Why choose flexographic printing for napkin printing
Date: Jul 18 2024 From: Star Color
The selection of printing technology is crucial in the production process of napkins, a daily consumable. It not only affects the appearance quality and market appeal of products, but also relates to multiple aspects such as production costs, environmental friendliness, and production efficiency. Among various printing techniques, flexographic printing has gradually emerged as the mainstream choice for napkin printing.
Cost considerations
Firstly, from a cost perspective, flexographic printing has significant advantages over processes such as gravure printing. Flexographic printing equipment requires relatively small investment and occupies a moderate area, making it suitable for mass-produced products such as napkins with relatively low added value. In addition, the cost of consumables for flexographic printing is relatively low, especially the use of water-based ink, which reduces ink consumption and environmental treatment costs. In contrast, gravure printing equipment is expensive, consumable costs are high, and solvent based inks need to be used, which increases environmental processing costs and health risks. Therefore, in terms of cost control, flexographic printing has more advantages.
Environmental friendliness
With the increasingly strict environmental regulations and the strengthening of consumer environmental awareness, the environmental friendliness of printing technology has become an important consideration factor. Flexographic printing widely uses non-toxic water-based inks, which do not contain harmful solvents and have minimal impact on the environment and human health. Traditional processes such as gravure printing typically use solvent based inks, which release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during the printing process, posing potential hazards to the environment and human health. Therefore, in terms of environmental friendliness, flexographic printing is more in line with the development trend and market demand of the modern printing industry.
Printing effect and adaptability
Printing effect is one of the important indicators for evaluating the quality of printing technology. Although flexographic printing has a relatively thin ink layer, the printing quality is stable, with bright colors and rich layers. For packaging materials such as napkins, flexographic printing can already meet most printing needs. Meanwhile, flexographic printing also has good adaptability and can print almost all printed materials and use all substrates, including paper, plastic film, etc. This wide adaptability makes flexographic printing more flexible in the printing of packaging materials such as napkins.
The reasons why flexographic printing dominates in napkin printing are multifaceted. From multiple perspectives such as cost considerations, environmental requirements, demand for printing effects and adaptability, and requirements for production efficiency and flexibility, flexographic printing has performed well. With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous development of the market, flexographic printing is expected to continue to play an important role in the printing of packaging materials such as napkins.
