Intense, glossy shades for medium and long runs.
HD Flexography
Flexography is the perfect printing technique for designs that require bright, strong colours in medium and long runs from 15,000 m2 upwards at high print speed.
We are able to achieve high print quality thanks to our systems which use the latest technology on the market to ensure the highest quality flexographic work.
How does flexography work?
The flexography printing process uses a relief printing plate to create the print areas. It is a rotational technique that transfers the image directly to the material, and its high flexibility and adaptability means any flexible material can be used, including plastics, films, paper bags and cardboard.
Although HD flexography produces high-quality printing, this technique presents certain difficulties when it comes to defining details. Text in the negative should be avoided when using the CMYK colour model. Very fine text should also be avoided in multiple screenings.
