Offset Printing

Offset printing is ideal for the medical, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries, producing high-quality IFUs, medical literature, and packaging inserts or outserts. It delivers precise, consistent results on thin papers, coated stocks, and specialty materials, ensuring sharp text, clear graphics, and full regulatory compliance. Its efficiency in handling large volumes makes it the preferred choice for detailed, multi-page documentation where accuracy and readability are essential to maintaining safety and compliance.

Features

Designed for clarity and easy navigation, our IFUs use clean layouts and legible fonts, ensuring essential information is accessible to all users.

Our IFUs can easily accommodate multiple languages and dense information, providing a seamless solution for global markets and regulatory requirements.

Whether you need a concise, single-page document or a detailed multi-page manual, we can tailor the page count to fit your specific needs.

We offer paper options that are both cost-effective and lightweight, reducing printing and shipping costs while maintaining durability and clarity. Our papers are the most opaque in the industry.

For thinner booklets we offer saddle stitching with rust-resistant staples, ensuring long-lasting durability and reliability, even in challenging environments. For thicker booklets we can offer perfect binding as well.

We design each IFU with customized layouts to optimize space, reduce paper usage, and ultimately lower production costs while still delivering a high-quality product. Ask us about our IFU engineering for your next project!

What is offset printing?

Offset printing is a high-quality printing method in which ink is transferred from a plate to a rubber blanket before being applied to paper or other materials. This technique is widely used in the medical, pharmaceutical, and manufacturing industries for product instructions, IFUs, guides/literature and packaging inserts. It ensures sharp text and clear graphics on thin papers, coated stocks, and specialty materials, meeting strict regulatory requirements. With its efficiency in handling large volumes, offset printing is ideal for producing detailed, single and multi-page documents.
