Thanks to Foofon’s technology, anyone can design and print custom packaging at a reasonable cost.

Why Should You Use Cardboard Printing for Your DIY Packaging?

This material is both low-cost, environmentally friendly and can be used in many ways for packaging. Printing custom shipping labels or DIY gift boxes for handmade items is easy with a cardboard printer that helps you achieve this task quickly and flawlessly.

Foofon: Where Affordability Meets Professional Quality

We realize at Foofon that accurate printing and vivid colors are crucial for every packaging-related process. Both the budget and the impressive qualities make our printers attractive options for you.

1. Color-Accurate Calibration

If colors on packaging are not consistent, it can weaken a brand very quickly. For this reason, Foofon connects U.S. PP color calibration software to our printers directly. Because of this top-of-the-line solution, your color management is consistent, making it possible to print your branding with exactly the same colors every time.

2. Industrial-Grade System Stability

Every good print job results from the power of its processing core. Foofon printers have an industrial computer system designed by the company, allowing them to easily work with complex designs and heavy volumes of prints. Unlike other printers, you won’t experience punctures or interruptions with printing during challenges like groups jobs or orders.

Practical Tips for Better DIY Packaging

Start with a template: Either draw the graphics by hand or use special software to lay out your graphics, logos and messages. Ensure that the template matches the dimensions of your cardboard box.

Keep it consistent: Ensure your brand’s colors, fonts and logos are placed the same on all the packaging you produce.

Test print first: Before you begin a large print, make a sample that will let you check the alignment and color quality and check the overall resolution.

Label smartly: Allocate room for any compliance or shipping labels in your design to keep everything organized.

Take Control of Your Brand Image

Using cardboard printers from Foofon, DIY packaging becomes more fun than confusing. You will be more efficient, spend less and offer a better-looking brand with every box you print.
