What Folding and Gluing Can Do for You

If you’re looking to update your brand’s image, a great place to start is the packaging. It’s what most consumers see of your brand and a key to great packaging is quality folding and gluing. While there are several packaging methods, folding and gluing is one of the most preferred and environmentally friendly manners today. In this method, printed paperboard is cut into suitable sizes and shapes, creased, folded and glued. At Larkin Industries, we are the trusted name in folding and gluing for Omaha and we are here to tell you more about how this process can help revolutionize your packaging. 

 Here’s what your materials and packaging could or should be saying about your brand: 

 

‘We care about our customers.’ Paperboard folding and gluing as opposed to plastic offers more opportunity for creating. There are endless possibilities for unique cuts in the popular world of folding and gluing. Go for a more personalized experience with this versatile way to attract potential customers. There are numerous pocket folder styles, custom-designed mailing packages and so much more! 

 

High standard of luxury. If you are selling a higher-end product or service, luxury designs and finishing effects can help tell your customers about the nature of your product. Packaging with soft-touch coating, matte finish, embossing and foil stamping can give consumers an impression of luxury and higher standards when they see your product. 

 

Environmentally conscious. Over the last several years, many brands are replacing their old plastic packaging with more eco-friendly and renewable folding cartons. 

 

“Tipping” or onserting is another great service to be used in conjunction with folding and gluing. It is the automated gluing of items to direct mail pieces, covers, packages, backers, signatures and other carriers. You can have product samples, cardboard credit cards and more affixed to your promotional item.

The Greatest and the Latest in Shrink Wrapping & More

Your packaging and other promotional materials are often the face in your business so you want to be sure it provides a professional finish. While shrink wrapping is often the final step in the print finishing process, it is often the first thing people notice about your product. As the trusted name in print finishing, including shrink wrapping for the Des Moines area, we would like to tell you more about it and how our process can enhance your your printed materials to help you put your best face forward.

Shrink-wrapping is one of the most popular forms of packaging for multi-packs, major retailers, healthcare facilities, human resource departments, and more. Using an automated sealer, the package travels by a conveyor system, through an electric heat tunnel, and is then removed for final packing. 

Shrink wrapping is ideal for promotional products as well as a variety of other applications. And, this convenient print finishing technique also offers a variety of benefits including protecting items during handling, money savings, saves on storage space, protects against dust, dirt and humidity and more.
