Eco-friendly Flexo Printing
Description
Flexo printing is one of printing technology in packaging industry. It is a combination of letterpress and rotogravure technology where flexible relief plates mounted onto printing cylinders press ink onto a continuous substrate. A basic flexo printing setup consists of a fountain roll, a cell-structured ink-metering or anilox roll, a plate cylinder, and an impression cylinder. Among the most widely-used printing processes – including screen, gravure and lithographic printing – flexo printing has had the most significant growth in recent years, as of the date of publication.
Flexo printing works well with a variety of substrates and fast-drying inks, making it ideal for packaging and publication printing. It is widely used in the production of newspapers, catalogs, shopping bags, self-adhesive labels, disposable cups, milk cartons, gift wrap and wallpaper. Common substrates include both porous and nonporous materials, such as paper, metallic films and foil, cellophane, acetate and cardboard. Aside from conventional solvent-based printing inks, flexo printing can also use water-based, UV-curable, fluorescent and metallic inks.
Coffe Packing possesses many advanced flexo printing machines working on flexo printing products.
