Flexographic Printing

Flexography (often abbreviated to flexo) is a rotary printing process utilizing flexible relief plates and pressure to create an image. Each plate, made of engineered photopolymer, is adhered to a cylinder and inked by an engraved transfer or anilox roll. The substrate is passed between the plate cylinder and the impression cylinder to achieve ink transfer. As the plate cylinder rotates, an impression cyl­inder applies pressure to the substrate, causing it to make contact with the inked relief of the plate.
