Digitally printed folding eyeglass cases:

the whole process from design to finished product

In the digital age, personalization and efficiency are the key to product manufacturing. The development of digital printing technology has brought revolutionary changes to the production of eyeglass cases, making customization and rapid production possible. This article will take you through the production process of digitally printed folding eyeglass cases. From design to finished product, each step reflects the sophistication and innovation of modern manufacturing technology.

〓►Design and sample production

Personalized design is the starting point of digitally printed folding eyeglass cases. Designers create practical and beautiful eyeglass case designs based on customer needs, combined with market trends and popular elements. After the design is completed, a sample is produced, which is a key step to ensure that the final product meets expectations.

〓►Material selection and procurement

Choosing the right material is essential to ensure the quality and durability of the eyeglass case. Commonly used materials include cardboard, cardboard and PVC. These materials not only need to have good physical properties, but also be able to withstand various treatments during the digital printing process.

〓►Plate making and printing

Digital printing technology allows us to complete the transition from design to printing in a very short time. After the plate making is completed, the design drawing is uploaded to the printing press and printed by a high-precision digital printing press. This step ensures color accuracy and pattern clarity.

〓►Cardboard cutting and surface treatment

After printing, the next step is to cut the large sheets of printed cardboard into the required size and shape. This step requires precise cutting technology to ensure that each eyeglass case is of the same size and regular shape. In order to enhance the look and feel of the eyeglass case, surface treatment is an indispensable step. This may include processes such as glazing, embossing, lamination, etc. These treatments not only enhance the beauty of the eyeglass case but also provide additional protection.

〓►Folding and assembly

Folding and assembly are the core steps in making eyeglass cases. In this process, the cut cardboard needs to be folded according to the design and assembled accurately. This step requires delicate operation to ensure that the structure of the eyeglass case is stable and easy to use.

〓►Application of digital printing technology

The application of digital printing technology allows brands to respond quickly to the market flexibly, print highly customized jobs for multiple SKUs in a timely manner, and provide brand protection. This flexibility is difficult to match with traditional printing technology.

〓►Automated post-press processing

Automation is the future development direction of post-press processing. For example, Valloy's new DuoBlade FX is fully automated, offering a special PERFECT CUT algorithm that tracks the exact die-cutting path of the cutter through realistic simulation.

〓►Die-cutting and creasing

For folding color box jobs, digitally printed sheets can be loaded into the die-cutter feeder and can be die-cut, scored, perforated, embossed and embossed in a single pass.

〓►Waste stripping

Inner and matrix waste are automatically stripped to prepare for folding and gluing or any other final post-press processing steps. The stripping process is nickel-free, resulting in very clean edges.

The production process of digitally printed folding eyeglass cases is a complex process that combines innovative technology with traditional craftsmanship. From design to finished product, every step reflects the ultimate pursuit of details and strict control of quality. With the advancement of technology, we can expect that the production of eyeglass cases in the future will be more personalized, efficient and environmentally friendly. Let us look forward to more possibilities that digital printing technology brings to the eyeglass case manufacturing industry.
