Flexographic Printing from packadvance's blog

Flexographic printing sleeves manufactured in the round ITR allow for a seamless, continuous print on various substrates.You need both efficiency and quality. In most industries, those two production results don’t often come in the same combination. However, ITR sleeves, especially those composed of elastomer blends, bring both speed and accuracy needed for perfect, repeatable prints.While we’re looking forward to educational sessions on flexo printing processes and networking, take the time to educate yourself on a choice you’ll have to make - gravure cylinders.

Consider the variables in your printing project. Do you have a job requiring shorter runs and frequently changing images for instance, product labels with special promotions? Then a photopolymer sleeve may be best. Do you have a job requiring laying an adhesive on a continuous foil substrate? Then an elastomer blend sleeve may work better.Engravings range from security print cylinders with engraved text thats so small its not visible to the naked eye to large embossing rollers with bold designs and deep engravings. Industry demand has led to the development of many processes in design and origination.

With our new laser technology we are now able to manufacture flexographic sleeves and cylinders on numerous types of compounds with a range of screen counts, text and line weights that were unachievable few years ago. Our laser engraved (In The Round) sleeves and cylinders provide you with trouble free cost-effective print runs without the inconvenience of plate lift and press downtime.The laser will traverse across the cylinder vaporising unwanted areas of rubber, leaving an engraved high definition replication of the artwork sent - gravure printing cylinder.

The flexographic industry is evolving, and across the industry,  Our firm specializes in automatic flexographic plate mounting technology, as well as overall automation in prepress. The latest innovation by our company is the featuring complete robotization of the prepress department from automatic taping to mounting flexographic plates onto sleeves with no operator interference and zero waste.  For more information, please visit our site https://packadvance.com/
