Digital printing on folders (Cyprus)
Digital printing on folders in Cyprus — full-colour CMYK digital print on paperboard and PU leather folders. Runs from 30 units, 5–7 business day lead time from Limassol.
Why digital printing is the right call for full-colour artwork on a folder at low volume
A Nicosia creative agency wanted 80 branded A4 folders for a campaign-handover document pack, each carrying a full-colour photograph of the agency's recent campaign on the cover. Debossing was slow at low volume; UV printing was possible but the firm wanted a soft-touch laminated feel. Digital printing on a HP Indigo 12000 with soft-touch lamination printed the photograph edge-to-edge at 1200 dpi on the PU leather-faced paperboard, finished the run in 6 business days. Cost: €5.40 per folder on a 320×240 mm PU leather-faced A4 document folder.
