With the increasing development of packaging, various printing methods are also in the process of development. The packaging requirements of countries around the world have also undergone some changes. In addition to a single consideration of cost, they also consider environmental issues, especially some food packaging. Flexographic printing is the most environmentally friendly printing method among various printing methods. Domestic flexo printing is also growing, but it is still in the development stage. In this development process, various manufacturers are also accumulating experience. However, since offset printing and gravure printing have had a long period of development in China, most people use the standard of offset printing or gravure printing as the standard in the subconscious, and use such a standard to view samples of other printing methods. Each printing method has its own unique features: offset printing advantage: Disadvantages: Gravure 　　 advantage: Disadvantages: Flexo printing is a kind of printing between the two. Its ink layer is thicker than offset printing, and its registration accuracy is higher than that of gravure printing. Flexo printing features: ■Environmental printing ■High color saturation ■Stable printing quality ■Flexible combination printing ■Screen printing ■Offset printing ■Gravure printing ■Hot stamping and die-cutting unit processing to finished product We all know that in a package, if you want to get good results, then basically you need a good printing plate. A good printing plate is the basis for printing a good product; what are the conditions for a good printing plate? For the flexo version, the following points are needed: l Suitable for flexographic printing design l Reasonable process arrangement l Separation l Platemaking level A packaging printing effect is good or bad, because its own design is suitable for what kind of printing Design attention elements:
â– High accuracy of print registration, multi-color overlay for spot color patterns or texts â– Dot expansion is small, gradient is too soft
â– Thin ink on the ground â– Unstable quality â– Insufficient range of printable materials â– Insufficient processing capability on the line
â– The gravure printing can be used together with the graded version of the network cable. It can be used in engraving the depth of the printing plate to make the field and the cable obtain better results in printing.
â– Gravure solid ink thickness â– Pattern can be seamless
â– Unstable quality â– Insufficient range of printable materials â– Poor processing capability
â– Printing method â– Imposition â– Material direction
Flexo from design, from plate
