Why Flexo Printing - high efficiency, speed and low production costs

Дата: 27/01/2022

Flexoprinting becomes one of the main technologies for producing packaging in recent years, even getting ahead of its main competitor in the printing of flexible packaging - gravure printing. Its huge advantages are the small highly-efficient circulations, the speed of producing the forms (clichés) and the low production costs for related circulations. Last but not least is the high quality of modern flexible flexoprint packaging. High-tech developments for color management and stabilization of the flexographic machine parameters are extremely important for the development of this segment - a very important condition to obtain good quality and color reproducibility in the next edition of the product. Since 2000, a new type of laser has been used, providing very good quality with significantly lower energy costs and great stability. The resolution varies between 2000 - 3000 dpi.

We all want to create colorful and impactful packaging for our products, which stand out in stores to sell, to tell stories ...

Packaging will play an even more important role in the future, as it can be the first point of contact for the customer. It needs good structure and brilliant design! It is important to achieve a balance between safety, functionality, appearance and sustainability of the product. This applies to all packaging, whether it is intended for delivery / online purchase or for stores, or both.

Additional advantages of flexographic printing that make it preferred in the production of packaging are:

• Possibility to print on all kinds of substrates and especially on thin and non-absorbent materials;
• Use of various inks (water-soluble, alcohol-soluble, UV – inks, scratch-resistant inks );
• Possibility to print packages of different sizes;
• Excellent seal strength and hot tack effect;
• Excellent mechanical properties;
• Register-assured stability
• Ability to "connect" in line with other processes: pairing (lamination), punching, finishing, varnishing, confectioning;
• Short period of product preparation - from design to finished packaging;
