Flexo Printing – Finishing with brilliance
When letterpress was invented in the 1920ies it was called aniline printing due to the inks used.
The name "Flexo Printing" comes from the elastic and flexible plates that are used. The printing elements are raised in a relief-like manner that can be compared with book printing. It is an extremely fast printing method because the printing ink is highly fluid and dries quickly. The ink is transferred by the rubber cylinder.
The versatility of flexo printing makes it possible to print a large variety of materials. It cannot or only partly achieved by other printing techniques, such as intaglio printing or offset printing. Printing jobs are not only done quickly and in high numbers but the pre-press costs is a major criterion for decision because of the relatively easy and fast production of the printing plates. The investment costs for flexo printing are kept within reasonable limits. And what is more – changes can be made easily and quickly.
Often times the plastic packaging is one of the four elements of the marketing chain of your product. You as stakeholder in the retail trade or marketing of store brands require a uniform printing result on the different printing substrates. Our 12- and 8-ink central impression presses and the in-depth know-how in flexo printing on different films make it possible to meet the most stringent requirements down to the smallest detail.
We print and produce mono films (automatic packaging films) from
- polyethylene (PE)
- polypropylene (CPP)
- oriented polypropylene (OPP)
The above basic types are finished by us to become composite films (duplex composite film, triplex composite films) and this material is then used to make the bag you need.
