Flexography is a direct printing technology based on the use of elastic, usually photopolymer, clichés. The cliché is attached to the printing roller, and the ink is applied by an anilox cylinder, which precisely doses the required amount of pigment. This technology allows for a stable ink layer and ensures a high-quality image even at high printing speeds.

Flexographic printing has the following characteristics:

• Versatility – can be printed on paper, cardboard, films, laminated or metallized surfaces.

• High speed – suitable for large runs when productivity is important.

• Precision – anilox cylinders ensure uniform ink distribution.

• Cost-effectiveness – lower production costs compared to offset printing, especially in the production of packaging and labels.

Due to these properties, flexography is one of the main technologies used in the packaging industry, where a reliable, fast and adaptable printing method is required.
