Cosmetic manufacturers faced the issue that direct printing on tube products had limitations in reproducing photographs and delicate design expressions, which restricted the range of design possibilities. In response, our company proposed "squeeze labels using offset printing." By adopting this solution, we were able to eliminate issues such as wrinkles and peeling even when the labels are applied to the tubes, allowing the use of designs that include photographs and other intricate motifs, thus enabling the realization of product designs that were not possible before. [Case Overview] ■Challenges - Direct printing on tube products has limitations in reproducing photographs and delicate design expressions. - Without changes, it is impossible to expand the range of designs. ■Proposal - Introduction of squeeze labels using offset printing. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
