Flexography
Flexography printing is frequently used for printing on
plastic, foil, acetate film, brown paper, and other materials used in
packaging; flexography uses flexible printing plates made of rubber or plastic.
The inked plates with a slightly raised image are rotated on a cylinder which
transfers the image to the substrate. Flexography uses fast-drying inks, is a
high-speed print process, can print on many types of absorbent and
non-absorbent materials, and can print continuous patterns (such as for
gift wrap and wallpaper).
Also known as flexographic printing or flexo, some typical
applications for flexography are paper and plastic bags, milk cartons,
disposable cups, and candy bar wrappers. Flexographic printing may also be used
for envelopes, labels, and newspapers.
