Flexographic Printing

This printing process uses raised image printing plates made from photo-polymer or rubber, transferring ink from the plate to the substrate. This process is also called surface printing. Often abbreviated as "Flexo".

Tail-end or in-line printing: Best utilized for economical reproduction of simple 1-3 colors, no overall tints. It is normally printed in-line, before the bag is formed. This is the most economical printing method on a traditional roll to roll shopping bag

Pre-Printing: System is used for more complex detailed printing - including 4 color process, 120 line screen and up to 8 Colors. Pre-printing is usually done on a central impression press and not during the bag manufacturing process.
