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.
