What is Flexographic Printing?

The Flexographic Process

We attach a flexible printing plate (like a stamp) onto double-sided tape on a rotary print cylinder, one per colour. The plate spins in the press, coming in contact with an anilox roller which transfers ink to the plate. The plate then comes in contact with the material immediately afterwards and prints the image, and then spins back around to the anilox again.

With some exceptions, after printing a laminate or varnish is applied for protection, followed by diecutting and waste removal.

The roll of material then comes off the press and is taken to a rewinder machine where they're slit down (if needed) and rewound into the customer-specified roll sizes.
