Flexography is a highly efficient printing method known for its speed, quality, and flexibility. The process relies on the use of photopolymer printing plates (commonly referred to as clichés) to transfer quick-drying ink onto the surface of printable materials in a high-speed rotary process.
ach printing plate is created before the printing process and contains in relief the design corresponding to each color from the total mix of colors that compose the label image (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, or other special colors).
The printing plates are then mounted separately on a rotating cylinder in one of the press's 8 printing units, each responsible in turn for transferring a single color. Thus, by layering the color planes on the surface of the printable material as it moves from one printing unit to the next, the final image is built.
The result? Impressive ink density, bright images, vibrant colors, precise details, and the same print quality from one run to the next.
Flexographic printing can easily adapt to your specific needs. With approximately 4 kilometers of material printed per hour, you benefit from impressive production speed and great flexibility in material choices, making it the perfect choice for product labels and flexible packaging.
In addition, compared to other printing technologies, flexo presses allow combined inline printing with multiple finishing operations in a single pass, such as lamination, metallic foil application, UV varnishing, and finally die-cutting to the desired shape and size.
Even though flexographic label printing involves the initial cost of making the printing plates and the time required for press setup and configuration, the efficiency and production speed are so high that they compensate well for these costs, making medium and large runs very cost-effective.
With one of the most robust printing capacities in the industry, flexographic technology plays an important role in Grafoprint's production portfolio. We have a fleet of state-of-the-art flexo presses operated by highly experienced technicians and continue to invest constantly in this technology.
Our printing processes are supported by in-house plate manufacturing for an integrated production chain, allowing us total control over the quality, costs, and speed of our services.
To guarantee print quality and ensure consistent and accurate color reproduction with every order, we use computerized systems and integrated spectrophotometers to detect even the smallest printing defects.
