custom Perforation packaging
Perforation is a structural customization option used to change how a package looks, feels, opens, or protects the printed surface. It is specified when the packaging brief calls for dotted tear line for controlled opening, samples, dispensers, and retail packs.
Technical Overview
Perforation should be specified by application, structure, artwork requirements, tolerance, and production quantity before sampling or mass production is approved.
| Technical Metric | Standard Specifications |
|---|---|
| Option Type | Structural finishing option for custom packaging |
| Best Use | Logo emphasis, surface protection, tactile effect, shelf contrast, and premium unboxing details |
| Artwork Requirement | Separate finish layer, clear vector mask, tolerance review, and production-ready dieline placement |
| Sampling Check | Review adhesion, rub resistance, registration tolerance, color shift, and edge behavior on the selected substrate |
| Production Note | Final result depends on paper surface, ink density, coating order, and post-press handling |

Quote-planning FAQ
Confirm artwork mask, registration tolerance, substrate, adhesion, and rub resistance with the final packaging structure before approving a production sample.
Often, yes. Compatibility depends on the selected material, box structure, artwork, quantity, and production sequence, so the complete option stack should be reviewed together.
Share the box or pouch style, product dimensions and weight, quantity, artwork stage, required finish or protection, delivery destination, and target launch date.
