What is Flexographic Printing?
Flexography is a well-known method of printing that uses rotary in-line features. Flexographic printing allows printers to print on flexible materials like paper, plastic, cellophane, metallic film, and more.
Flexography Uses
Flexographic printing, or flexo, became prevalent in the early 1900s. The original use of flexographic printing was almost entirely for food packaging. Today, about 60% of the packaging industry uses flexographic printing.

“As our work on the Holiday campaign comes full circle, those of us from the Saran Team are more than appreciative of all the work you and your colleagues have done at Red Oak Label to help us with the Saran Cling Plus Holiday program this year. Without the diligent work of colleagues like you, the Holiday effort would have been unable to meet our enormous rework hurdles. Unfortunately, those of us in Racine have not been able to shake your hand personally, but we hope that in due time, such a meeting will come to pass. Best wishes to your team in the months to come, and you can count on SCJ ‘s continued business when future label needs arise.”
