Offset printing on pearl paper

Pearlescent paper primarily showcases the luxurious pearlescent effect of the paper itself. If large areas are printed with ink, not only does the paper's pearlescent effect fail to shine through, but the pearlescent effect is also significantly diminished by the ink layer. Therefore, when designing and preparing plates, we should avoid printing large solid-color patterns as much as possible, based on the characteristics of pearlescent paper. Generally, designing simple lines, patterns, and text can both highlight the key elements of the packaging content and showcase the paper's luxurious effect.

The pearlescent particles in pearlescent paper are prone to breakage, and semi-finished products cannot withstand repeated processing steps or friction. Therefore, the production process route should be kept as short as possible, eliminating unnecessary steps, especially those involving significant manual labor. Opt for single-pass printing over two passes, offset printing over screen printing, and inline coating over offline coating. Where possible, omit coating entirely, as it significantly diminishes the paper's pearlescent effect.
