What is Flexographic Printing for Boxes?
Flexographic or ‘flexo’ print, as it is commonly known, is a high-volume printing process used here at The Box Factory when printing onto corrugated boxes.
It's similar to ‘potato printing’. A print stereo picks up ink from a roller which is then applied to the printing surface (box).
A flexible printing stereo is wrapped around a rotating cylinder for each colour. The graphics and text are raised from the surface of the plate, with only the raised areas of the plate being inked.
