What is Flexographic Printing?
Flexographic printing (flexo for short) is a rotary printing method that uses flexible photopolymer plates and fast-drying inks. Particularly preferred for self-adhesive label production, this technology delivers unmatched efficiency in mass production with high print speeds and low unit costs.
Combined with UV ink technology, flexographic printing produces vibrant and durable color results, ensuring your labels maintain their brilliance throughout their shelf life. It is compatible with a wide range of substrates — from paper to film, metallic surfaces to transparent materials.
Six compelling reasons to choose flexographic printing for your label production.
High Production Speed
With print speeds of up to 150 meters per minute, we deliver high-volume orders in short turnaround times. Uninterrupted performance in mass production.
Cost Efficiency
Unit costs decrease as volumes increase, offering economical solutions for large print runs. Low ink consumption and fast plate preparation provide additional savings.
Consistent Color Quality
Anilox roller technology ensures uniform ink transfer throughout the print run. No color variation between the first and last label.
Wide Material Compatibility
Print on a wide variety of self-adhesive label materials including coated paper, PP, PE, PET, thermal and transparent films.
Inline Processing
Lamination, cold foil, varnish, die-cutting and numbering are applied in a single pass, saving time and reducing costs.
UV Ink Durability
Instantly cured UV inks provide superior resistance to water, light and abrasion, extending the lifespan of your labels.
Five key steps of flexographic label production, from design to finished product.
Pre-Press
Your design file undergoes color separation, trapping adjustments and preparation for print-ready output.
Plate Making
Photopolymer plates (clichés) are produced with high precision using CTP technology and mounted onto cylinders.
Printing
Colors are printed station by station using UV inks on our multi-station flexo press to build the final image.
Finishing
Varnish, cold foil and die-cut operations are applied in a single pass.
Quality Control
Every label is inspected via vision control systems, wound onto rolls and prepared for shipment.
