What Is Flexo Printing?

Flexographic printing is a modern high-speed printing process, which is commonly used to print high volumes of labels and packaging. It provides fast, cost-effective, and high-quality label printing for various mass-produced goods.

Flexo printing can quickly print labels and packaging rolls of various materials without sacrificing quality, making it an ideal printing method for different industries such as food, beverage, and consumer goods.

Its material flexibility makes it widely used in more and more products, including self-adhesive labels, cutting and stacking labels, food packaging, plastic bags, etc.

Advantages of flexographic printing:

Running at extremely high speed, ideal for long-time printing
Printing on various printing materials
High-quality output to ensure the quality of finished products
No additional work and cost: printing, glazing, laminating, and die cutting can be completed at one time
Low equipment and maintenance costs

Flexographic printing has become the most preferred printing method for companies in such demanding industries as food and beverage, cosmetics, and consumer goods.

IUV's UV Benefits for Flexo Printing

Suitable for different printing materials – IUV systems can be used for printing on almost all types of flexographic printing materials, which bring added value and increase product diversity through coated and uncoated paper, plastics, and foil laminates.

Higher working efficiency – instant ink can quickly dry out on printing materials. Printed paper can be cut, folded, bound, and processed immediately, greatly reducing the ongoing work and thus shortening lead times.

No marking, no sealer or spray powder – No spray powder, zero widespread contamination, easy to clean and maintain.

Best printing quality with accurate details and color fidelity – The IUV UV curing systems help achieve brighter colors and higher quality finished products.

IUV's UV LED Benefits for Flexo Printing

The complete and easy-to-integrate curing system is specially designed for packaging and label printing machines.

LED module technology with series-parallel mode greatly reduces the necrosis rate and failure rate of LED lamps.

Remote performance monitoring and troubleshooting of all Internet-connected lamps ensure the stability of global IUV equipment operation.

The instant on and off of the LED means that no energy is consumed when the press is idle. LED UV lamps are more energy-saving than traditional UV lamps so you can greatly reduce printing costs by 70%.

For Flexo Printing

IUV provides three main solutions for flexo printing presses, depending on whether you require

a UV LED, mercury arc curing system, or LED and mercury interchangeable system.

You can learn more about these three options below:

UV LED Curing System

IUV’s LED curing system products are developed by our research and development department. The chips of LED are imported from South Korea and have good stability.

UV Mercury Lamp Curing System

IUV's mercury curing system is a long-established UV light of mature technology for the printing industry.

UV LED & Lamp Exchanging Curing System

IUV's UV LED & mercury exchanging system allows you to freely switch between LED and UV Lamp, to meet the different needs of customers for curing.

About IUV's Flexo Printing Customer Cases

In recent years, printing companies' commercial printing work has grown exponentially, and there are more than 3000 installation cases of IUV LED UV curing systems around the world. The number is still growing.

LED UV curing systems are particularly ideal for flexo printing presses due to their potential energy savings and other environmental benefits. Power usage is a key factor and energy savings can be achieved in production lines, which obviously reduces the running costs.

One of our clients said：“By installing the IUV LED curing system, we have saved about $38,000 a year on average just in terms of power consumption.”

Now with all the efficiencies and the economics of the IUV LED UV, there will be more IUV LED UV users and beneficiaries.
