01 Packaging Properties

Flexographic printing is used in a large number of packaging design and decoration products, whether for post-printing or pre-printing of corrugated cartons / paper boxes / paper bags / paper cups / napkins / tray paper, breathable films with simple designs, beautifully printed flexible packaging films / Tetra Pak / label stickers, or varnish coating used to enhance the aesthetics of products, etc., all have the figure of flexographic printing. Flexographic printing has the advantages of high efficiency, stable color, low scrap rate and green environment, which is very suitable for the latest market demand for packaging, and flexographic printing with packaging attributes will usher in a broad development opportunity.

02 Technical Properties

Flexographic printing has outstanding technical attributes in the processes and procedures of pre-press, plate making and printing.

The goal of prepress has always been to allow printing to achieve brighter and smoother highlights, higher field printing color density and less dot stuffing, while flexographic printing’s flat-top dot technology increases the personalization, flexibility and complexity of prepress. At the same time, prepress personnel create unlimited possibilities for flexographic prepress work and activities through color management, full understanding of customer needs and knowledge of flexographic production conditions and situations. Therefore, the prepress process of flexographic printing has extremely strong technical properties and must be an organic unity of software, personnel experience and printing conditions. Prepress technical means are always pushing the boundaries, highlighting the prepress technical features of flexographic printing.

03 Environmental Attributes

Environmental protection is one of the basic national policies of China. Green environmental protection advocates source substitution, process control and end-of-pipe treatment with equal emphasis. Source substitution is in the first place and is an effective environmental protection initiative, changing the original mechanism that favors end-of-pipe treatment. In the future, the environmental advantages of flexographic printing will continue to be highlighted and play.

Green environmental protection is not finished, only in progress. Flexographic printing is continuing to develop and innovate more low-carbon and energy-saving new technologies and products, its environmental characteristics of the attributes will become more and more deeply rooted.

Therefore, both packaging, technology and environmental attributes of flexographic printing, still will be and will be long-term steady progress, the future can be expected!
