Flexographic Printing

Today, everything is about flexibility, and the eFlex takes the demands of combining quality, speed, and control in its stride. If you require a state of the art printing press that promises crystal-clear graphic quality at the touch of a button, read on.

Many organisations are curious about finding cost-effective ways to increase their productivity. There are often multiple choices on the table, with each one proclaiming itself to offer the best ROI. The decisions can be complex, but what is not in doubt is that investment in equipment is directly linked to productivity. Equipment investment can unlock time and expand possibilities. It can improve the quality of a product, raising its profile and value.

Everybody knows that research and development is at the heart of a successful organisation. That is certainly true of Focus, which is one of the reasons that we are the proud sponsors of the 2018 Flexo Tech International Print and Innovations Awards.

Here at Focus, we’re absolutely dedicated to innovation. It’s one of the reasons that we’re sponsors of the 2018 Flexo Tech Innovations Awards, and is also one of the reasons that we pursue partnerships with some of the most dynamic tech firms in the world. In one of our most exciting recent developments, we’ve teamed up with Phoseon, a US-based UV LED manufacturing company. The result has revolutionised flexography. Here’s an introduction to the future.

We live in a landscape augmented with transposed colour. Whether for labels, or fabrics, or posters, or logos, printing has become a central communication enabler in our society. As such, more companies than ever before are learning that continuous printing is not only useful, but central to their needs. And the competition is tightening.

By 2022, the global label industry is forecast to be worth £35.4 billion, and flexography as a whole over £106 billion. Although digital and hybrid machining is now an important part of this market, it is relatively small & flexographic printing machines will remain at the heart of the industry. This is partly because flexographic machines have a long service life, and the majority run lengths are still high volume for our consumer & retail markets.

In recent decades, the digital age has had a large influence on the printing industry and instrumental in improving & regulating industry standards. From management software controlling stock, quoting jobs, Production control to graphics production there has never been a more exciting time for the industry. What was only available to large corporations is now within the realms of most small to medium size companies.

A printing press is an important investment. It’s not a time for false economy, and nor is it a time for settling for something that’s not a perfect match for your needs.

Whatever press type you have we would recommend you always purchase original parts or seek approved technical support. This might not be possible if you have imported a machine or it is an older model no longer in production or supported.

At Focus Labels, we take a very pragmatic approach to a client’s relationship with their flexo-press. We’re engineers who have designed, built, and maintained our machines, and who are committed to keeping them in excellent working order.

You may have come across our Flexo Label Printing Machines and wondered whether the costs could be justified by the benefits it would bring to your business. Maybe you’re currently printing on Digital Inkjet machines and struggling to compete with prices from companies producing large print runs at a lower cost, or you might have a used flexo label printing machine and be wondering if it’s worth the cost to upgrade.
