What is mass-dyed cardboard?
Mass-dyed cardboard is uncoated paper, the colour of which is added during the manufacturing process. The technology of mass dyeing involves adding a pigment to the paper pulp. Soluble dyes or coloured pigments are used to dye the pulp. Thanks to this technology, the colours are extremely durable and the paper itself is characterized by high opacity (low transparency). Dyeing of cardboard results in a product with unique properties.
What are the characteristics of mass-dyed cardboard?
Packaging made from mass-dyed cardboard underlines the unique character of the product. The variety of beautiful and expressive colours makes the raw material usually play a crucial role in the packaging design. The paper is dyed throughout, so the colour is even and intense. With this technique, not only is the outer layer of paper coloured, but the entire paper pulp is dyed at the production stage. As a result, the cross-section of cardboard seen in many packaging designs is not white or grey.
What effects can be achieved on the packaging?
Mass-dyed cardboard can be used in a wide range of applications and can be processed in a variety of ways. In principle, there are no limitations here. It can be used for offset, digital, and screen printing. It is ideal for dry pressing or hot-stamping. The advantage of this solution is that the mass-dyed paper in the cross-section has the same colour, therefore in cut-outs or folds, we do not see the white colour of undyed paper. The use of this kind of paper allows us to obtain original packaging that will stand out from the competition.
