Flexo printing - the best choice for carton printing

The flexographic printing linkage processing production line has been increasingly used in folding carton processing and has become the most rapid development of a printing processing method, bringing great impetus to the development of the carton processing industry.

Only the carton that has been die-cut, discarded, and formed has the actual packaging and transport properties, and it can be regarded as a truly practical package. There are still many factors that restrict the processing efficiency of the carton processing plant. For example, the use of a single sheet feed or web feed, circular round die cutting or flat flat die cutting, in-line die cutting or offline die cutting Cutting and so on, have a direct impact on the entire plant's production capacity, corporate interests and ability to serve customers.

In the carton processing industry, the market share that still occupies a large part of the market is still the single-sheet paper-fed, multi-machine offset printing and flat die-cutting cutting processes. The process flow is:

Paper Roll - Sheetfed - Pause - Printing - Pause - Flush - Pause - Die-cut - Pause - Waste - Finishing the carton

Sheet-fed paperboard processors must take two approaches if they want to lead in the competition: First, in the case of existing equipment, to achieve the highest possible speed of production; Second, to achieve low-cost production of large-scale processing, Such as a variety of different specifications of the carton together for processing.

High equipment investment costs, time-consuming conversion of India and the United States, and the difficulty of managing multiple sets of processing equipment at the same time, especially the difference in speed matching between printing and post-press processing, are continuously reducing sheet-fed offset printing and die-cutting die-cutting. The proportion of carton processing.

A typical flexographic printing process is where the web material directly enters the printing section and the finished product is output from the other end. The process flow is:

Paper Roll - Printing + Die Cutting - Finishing the Carton

This production method reduces capital investment, die-cutting consumption and labor input, and shortens the delivery time of finished products to customers. After realizing this difference, considering the processing time limit, the following results can be obtained: Offset printing processing requires 5 sets of printing equipment, while flexographic printing processing requires only one set of printing equipment; Offset printing requires 6 processes, while soft The printing process only requires two processes; the offset process requires 10 to 12 workers, while the flexo process requires only 2-3 workers, and the process quality is obvious.
