Multi-Color Printing Capabilities

The ability to print more than one ink color directly on the corrugated board in a single pass through the converting equipment.

POP Displays

Point-of-purchase (POP) displays are corrugated structures, usually printed with high-quality graphics, that contain multiple sellable units of a product and serve as sales tools for the product.

POS Packaging

Point-of-sale (POS) packaging is intended to serve both as a container and a sales tool to attract attention on the store shelf. It is usually printed with high-quality graphics and is typically the primary package that the consumer removes from the shelf and takes home with the product inside.
