The Power of Digital Printing
At the point of sale (POS), tube decoration can determine a consumer's selection of a certain product over the other.
With our versatile design options, we provide decoration capabilities that make your tube stand out on the shelf. Bring your design ideas to live using the agility of the digital technology without restrictions. Use your packaging to communicate your brand’s image and values directly to the customer.
With our direct-to-shape digital printing solution we offer new decoration possibilities using advanced technology. Achieve unique and high-end product decoration (at the point of sale or on Instagram) using:
• High quality photorealistic images and smooth gradients
• Unlimited number of colors with over 95% spot colors matching
• Seamless 360° with no gap or overlap
• On-cap printing
• Fast response for Marketing campaigns or Indie brands
Neopac provides a full solution with DigitAll360°:• Extended color gamut using CMYK+OGV.
• Streamlined print data preparation processes reduce the error rate.
• Automated preflight artwork check (parameters such as image resolution, font size, line thickness...).

Additional information to the Artwork layoutsTubes with cap printingExtend the tube design to include the fliptop cap or the screw cap and increase your decoration area.
Full printing to tube endWe recommend to leave the top end free from printing (except for the eye mark) for the most esthetic and clean end sealing result.
360° all-around printingOur DigitAll360° allows seamless decoration. Leverage your tube appearance with continuous designs with no start or an end.
Eye mark The eye mark is used by the filling machine to orient the tube so that the sealing operation always occurs at the right position. Keep white background in the upper 8-10mm of the artwork to enable the eye mark readability of the filling machine.
Do's & Don'ts
3
Do's & Don'ts
• Printing in extended color gamut
• Text and images should go on different layers
• Eye mark: Black or dark color on top of clear colours background or white (as a cut out) on dark color back ground in terms of recognition by the filling and sealing machines. Recommended size: 2-3 mm x 7-8 mm. That decision is usually to be taken by the filler and may depend on their actual machine sensor sensitivity. More important: The reading zone of the registration mark should be free of any other type of pattern that may create interference (except a flat color back ground).
• Minimum positive text size 6 pt (small letters like "e, a, o" = 0.95 mm high / line width 0.1 mm)
• Minimum negative text size 7pt (small letters like "e, a, o" = 1 mm high / line width 0.2 mm)
• For small texts we recommend to use base colors, preferably black (K=100)
