How to Select Flexographic and Gravure Printing Machines for Thermal Shrink Film Label Printing Companies(when you material is PETG SHIRNK FILM OR PVC SHIRNK FILM)
Как выбрать флексографские и глубокие печатные машины для компаний, печатающих этикетки на термоусадочной пленке (если ваш материал — термоусадочная пленка PETG или термоусадочная пленка PVC)
Noticias de Cratusfilm Capítulo Tres: Cómo seleccionar máquinas de impresión flexográfica y de huecograbado para empresas de impresión de etiquetas de película termoencogible (cuando su material es película termoencogible PETG o película termoencogible PVC).
- Due to its environmental protection, low cost, short cycle and wide adaptability, flexographic printing machine is widely used in corrugated carton, label, paper cup paper bag and soft packaging fields, and has gradually become the mainstream.
- Thanks to its advantages of high quality, low cost and fast speed, gravure printing machine still occupies an important position in the mass and high-demand plastic flexible packaging printing market.
In summary, with continuous technological advancements and stricter environmental regulations, high-speed flexographic printing machines have emerged as the dominant printing solution in packaging, labeling, and publishing sectors due to their efficiency and eco-friendliness. These machines are steadily eroding the market share of traditional gravure printing machines. When selecting printing equipment, businesses should comprehensively evaluate production requirements, material types, order volumes, and environmental compliance standards.
Flexographic printing is the most suitable for heat shrink film label companies.Material usually use PETG shrink film and PVC shrink film
Flexible plate printing features:
1. Low cost
Flexographic printing machines are significantly more cost-effective than gravure presses and offset presses in the same color group. Moreover, flexo presses integrate multiple processes including printing, die-cutting, and lamination into a single unit, enabling multi-step operations to be completed in one go. This eliminates the need for additional post-processing equipment, resulting in a high return on investment.
2.Simple equipment
The equipment structure is relatively simple, so it is relatively easy to operate.
3. High efficiency
Flexible plate printing uses roll material, which can not only realize double-sided printing of printing material, but also complete the work of light coating (or film coating), gold stamping, die-cutting, waste disposal and winding. It greatly shortens the production cycle, saves manpower, material and financial resources, reduces production costs and improves economic benefits.
4.Widespread coverage
The range of printing materials is quite wide, such as paper, plastic film(PETG Shrink film ), aluminum foil, adhesive paper and so on.
5.Good quality
The quality of printed matter is good, the printing accuracy can reach 150 lines/inch, and the printed matter has rich layers, bright colors and good visual effect, which is especially suitable for packaging printing requirements.
6.Environmental protection
Using a new type of water-based ink and solvent-based ink, this kind of ink is non-toxic and non-polluting, which not only fully meets the requirements of green environmental protection, but also meets the needs of food packaging.
7.Good benefits
Flexographic printing machines utilize roll-fed materials and can be seamlessly integrated with post-printing equipment, significantly reducing production cycles. Flexographic printing costs only 10% to 20% of gravure printing, with ink consumption reduced by one-third and energy savings of 40%. The defect rate is merely 1% to 2%, lower than gravure and offset printing, thereby lowering overall production costs.
