What you need to know about printing gift-wrap rolls...

Printing with the flexographic method means that we can print dark colours onto a light or white background, but not the other way around.  The only exception to this rule is metallic colours that can be printed onto dark backgrounds (gold or silver can be printed onto black).

It also means that the colours that print over each other will result in different colour combinations where the colours overlap.

A gift-wrap can be a light pink background, with a black pattern printed over it.  In an instance like this, the light pink background will be "floodcoated" onto the paper (the whole roll will be printed light pink).  A stereo will then be made for the black pattern overprint only.  (this will still count as a 2 colour job, but only requires one stereo).

In the event that a light pink and black pattern is done on a white background, it will mean that two stereo's will have to be made, one for the pink print, and one for the black.  (this will count as a 2 colour job, and will require two stereos).

When purchasing branded gift wrap for the first time, these individual stereo plates for each printed colour in the artwork has to be made.

These stereos can be re-used for future gift wrap orders using the same artwork, but possibly with new colour combinations (for instance printing the first run with a red background and a black overprint, the following run can be done with a gold background using a black overprint.

Each stereo made can be used to print on either gift-wrap or gift tissue paper.

It is very important to keep in mind that this type of printing will not render the same colour density of print as for instance a laser or litho printing job, and colours may differ slightly from the required pantones in that it could be lighter shades.  The colour saturation may also be darker or lighter on the edges of the patterns printed onto the paper.  This is due to the stereo's being made from a rubber emulsion and being rolled through the ink in the tray.  - When printing the gift wrap the stereo is mounted on a round cylinder, and then rolled through the colour ink it has to print.  The stereo then prints this artwork on the giftwrap paper that is rolled against it.  This will achieve a one colour design on the paper.

Should there be a second colour on the design the next stereo has to be set up, the new colour ink loaded, and the paper must be aligned exactly (we call this the registration of the design) to achieve the exact alignment of the different colours on the design to print.  This process is repeated for each new colour to be printed (with a maximum of 4 colours).

Great Gift-Wrap Print Ideas:  

Use a matt clear print over a metallic floodcoat to get a metallic foiled effect for the logo

(examples showed here is the Audi giftwrap, and a similar effect was done for Siemens).
