Flexo is becoming a fashion of label printing

Flexo is a novel rotary letterpress printing. In recent twenty years, with the ceaseless progress of printing science and technology, flexo is to open up new application fields. It has evolved from the simple, rough printing way into a kind of printing with high quality, low cost, environmental protection and with the highest growth.

Currently, flexo is the main label printing way in the United States, which accounting for about 90%. In addition, the main label printing In the European market is the letterpress and flexo printing mode, more and more labels printing enterprises began to use a narrow range of UV flexo printing machine to print adhesive label; shrink sleeve label printing is also gradually shifted from gravure to flexo printing; In contrast, the Asia-Pacific market printing way is lag behind, it still use letterpress for self-adhesive label printing, the vast majority of the shrink sleeve label still use the gravure printing process. On the Chinese label market printing mode, letterpress is dominates, flexo ranked second, and there are great proportion gap between them. At present, there are not many label printing enterprises use flexo printing machine professional printing labels. But with the rapid growth of demand in China label market, as well as the improvement voice of environmental protection, the advantages of "green, efficient, digital" of flexo was embodied and beginning to receive attention. In the second session of the China International Printing Technology Exhibition (PrintChina2011) and the fourth session of China International Printing Exhibition (AllinPrintChina2011), we see the label printing machine with "low speed, low output, employment" intermittent convex printing number has been considerably less than in previous years on professional printing exhibition, while the flexo printing machine is to display and exhibit extraordinary vitality, it suggesting that the speed of label printing choose flexography process is faster.

Nowadays, there are more and more domestic enterprises begin to pay close attention to flexo label printing technology, and some large enterprises using the flexo printing way to meet their specific business needs, for example, in order to achieve the requirements of EU RoHS standard for heavy metal residues detection, export electronic products label almost all use of flexo printing technology, at the same time, owing to enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, some labels printing enterprises are using the flexo printing technology to print high-end labels.

Flexo printing can used water-based ink and UV ink. From a global perspective, UV flexo printing technology is one branch alone beautiful in recent years and obtained great development. Because of UV flexo ink color is very close to UV letterpress inks and the structure of flexo printing machine is simple than the convex printing machines, many foreign enterprises have used UV flexo label printing instead of UV embossed. At present, UV flexo printing has accounted for more than 60% of the share in the American label market; although the UV flexo printing technology popularization degree in the European label market is inferior to the United States, its UV curing (including cold UV curing device) technology is a global leader. In China label market, with many famous brand beer enterprises required change wet glue labels into transparent film label, as well as the rise demand of mold label in some cosmetics, cleaning supplies business, more and more enterprises begin to choose UV flexo label printing form to printing label.
