Offset Printing Perth

Offset printing, also known as lithographic or litho printing, is a commercial printing process where artwork is transferred using printing plates and rollers before being applied to the printable material. For packaging, it is commonly used for folding cartons, retail packaging, product cartons, printed board and litho laminated corrugated boxes. It is particularly suited to projects requiring detailed graphics, consistent colours and professional print quality across larger production runs.

Yes. Boxes 24 provides offset printing and packaging manufacturing in Perth, Western Australia, with expanded capabilities through our division GT Die Cutting & Print Finishing. We can combine commercial printing with packaging design, die cutting, print finishing and packaging manufacturing, allowing more stages of your packaging project to be managed locally.

Offset printing can be used across a wide range of commercial packaging, including folding cartons, retail cartons, food and beverage packaging, confectionery boxes, cosmetic packaging, printed board, promotional packaging and litho laminated corrugated boxes. The best material and manufacturing process will depend on your product, packaging structure, print requirements and order quantity.

Digital printing is generally better suited to short runs, smaller quantities, prototypes and packaging with frequently changing artwork. Offset printing is generally better suited to medium and larger production runs, established product ranges and packaging requiring consistent colour reproduction, detailed graphics or specialist finishing. Boxes 24 offers both methods and can recommend the most suitable option for your project.

Offset printing becomes more economical as production quantities increase because the initial printing setup can be spread across more units. There is no single quantity that suits every project, as packaging size, material, artwork and finishing requirements also affect production. If you provide your approximate quantity and packaging specifications, our team can compare the available manufacturing methods.

Yes. Boxes 24 can produce custom printed folding cartons using solid board for retail and product packaging applications. Folding cartons can be designed with custom dimensions, folds, closures, tabs, windows and other structural features. Offset printing can then be combined with die cutting and finishing to create a professionally manufactured finished carton.

Litho laminated boxes combine high-quality lithographic printing with the strength of corrugated cardboard. A printed sheet is laminated onto corrugated board, creating packaging with detailed graphics and a stronger structure than a conventional folding carton. Litho laminated packaging can be suitable for premium shipping boxes, retail-ready packaging, promotional kits, gift packaging and larger branded product boxes.

Yes. If you already have established packaging, you can provide your existing dieline, specifications, artwork or a physical packaging sample for review. Our team can assess whether the packaging can be reproduced using our local manufacturing capabilities and identify opportunities to adjust materials, dimensions, artwork, structure or production methods where required.

Offset printed packaging is widely used across food and beverage, confectionery, cosmetics and beauty, retail, hardware, consumer goods, eCommerce and manufacturing. It is particularly useful for established brands that need professional packaging with consistent branding across repeated production runs or multiple products within the same range.

To quote an offset packaging project, it helps to provide your packaging dimensions, approximate quantity, preferred material, artwork, print requirements and any required finishes. If available, you can also provide an existing dieline or physical packaging sample. Boxes24 can then review the project and recommend whether offset printing, digital printing or another packaging production method is the most suitable solution.
