The thick, spongy characteristics of the corrugated board make it suitable for the flexographic printing. However, even the high-graphic flexographic printed box can hardly rival the litho laminated box. The litho laminated packaging is a combination of the corrugated board structural strength and the high-graphic print of the lithography. In the production, the coated paperboard(CCNB) replacing the kraftliner is offset printed, then glued to medium fluted liner of the corrugated board(also called single-face corrugated) before the die-cutting. The litho laminating process is well explained on the BOBST site.

This lamination approach therefore offers all the quality advantages of lithographic printing, including tight registrations and finely detailed screens and half-tones. When a high-graphic, photo-realistic and multi-color print is crucial to promote your brand, this is probably the way to go.
