Planning
-
Call the PROMO WRAP professionals who will guide your project
from concept to completion.
-
We’ll assess your needs and take initial measurements
of your proposed packaging.
-
We then provide you with sample shrink-film containing pre-printed
gridlines which will help develop the final die lines utilized
later by the graphic designers. A quotation for the shrink-film
wrapping portion of the project is also provided at this stage.
-
We’ll also help you select graphic designers, pre-press
houses, film suppliers and film printers if required or we can
work with your existing suppliers. Throughout the process, we’re
here to act as lead supplier and liaison on your project, actively
participating and providing guidance where it’s needed
and when you want it.
Design & Pre-Press
-
The Pre-Press supplier prepares a final die line for the designers
which serves as guidance for them on where to place graphics
and copy for mock-ups.
-
Designers prepare the artwork for client, pre-press supplier
and PROMO WRAP review.
-
Mocks-ups are made to determine that the die line is correct,
that panels are readable, and that graphics work with the overall
layout.
-
A sample mock-up is tested in the shrink tunnel to identify
any graphic issues that may exist.
-
Multiple proofs are prepared for approval by all stakeholders
in the project.
-
Final layouts are produced and plates are produced.
-
Plates are shipped to the printer to create customized shrink-film
for the project.
Production of Printed Shrink-Film
-
The shrink-film is provided to the designated printer. The
film is 4 color process printed, reverse, with white laid down
last. Many printers have the ability to also print 4 matched
colors.
-
The printed shrink-film is wound onto the appropriate size
core for the project and is readied for shipment to PROMO WRAP.
Shrink-Film Wrapping
Most shrink-wrapped promotions require an average of 13 to 17 weeks
to complete when graphic and film suppliers must be selected.
