From Artwork to Shelf — SHMI Printing and Finishing
From Artwork to Shelf

Printing, Coatings & Finish

The press lays down the colour; finishing makes it feel right. Coatings, lamination, spot gloss and matte contrast turn an ordinary carton into a premium, shelf-ready package — while still keeping it fully recyclable paper.

SHMI handles the whole path from repro and proofing to the final finish, so the packaging you approve is the packaging your customer opens.

  • Up to 8-color printing with coated inks
  • Coatings & lamination — gloss, matte, spot effects
  • Proofing on real board — colours matched to your stock
  • Food-safe & recyclable inks and finishes
Finishing Options

The Last 5% That Makes It Premium

Aqueous Coatings

Gloss or matte protection that seals the ink and resists scuffing.

Lamination

Film lamination for surfaces that must survive heavy handling.

Spot Effects

Selective gloss that makes logos and imagery lift off the shelf.

Food-Safe Inks

Low-migration, food-contact-safe inks for FMCG and pharma.

Brand-Matched Color

PMS-matched inks so your brand color is your brand color.

Still Recyclable

Water-based, curbside-compatible finishes end-to-end.

The Process

From Artwork to Approved Proof

Getting the finish right starts before the press runs. We proof on the real board, tune ink density and coatings to your stock, and sign off the colour under retail lighting — so the box that ships is the box that sells.

  • Repro & preflight — artwork fixed before it prints
  • Proof on real board — no surprises on the run
  • Batch color checks — consistent across the run
  • Finish & QA — coating, cutting, dispatch

Color you can count on

We hold the inks to your brand standard and check each batch as it runs — so your customer sees the same blue every single time.
