Flexographic press (flexo press) machines are widely used in the converting industry for printing on a variety of different materials including plastic, foil, films, paper, laminates, metallised materials, and other materials used in packaging. Typical products include retail and shopping bags, food and hygiene bags, sacks, flexible films, and self-adhesive labels. The process involves polymer plates fixed to a sleeve or cylinder, and uses solvent and/or water-based inks to enable faster drying, faster production, and lower costs. Flexo press machines produce large rolls of material that are then slit down to their finished size on slitter rewinder machines.
Manufacturers include Bobst, Fischer & Krecke, F&K, Windmoeller & Hoelscher, W&H, Comexi, Heaford, Uteco, Schiavi, and PCMC.
