6. What is Litho Laminate? Is it a plastic?
Litho laminating entails a poster stock paper that is glued to the cardboard of the box. This paper can have up to a full color photographic quality print on it without the look of the corrugation of the cardboard. After the poster paper is glued onto the box, we then assemble the rest of the container as per the specifications.
