What is a flexo printing machine?
A flexoprinting machine is a machine that uses soft and elastic relief plates (known as flexographic) for printing. The graphic and textual parts on the printing plate are higher than the non graphic parts, and ink is transferred through a mesh roller to imprint the graphic and textual parts onto various printing materials.
Simply say, you can imagine it as a precise, high-speed "seal". Due to its use of ink, printing plates, and wide applicability, it has become an absolute mainstay in the field of packaging printing.

The FLEXO printing machine is widely used in the field of packaging printing, and its advantages are mainly reflected in high efficiency, strong adaptability, good economy, environmental protection, and convenient operation.

The following table summarizes its main advantages for your quick understanding:
1. Efficient and flexible production: With high production speed, modern flexographic printing machines can reach speeds of up to 600 meters per minute. Supporting online processing, printing, hot stamping, indentation and other processes can be completed in one go. Version changes and settings are quick and easy, and can flexibly adapt to the trend of "small quantity and diverse" orders.
2. Significant economic benefits: The equipment itself is reasonably priced. Less ink consumption during printing can save costs. After plate making, it can be used for large-scale printing and repeat orders, with low unit cost. Narrow width models can further save printing plate and consumables costs
3. Excellent printing quality: Using independent driving and register correction technologies to ensure high-precision printing quality. Thanks to technological innovation, its printing quality can now be compared to gravure and offset printing
4. Good environmental characteristics: Environmentally friendly inks such as water-based inks are commonly used. It also performs well in energy consumption, which helps to achieve energy-saving production.
5. Wide material adaptability: able to handle a variety of printing materials, including corrugated cardboard, heavy-duty boards, and plastic films

Industry Applications and Tips
The advantages of flexo printing make it particularly suitable for certain specific fields:
1. Corrugated cardboard packaging: This is one of the most traditional and main application areas of flexographic printing, with mature equipment and technology.
2. Soft packaging printing: In the field of plastic film and other soft packaging, flexo printing is constantly expanding its market with its high quality and efficiency.
3. Folding paper box: For the production of medium and small batches of folding paper boxes, the advantages of narrow width flexographic printing machine line processing are obvious, which can effectively reduce production costs.

It should be noted that although flexographic printing has outstanding comprehensive advantages, its advantages and disadvantages compared to other processes such as gravure printing and digital printing may still need to be evaluated for some ultra high precision printing requirements. You can make the most suitable choice based on your specific production needs and budget.
