Cardboard Boxes

Universal Pak manufactures several types of paper and corrugated cardboard packaging.
 

Paper Cardboard Boxes

Paper cardboard - a set of several layers of paper and glue forming cardboard. Cardboard can be double-sided chalk paper or one -sided chalk paper leaving the other side semi-chalk, without any chalk, with brown craft backing, etc.

 

From this type of material cardboard packages for medicines, biscuits, cakes, sponge cakes, sweets, cosmetics, grain products, rise, buckwheat and bakery products are made.

 

Boxes can be printed and made with the application of all possible post-treatment processes, or without any printing, just cut and glued.

 

Frilled Cardboard Transportation Boxes

Three-layered corrugated cardboard, various thickness, various degrees of robustness, structures available from the FEFCO catalogue.

 

Frilled cardboard boxes can be printed.

Lined Corrugated Cardboard Boxes

Boxes which are most often made of micro-corrugated cardboard and where pre-printed paper cardboard is most often used as the finish. These boxes are robust, durable, they can withstand more weight than boxes made of paper cardboard.

 

As the cardboard printed by the application of the offset technology is used as the finish for these boxes, visually they look smart, bright, of high quality with excellent print.

 

Also post-treatment possibilities can be used: lamination, rising impressions, folio pressing, etc. The design can be made by applying CMYK and pantone colours.

 

Boxes for Cartridges

Universal Pak produces boxes for cartridges for the leading printer cartridge manufacturers in Latvia.

 

The lined corrugated cardboard technology is used for the production of boxes for cartridges.  Boxes are produced from micro-corrugated cardboard and lined with printed cardboard.

 

The result is robust, stable, durable boxes with excellent printing. The design can be prepared from CMYK and pantone colours.

 

Confectionery and Food Packaging

Most of the boxes produced by Universal Pak are packagings for food products: boxes for sponge cakes, biscuits, frozen products, take-away products, snacks, pre-cooked meals, chocolate, sweets, milk products, tea, coffee and other drinks or snacks.

 

In the development of the design for food packaging it is possible to use varied materials, printing technologies and post-treatments. Both cardboard and corrugated cardboard can be used.

 

Frilled cardboard is recommended when the packaging needs to be durable and robust or a product is bulky and heavy, for example, cheese rolls or a big pretzel. When corrugated cardboard is lined with printed cardboard, lamination, UV lacquering or folio pressing can be used as post-treatment.

 

We recommend - this box will be easily noticeable with bright printing and will stand out on store shelves.  Universal Pak can used materials and paints for printing certified as food contact materials.

 

Packaging for Alcoholic and Non-Alcoholic Beverages

Cardboard packages for beer (for 4 or 6 bottles) is the most popular packaging for alcoholic beverages. For these boxes durability is important, to ensure that the box holds the weight, as well as top printing quality.

 

Boxes for champagne, wine and spirits are made by the application of a different technology. In this case, the lined corrugated cardboard technology is used. 

 

The base of a box is made of micro-corrugated cardboard which forms the shape of a box, provides durability and robustness. Printed cardboard is used as the finish for a box.

 

A full CMYK and pantone printing area can be applied to cardboard sheet and all available post-treatment possibilities can be used: lamination, UV lacquering, rising impressions, folio pressing. An exquisite and easily noticeable packaging can be made by combining printing and post-treatment possibilities.

 

A bottle packages in a nice box will also serve as a nice present to your client.

 

Packages for Cosmetic Products

Packages for creams: face, hands, body; boxes for nail lacquers, soap, as well as gift boxes for cosmetic products and sets.

 

In the production of this type of products most attention is focused on quality and the accuracy of post-treatment. Starting from the verification of the printing file and the selection of the material/ cardboard up to packaging and delivery.

 

Nowadays it is important that packaging for cosmetics products is made of environmentally friendly materials. Universal Pak can use high quality recycled cardboard as well as cardboard with the FSC certificate. 

 

In order to visualise the end result, Universal Pak can print-out a sample and cut a box structure. During the post-treatment it is possible to combine several processes on the same item, for example, to combine rising impressions with gold pressing, rising impressions with UV lacquer, in order to bring out special details of the box.
