And how does the process work

This is a direct printing system (since the plate directly transfers the ink to the support) and mainly rotary (with rollers and material in reels of different sizes) in which flexible plates with high reliefs and a structure consisting mainly of rollers are used.

The word flexography comes from the Latin word “Flexus”, which means folded. The main advantage of flexographic printing is the ability to print on different substrates. When using this technique, flexible irons are used. Also known as cliché, which due to the high quality, are made of photopolymer, a durable material that allows finishes with greater detail. Rubber or rubber sheets are also used to make, for example, classic tampons.

Water-based inks currently used in flexography dry quickly by evaporation and are reliable in use for all types of coatings that come into direct contact with the product.

In other types of inks such as UV (ultraviolet), their polymerizations with lamps are also accepted for many products, but low-migration inks are required in food products. Currently, to save energy consumption and avoid ozone emission, UV LED inks are being implemented, which give very good results
