Fluted intermediate assembly formed in situ and having high resolution image that is used in consumer goods packaging

A printed intermediate blank for use in consumer goods packaging produced in accordance with the following process including the steps of;

• providing a printable substrate, said substrate having first and second faces, first and second transversely extending edges and first and second longitudinally extending sides;
• printing said first face of said substrate with high resolution graphics;
• supplying a core, said core having a series of regularly occurring undulating portions;
• affixing said core to said second face of said substrate such that said core is disposed substantially between said first and second transversely extending edges and first and second longitudinally extending sides;
• adhering a base sheet, said base sheet having first and second faces, first and second transversely extending edges and first and second longitudinally extending sides to said core opposite said substrate such that said core is disposed between said base sheet and said substrate to create a printed intermediate assembly;
• and
• forming a carton blank from said intermediate assembly.

A consumer goods package, comprising;

• a consumer good;
• a blank of material, said blank having a first surface that is produced from a first substrate having first and second sides with said first side having high resolution imaging, said blank further including a fluted material that serves as a core for said blank and a second substrate that has first and second sides with said second side having imaging provided thereon;
• said second side of said first substrate is bonded to one side of said core and said second substrate first side is bonded to another side of said core opposite said first substrate;
• said blank of material forming a consumer goods package;
• and
• said imaging provided on said first substrate contains matching features to said imaging provided on said second substrate and each of which are related to said consumer good.
