- Wrong material choice — can lead to deformation, fading or peeling labels. Always test materials before launching a print run.
- Design mistakes — inaccurate colour reproduction, illegible fonts. Work with professional designers and do a colour proof.
- Non-compliance with standards — make sure the packaging meets industry requirements (e.g. for food products).
- Cutting corners on print quality — cheap inks or equipment can lead to defects.
- Insufficient testing — run a test print and check the packaging before launching the full run.
Attention to detail and a professional approach will help you avoid mistakes and stay within budget.
