Packaging FAQs:
Q: Can you help me with my package design?
A: Yes, we have an internal design team and access to thousands of packaging templates. We can also create a custom design for your product if a pre-existing template is not available.
Q: Does RPI have a minimum order quantity for packaging projects?
A: Since RPI is able to print on both digital and offset production platforms, we do not have a minimum order quantity for most projects. However, the most cost-effective way to produce your package may be dependent on a variety of factors including flat size, finishing options, etc.
Q: What processes and procedures do you have in place to ensure my packaging will meet our production requirements?
A: RPI can work with your production team to ensure the proper testing is done to meet your specs and tolerances including compression testing.
Q: How long does a typical packaging project take from start to finish?
A: Normal lead-time for a typical packaging project can be anywhere from 6-12 weeks if design is required. This, however, is flexible if shorter timetables are necessary to meet a deadline, and if a die line has already been developed timing can be only a matter of a few weeks
Q: Can RPI produce packaging for my food product?
A: RPI facilities are not FDA certified, however we can produce folding cartons for secondary food contact.
Q: Can RPI design my current packaging to be more cost effective?
A: RPI can help evaluate your current cost structure and provide recommendations for cost savings based on using alternative substrates, different production methods, or inventory management.
Q: Is RPI able to produce multiple versions of a package even if they are small quantities?
A: Yes, we can “gang run” multiple versions on a single press form to create production efficiencies or use our digital/offset hybrid printing methods to manage small quantities.
Q: Does RPI offer recyclable packaging options?
A: Yes, we have access to a wide assortment of recyclable and environmentally friendly substrates and can recommend a stock for your paperboard cartons. We are also FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified.
Q: Can you help me determine what PMS colors can be converted to 4-Color process colors?
A: Yes, we can identify for our clients which PMS colors can be closely matched with 4-Color process by either doing a press proof or digital proof. We can also help identify any trapping issues through this proofing process.
