's personality, your product's
attributes, and your marketing pitch, any way you

capabilities. Our design professionals will help you
explore the various ways you can graphically enhance
the appeal of your packaging. They will help you find
the most cost effective option that sells your products
the best.
Flexographic Direct Print (Flexo)
Flexographic direct print is the most commonly used
printing option for corrugated products. It is economical,
flexible and provides you with quality packaging and
presents your product in an excellent fashion.
With flexographic printing from PCA you get a resolution
of 60 lines per inch and upto six colors including acqueous
and UV coatings. It is an excellent choice if you are looking
for printing and graphics that are economical while still
providing excellent visual appeal.
Lithographic Printing (Litho)
This option presents your product to the consumer
and seizes the power of merchandising through high
impact graphics. As with rotogravure, lithographic
printing provides near photographic quality and is
a terrific option for smaller runs where flexibility
in copy is a must. It is also well-suited for your
high volume needs where a manufacturing process known
as single-face lamination is used.
Rotogravure Pre-Print (Gravure)
Rotogravure is a cost effective printing method for
higher volume, high resolution packaging and displays.
This printing process, which is unique to PCA in this
application, is the highest quality web printing available
in the U.S. corrugated packaging industry. This process
offers color consistency within each run and bright
and rich colors. Our presses can use a wide variety
of inks including solvent base, water base, metallic,
day-glo, or fluorescent.
In addition, our own in-house filmless engraving
capability allows precision engraved printing cylinders,
minimizing turnaround time and minimizing prepress
costs.
