Flexographic Printing

Flexo printing Flexographic Printing Plate Flexographic (flexo) printing is a cost-efficient method for medium to large volume runs on various paper and film substrates for direct mail, industrial, product identification, medical, pharmaceutical and cosmetic labels. Our flexo printing capability includes web widths up to 17", 10-colors, multiple die cutting stations, water-based, UV, and metallic inks.

How Flexographic Printing Works

Flexographic printing uses flexible polymer printing plates wrapped around rotating cylinders on a web press to transfer ink. The inked plates have a slightly raised image and are mounted onto plate cylinders. These plates are then loaded onto the flexographic press, with each required color positioned in successive print stations. As each roller rotates, the plate collects ink from the ink roller, also known as an anilox, which transfers the inked image onto the substrate. The wet ink then passes through a dryer before the next color is printed. This printing style is equipped for mass production.
