- 21FlexographyHigh speed, high volume print process that can print onto almost any surface eg. plastic and metal
- 22GravureThe highest quality and most expensive print process; used for the best detailed image eg. a stapm
- 23Screen printingthe lowest quality print process but is able to print on many different surfaces eg. fabric
- 24Print finisheseffects that are added after the main printing process
- 25Spot varnisingA particular part of a printed surface is highlighted by the varnish
- 26Die cuttingThe process used to cut, score or crease shapes in card.
- 27EmbossingA process hat raises the surface of a material using a stamp or a press. It is used to give a slight 3D effect to a design.
- 28Press formeThe actual tool used for die cutting
- 29Creasingthe paper or card is compressed to form a fold line
- 30Primary packagingpackaging that protects the product and gives key information.
- 31Secondary packagingpackaging that contains the actual product and gives detailed information to the consumer.
