Oh and you may want to use a water based ink made for paper. Plastisol would probably work too, but I am not sure about curing plastisol ink on paper. A water based ink is probably the way to go for boxes.Last edited by Spencer 411; 07-13-2020, 03:20 PM.

Hi Emma!
I have printed on thousands of boxes before and its actually pretty simple. You can use a light tack to help keep the boxes in place, use a 156 or 200 mesh screen with Pitch Black. That's it. Oh, you may or may not need to modify a platen to fit all your boxes. I ended up using different size platens based on my boxes. Just like youth platens for youth shirts.
Once printed, set the box off to the side and either use a hair dryer/heat gun to evaporate the ink or run it quickly through a dryer (if it fits) to evaporate. The ink will soak into the cardboard and actually become pretty durable.
Your biggest headache will be finding space to stack the printed boxes!
