Flexography printing is a widely-used printing technique. One of Flexography’s major uses is to print packaging materials. The flexography printing technique is used to print on a variety of materials used for packaging including corrugated cardboard boxes, folding cartons, multi-wall sacks, paper bags, plastic bags and more.

Flexography is also used to print on materials including plastic, paper and more. The flexography printing process & technique uses flexible printing plates that are made of rubber or plastic. The plates are inked with a slightly raised image or they are rotated on a cylinder which rolls over the materials to be printed on and transfers the image to the substrate. A “substrate” is a fancy term for something that is acted upon.

Flexoprinting has a large number of applications in the packaging industry. Sometimes it is used by other industries for premiums and other high quality packaging types.
