The Casino Bio is an export job for France, for a brand called ‘Casino Bio’, meaning that the product inside is organic. To reflect this, background of the product is green. It is printed on 20 matt BOPP laminated with 20 metalised BOPP on a Miraflex wide-web CI flexo press. It’s an eight-colour job and the print was challenging in terms of matching the shades on the matte film.
