Packaging Capabilities

Wynalda Trading provides full-service prepress and proofing. We can process all of the major formats that are used today for file development. Wynalda Trading is a computer-to-plate (CTP) facility, and has been since 1999. Computer-to-plate technology ensures flexibility, quick turnaround, increased quality and reduced costs. Proofing is done with both Fuji and Epson color proofing systems. Digital files can be uploaded to a secure site at Wynalda Trading via FTP.

We have what it takes to make your package stand out from the rest. Print your packaging in 4, 6 or 8 colors all in one pass. Whether it is a standard 4- color carton or a custom special-match color, we are equipped to handle the print. Our in-house ink department gives you flexibility to match the most unusual color on the most unusual substrate.

Special coatings can protect your package and give it added shelf appeal. Print with aqueous coating, UV coating, dull coatings, varnishes and reticulated coating to make your product jump off the shelf. You can even use a combination of coatings to really differentiate you package from everyone else.

Applying cold foil as part of the printing process enhances printed packaging with metallic effects, adding a luxurious, eye-catching finish. In cold foil printing, adhesive is applied in the desired locations while on press and metallic foil is transferred onto the adhesive. This method allows for fine details, intricate patterns, and vibrant colors, as the foil can be overprinted with inks to create a wide range of metallic hues.

Commonly used on packaging for cosmetics, luxury goods, and high-end consumer products, cold foil helps create a premium look that stands out on the shelves. Additionally, cold foil is more eco-friendly compared to traditional hot foil stamping, as it typically generates less waste and is applied in-line during the printing process, streamlining production.

Foil stamping on your package can add that little “bling,” or it can add security for authenticity. Foil stamping can be done in a wide variety of foils and colors that will enhance your package and give it enormous shelf appeal. Adding a security foil will authenticate your product with the use of special security features placed in the foil to guarantee that your customer has the real thing, not a counterfeit.

Want to add a texture to your package, or raise type on the package to make it jump off the box? Then embossing is for you. Embossing or de- bossing gives your package that special feel when you hold it in your hand or look at it on the shelf. You can emboss your type, a background texture or raise a character or logo so that it stands out on your package. The embossing can be a single-level emboss or a sculpted emboss to create your desired effect.

All of our die cutters are equipped with full blanking capabilities, which means your cartons come off the die cutter ready to go to the gluer. The die cutter automatically removes the trim from around your carton and moves the trim to a machine for recycling. The cutting die is designed, programed and produced all in-house, eliminating the possibility of the carton changing from proto-type to finished manufactured carton.

Does the consumer need to see the product that you are trying to sell? Wynalda Trading has the ability to place a window in your carton for viewing the product inside of the carton. The window can be a basic cellophane window for viewing on one panel of the carton, or it can be rigid PET window that actually helps form the sample and design of the carton.
