Lower Production Costs and Improve Quality with Properly Sized Panels

Sizing panels right is very important because quality and production turnaround times are on the line. Products with a wrap-around final panel need to be carefully planned.

 

Factors that determine interior and exterior panel sizes are:

  • Number of panels
  • Paper thickness
  • Fold sequence

WHY?
Paper has three-dimensions: height, width and thickness. Over & over folded products (a.k.a. roll or barrel) accumulate bulk with every successive fold. Unless your panels are sized to decrease in width (from the outside panel in), you will likely experience one or more of the following problems:

  • Folds that won't line up with color breaks
  • Unsightly bend overs
  • Slower turnaround times.

Help us serve you better. When you send us your purchase order, also send us detailed job specifications. We can help you create an accurate panel size layout ... and prevent production problems before they occur.
