What is offset packaging?

Your brand’s face on the shelf, in offset print

Offset packaging is a type of packaging in which the carton sheet is printed in multiple colours on an offset press and then converted into a box by die-cutting, folding and gluing. It is chosen for product boxes that need photographic images, fine text and consistent brand colours.

Barem Ambalaj produces offset packaging at its three plants in İzmir / Tire, Gaziantep and Karaman: it prints 170–450 g/m² board in 6 colours + coating and delivers the printed sheet either as a folding carton or, laminated onto corrugated board of its own production, as a litho-laminated box. The paper for the corrugated board comes from its mill in Konya / Ereğli.

Balanced customer portfolio, strong exports

With a B2B-focused, end-to-end integrated business model, we serve a broad customer portfolio from various sectors in Türkiye and abroad.

Frequently asked questions

About offset packaging

Offset packaging is packaging in which the carton sheet is printed on an offset press and then turned into a box by die-cutting, folding and gluing. The printed sheet becomes a folding carton on its own, or a litho-laminated box once it is laminated onto corrugated board.

It is used for food, confectionery, cosmetics, small household appliances, electronics, lubricants, textiles and pet products: secondary packaging in which the product appears on the shelf under its brand.

We produce offset packaging at our three plants in İzmir / Tire, Gaziantep and Karaman. The paper for the corrugated board is made at our own mill in Konya / Ereğli.

Our three offset packaging plants have a combined installed capacity of 113,000 tonnes and an actual capacity of 100,000 tonnes.

The minimum quantity varies with box size, sheet layout and print specifications. Once you share your project details, we state it together with our quote.

Send us the size and weight of the product, the order quantity and the printing and finishing you want through the contact form; we prepare a quote together with a structural design proposal.

Our Tire and Gaziantep plants are BRCGS Packaging Materials certified; we work under ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 22000:2018. On request we produce from FSC® (FSC-C141581) certified board.
