Alternative offers you two printing methods for your labels!
Here is a short explanation of the two technologies available from us:
Flexography is a printing technique widely used in the packaging world and particularly present in the field of self-adhesive labels.
You want to know more?
A little history, the word flexography comes from the Greek « Flexos » which means flexible and « graphein » which means to write therefore « flexible writing ». This printing process consists of transferring a visual onto a material chosen in the manner of an ink pad. This technique was born in 1952. At that time the printer form was a rubber plate. Around 1970 the rubber plate was replaced by polymer plates.
The advantages of flexography:
- To print self-adhesive labels at more economical costs than on digital presses for
medium and large print runs. - To obtain more precise coloring results (For example if you want to obtain a precise
Pantone color). - To use ecological inks & varnishes.
- To use glossy or matt UV varnishes or both in combination.
