With the emphasis on environmental protection issues in China, flexographic printing technology, which is known as the “preferred technology for environmentally friendly printing”, is now becoming a hot technology in the domestic printing industry. However, regarding flexographic printing technology, we also want to make a simple discussion with the industry colleagues from the following aspects.


Since the printing process of flexographic printing is very environmentally friendly, there is no residual organic solvent on the final printed product. Therefore, flexographic printing is more suitable for products that are in direct contact with people, are not demanding in terms of printing quality, and are not sensitive to cost requirements. Such as food packaging, pharmaceutical packaging, etc.


In addition, the cost of flexographic printing is relatively high. Now the sales price of 3.94mm domestic flexographic printing plate per square meter will not be lower than 500 yuan, which is equivalent to 20~25 times of offset PS version, which is equivalent to thermal CTP version. 15 to 20 times the material. The flexographic plate is made into a printable veneer in the plate making center, and the price needs to be increased by at least 60%. At the same time, the printing quality and stability of flexographic printing are also difficult to achieve the level of offset printing, which is also a business that needs to be seriously considered.


Third, with the rapid development of digital printing technology, especially inkjet digital printing technology, various traditional printing technologies will be affected, and flexographic printing is no exception.


If the printing and packaging enterprises do not have a large-scale packaging and printing business, the risk of blindly printing the technology is huge. Here, I suggest that those companies that are ready to apply for flexographic printing must think twice before moving on.
