Innerboard cardboards are known as sanitary cardboards in the market, which is why this cardboard is used for medicine boxes..
Sanitary boxes refer to boxes that are used to package products such as medicine, food products, or cosmetics. Sanitary boxes used for food packaging are protected with covers such as polyethylene, or the product itself is packed in such a way that it does not come into direct contact with the cardboard.

Technical tips about printing boxes with various types of cardboard
Printing and production of boxes can be done with different types of cardboard:
Gray cardboard back
The use of gray cardboard, due to the fact that its lower layer is recycled, is usually used in the printing and packaging of boxes where the direct contact of the cardboard with the product is not important. In general, the use of gray cardboard for food and medicine packaging is legally prohibited. These boxes are usually used to pack all kinds of tools and industrial parts. In recent years, white-backed cardboards, which are made of gray-backed cardboards, have been produced. White-backed cardboard can be used for boxes such as tea or products that do not have direct contact with cardboard
.
The weight of this type of cardboard is usually from 230, 250, 280, 300, 350, 400 to 500 grams. The weight of the used cardboard is usually chosen based on the weight of the piece that is placed inside the box and the size of the box. The quality of the box and packaging that is printed and produced with high heat cardboard is higher compared to low heat cardboard, and the finished price is much higher.
White cardboard back
This type of cardboard is mostly used for the production of medicine boxes and cosmetic boxes such as tissue, toothpaste, sweets, cigarettes and boxes of all kinds of beans, etc. Due to the high quality of the texture on the back of the cardboard, which uses high-quality and first-hand raw materials, this type of cardboard has a high rating in terms of health and is known as “Inderboard”. Among the characteristics of innerboard cardboards, we can mention higher resistance to bending (more hardness) than gray back cardboard, higher print quality and glossiness on the front and back.
Box design and printing steps
Designed a 3D face to get a general view of the packaging
2- To start the design of a package, the structure of the package must first be determined and the necessary checks should be made for the ease of packaging in the desired factory. The final box must be completely in accordance with the customer’s needs and have no defects in terms of size and beauty.
3- After designing the structure of the box and designing the design of the packaging blade, the desired design is designed. The design must be adapted to the line of the razor so that there is no problem after shaving. The important point in the design on the razor line is that at least 3 mm of extra color should be considered on the edges of the razor so that the whiteness of the cardboard is not visible after shaving..
4- After finalizing the design, the work is sent for lithography. The desired file must be sent in standard formats so that there is no change in the color and structure of the file because otherwise the printed work will differ from the design..
Calculate the price of box printing
One of the concerns of esteemed manufacturers for box printing is the cost of the box. Important factors such as the type of material used, the circulation of the box, the number of printing colors, the cost of the mold and zinc, and the post-printing operations affect the final price of the box.
The most important determining factor in the price of the box is the type of cardboard used. Two types of cardboard are used to print the box
1-Gray cardboard back
2- Inboard cardboard
Gray back cardboard is cheaper than inner board cardboard. This cardboard (grey back) is produced in two Iranian and foreign types, the Iranian type has a lower price and lower quality than the foreign brand. The important thing after choosing the type of cardboard for box printing is the weight of the cardboard. Low heat cardboard has a great impact on the finished price of the box. Remember this point, to inquire about the price of the box you want, ask the printer for the type of cardboard and its weight. Because the mentioned items will have a great impact on the quality of the box and low price will not guarantee high quality
Other important and influential factors in the price of the box are post-printing operations such as cellophane, UV, embossing, and gold plating. In the price inquiry, consider all the mentioned items so that you can get the most optimal price for box printing.
Types of covers for box printing
When glossy paper or cardboard is used for printing, a coating is considered for it to further protect the printing surface. There are different methods for covering printing, which are divided into three general categories: silk, letterpress, and offset.
Cellophane cover in printed box
Another part of the commonly used types of coating is a sample called cellophane, which is placed on the printed work by a cellophane machine. In this method, a layer of BOPP coating is glued on the work surface and it has different types such as matte and glossy. Of course, the devices used in this sector are available in semi-automatic and fully automatic varieties and are available in both thermal and cold types. In the thermal model, cellophane has a better fit on the printed surface due to heat. The good advantage of cellophane compared to UV is the strength it gives to the printed surface, and at the same time, it eliminates the possibility of cracking, and it also has a high safety factor in terms of hygiene.
UV coating on box printing
The UV coating is prominent and well defined. UV is a coating layer to make the work shiny, which makes the printed product more eye-catching. This type of printing is done in the same way as silk screen, and the type of materials used makes the work matte or glossy. Usually, the combination of both matte and glossy UV is used to specify different parts of a printed work. The material used in this type of coating is dried by ultraviolet method, and that is the reason for its name.
The coating layer in this method is more than offset and letterpress. After printing a special color and absorbing the powder in the printed area and passing through UV rays and heat, the tea surface becomes prominent and different from other places. Although here this method is presented as a decorative coating, but this method can be discussed as an independent tea technique, the unique feature of which is the prominence of the printed color surfaces. With the advances made in the printing industry in recent years, a type of UV called local UV has also been created. As it is clear from the name of this operation, only the points marked by the stereotype are UVed. UV sand and UV garland have also been created in recent years, which can also be used to make the work more beautiful.
Varnish cover in box print
Warm varnish: Warm varnish is printed on the material in the same way as silk screen. Due to the presence of petroleum substances in the warm varnish material, catalogs or brochures printed with warm varnish usually emit an unpleasant smell. Today, deodorizing essential oils are added to varnish to reduce its unpleasant smell.
Cold varnish: Cold varnish or printing varnish is printed on the printed work with an offset machine, and it is only a coating to stabilize the color and has almost no gloss or shine. Health standards prohibit the use of varnish and UV for health packaging because these chemicals may affect products and be harmful to human health.
Embossing and gilding for box printing
Embossing and gilding are among the effective methods that are used to enhance the beauty of the box and create special visual effects in it. Different types of highlighting methods can be divided into the following categories:
Simple embossing, which is usually used with gilding.
Inconspicuous embossing, which only leads to the elevation of the surface and does not use gilding or ink on that surface.
Adapted embossing, where the embossed surface is adapted to printed or gilded elements.- Combined embossing, in this case, the embossing and gilding operations are performed simultaneously by a mold.
Highlighting pastel work, which is associated with the creation of colored shadows on the work surface
Embossed polished work, the work surface is polished and glazed.
Scorching, which is done by increasing the heat.
Razor cutting and molding in box printing
Making molds and blades for printing works is inseparable from printing. The first step for printing and producing a cardboard box is the design and structure of the box, which is designed and made according to the size and structure of the box. The design of the mold must be accurate, and before making it, a 3D sample of the box must be printed and sampled so that it can be corrected in case of defects, and then proceed to make the mold. The blade mold and the embossed mold can be placed on a mold and Simultaneously performed razor cutting and embossing. This operation is done by BOBBST machines to have high accuracy. But for the letterpress machine, the blade mold and the embossing mold must be separate.
