Peace Products has Flexographic Printing Capabilities
Malvern, PA, March 16, 2009 - Peace Products has the capability of printing on just about all of your flexible packaging material. From roll stock to completed bags, we can give your product the protection and visibility it deserves.
Our Flexographic presses are capable of producing good quality impressions on many different substrates and is the least expensive and simplest of the printing processes used for decorating and packaging printing.
Packaging flexography is used for the production of plastic film, bags, and courier envelopes. Large quantities of inks are used during normal runs on flexographic presses; however, some printers are able to recycle a majority of their spent inks and wash waters.
Flexography is a form of rotary web letterpress, combining features of both letterpress and rotogravure printing, using relief plates comprised of flexible rubber or photopolymer plates and fast drying, low viscosity solvent, water-based or UV curable inks fed from an "anilox" or two roller inking system. The flexible (rubber or photopolymer) plates are mounted onto the printing cylinder with double-faced adhesive.
Central impression cylinder (CIC), like the common impression rotary letterpress, use a single impression cylinder mounted in the press frame. Six to ten color printing stations surround the central impression cylinder. Each station consists of an ink pan, fountain roller, anilox roll, doctor blade, and plate cylinder. As the web enters the press it comes into contact with the impression cylinder and remains in contact until it leaves the press. The result is precise registration which allows CIC presses to produce very good color impressions. CIC presses are used extensively for printing flexible films.
We at Peace Products can print up to 10 colors on a 48" web width. Our presses are suited for both long and small runs allowing our customers the flexibility of promoting their entire product line.
