What is an additional process?

At PakFactory, an additional process refers to a special finishing that can be applied to your packaging. Additional processes are all subject to additional fees.

Some of our additional processes include:
  1. Window patching
  2. Embossing / debossing
  3. Foil stamping
  4. Spot UV
  5. Special die-cut
  6. Pantone printing
You can check our Options & Material Library for more details on all our additional processes.

Note: Foil stamping comes in a variety of different colors and patterns. Due to the vast variety, it is best for you to provide us a reference photo to pinpoint the exact foil stamping you are looking for. If you do not have a reference photo, our product specialists will recommend the best one for your packaging.
