Printing Tactics

The widely used printing technology utilizes flexible relief plates rather than solid ones. The printing process is compatible with most packaging, including stand-up pouches and plastic.

Digital Printing

This printing method is a laser or inkjet-based technique that allows digital-based images or graphics directly printed on the substrate. The process eliminates lots of steps for traditional printing methods and makes the process faster. Additionally, it also reduces the inventory requirements & Production waste by eliminating the need for labels and cardboard inserts.    


Rotogravure

Known as gravure, this print technique utilizes a rotatory print technique. The method first requires the engravement of graphics onto a cylinder, plate, or any other substance, and then transferred to the final substrate. Printing technique is widely used for industrial applications in commercial printing of newspapers, magazines, and stand-up pouches, etc. as it’s not limited to it.          


Lithography

The oil-based printing method used for artistic applications in printing. Although it’s not used popularly for printing flexible packaging but commonly used for label printing. These labels are later applied to flexible packs for institutional purposes like shipping.
