2. Sampling

This is because when making a digital sample again, there may be differences in color with the digital sample during mass printing, and printing machine to make a solid sample can ensure consistency in color during mass production.

 

3. Publishing

After the sample is confirmed, normal mass production can be carried out. For the production and production of packaging and printing factories, this is actually the first step. The color process of the current color box packaging box is very beautiful, so the published version colors are also diverse. Many color box packaging boxes not only have four basic colors, but also spot colors, such as special red, special blue, black, etc. These are all spot colors, which are different from the normal four colors.
