2.3.2.7 Punch Board / Player Board
2.3.2.7.1 • The Material Issue
The material is the same as the mass products.
2.3.2.7.2. Color Difference Issue
The offset printed sample can represent the printing quality of the mass products. However, there may always be a slight color difference among batches (Spot color ∆E<2, CMYK colors ∆E<5).
2.3.2.7.3 • The Varnishing
Same as mass products.
2.3.2.7.4 • The lamination
Same as mass products.
2.3.2.7.5 • Paper Mounted Issue
- Not Applicable
- The pattern on the front and back of the punch-board may deviate (it is even worse when linen texture is required). This is caused by the high humidity within the paper during a comparatively short pre-production period, in which the paper can easily be expanded or stretched. This leads to the misalignment of the pattern.
An additional process of dehumidifcation will be used during mass production (at least a 24-hour dehumidifcation period). This will reduce such defects by controlling the humidity of the paper.

2.3.2.7.6 • The Layering Issue
- Not Applicable
- When the punch boards are punched out, issues such as layering or rough edges may occur. This is caused by the high humidity of grey board during a comparatively short pre-production period. An additional process of dehumidification will be used during mass production (at least a 24 hour dehumidification period). This will reduce such defects by controlling the humidity of the paper.
2.3.2.7.6 • Example of layering issue
2.3.2.7.7 • Die Cut Holder Issue
- Die-cut holders are added to the die-cut line as connections between the board and tokens.
This prevents the punched tokens from disconnecting easily, which may embed and damage the die cut mold.
