The process
What single-pass digital print means.
The board passes through the printing system once, with all six colours applied in that single pass. There is no plate making and no separate pass per colour, which supports efficient production at commercial volumes.
Six-colour printing
A six-colour process gives the range needed for photographic images, gradients and detailed brand graphics.
Printed on uncoated board
Printing goes directly onto uncoated corrugated substrates, so the board keeps its natural character rather than needing a laminated sheet.
Water-based inks
The process uses water-based ink technology rather than solvent-based inks.
Energy-efficient drying
An energy-efficient drying system is designed to reduce both drying time and energy consumption during production.
Benefits
What it makes possible.
These are potential advantages rather than guarantees. What applies to your packaging depends on the specification and the order requirements, which we work through with you.
No printing plates
The digital print process needs no printing plates. Depending on the box design, cutting tooling may still be required, which we confirm against your specification.
Easier artwork updates
Artwork can be changed between orders without the plate work a conventional change would involve, which suits packaging that evolves.
Range, seasonal and regional versions
Different designs across a product range, a seasonal campaign or a regional market, handled within one packaging specification.
QR codes and printed information
Codes, batch information and campaign messaging printed directly on pack, connecting the box to product content or a brand story.
Quantities aligned to demand
Order volumes can be matched more closely to what you expect to use, which helps limit surplus printed stock. What is practical depends on the specification.
Applications
Where it fits.
Illustrative uses to discuss with us. Suitability is confirmed per project rather than assumed for every format.
Branded e-commerce packaging
Mailers and postal boxes where the delivery is the brand experience.
E-commerce & postalProduct launches & campaigns
Packaging for a launch window or a promotion, without committing to a long print run of one design.
Retail-ready & displayRetail-facing corrugated
Packs that sit on shelf and have to earn their place there.
Retail-readyFood and beverage outer packaging
Outer cases and multipacks for food and drink brands. Food-contact requirements are assessed for the specific construction and use.
Food & drinkMultiple product variants
Ranges where each variant needs its own design, printed without multiplying tooling and stock.
Consumer goodsInvestment
Backed by investment in advanced manufacturing.
Our digital print offering is supported by production facilities upgraded through a €30 million investment programme spanning manufacturing and warehouse infrastructure.
RightBox is your commercial contact for that capability. We hold the manufacturing agreements, specify the work and manage it on your behalf, so you deal with one party from artwork through to delivery.
How to enquire
From enquiry to production.
Four stages, each confirming something before the next begins.
1
Specification
We agree the box construction, board and sizes, and whether cutting tooling is needed for the design.
2
Artwork review
Your artwork is checked against the dieline, the print process and the board, so it prints as intended.
3
Quotation
Quoted against the confirmed specification and the quantities you expect to order.
4
Production planning
Production and delivery scheduled around your launch date or replenishment pattern.
Questions
Common questions.
What does single-pass digital printing mean?
The board passes through the printing system once, with all six colours applied in that pass, rather than being run through separately for each colour. It is what makes digital print practical at commercial production volumes.
Do we still need tooling?
No printing plates are needed for the digital print process. Cutting tooling may still be required depending on the box design, and we confirm that against your specification before quoting.
Can we change artwork between orders?
Yes. Because there are no printing plates, artwork can be updated between orders, which suits ranges, seasonal designs and regional versions. Each version is still checked against the dieline before production.
Is digital print cheaper than flexo or litho?
Not automatically. Digital removes plate costs and suits shorter runs and frequent artwork changes; other methods can be more economical at longer runs on a single design. We recommend the method that fits the job, which may be any of them.
Can digital printed packaging be used for food?
Food-contact requirements depend on the specific construction and the intended use, so they are assessed per project rather than claimed for the process as a whole. Tell us the product and we will confirm what is required.
Does RightBox print the packaging itself?
No. RightBox is your commercial contact, providing access to this production capability through established manufacturing agreements. We specify the work, manage quality and remain accountable for the result.
