Flexographic Printing

Flexo printing allows printing onto the materials we use:

• Corrugated board and folding box board

It evolved from traditional letterpress printing, incorporating high-speed rotary functionality. The process involves using flexible rubber printing plates to transfer ink onto the various surfaces

How It Works:

• Pre-press: This critical step involves preparing the artwork and creating the flexible plates. Accuracy is crucial to avoid wasted ink and materials.
  • The flexible sterio is attached to the impression cylinder
  • Ink compatibility with the substrate is essential

• Printing Stations:
  • Each press has multiple printing stations, with each station responsible for printing a single color.
  • Rollers transfer ink to the plates.
  • The plate cylinder and impression cylinder apply pressure to transfer ink from the plate to the substrate.

What it’s used for: 

• Food packaging
• Corrugated cardboard
• POS (Point of sale products)

Advantages:

• Quick-drying
• Versatility across substrates
• High-speed production capabilities

Uses eco-friendly water based inks
