Flexography is often the most economic print option, and it can be used on a variety of materials, both coated and uncoated. There’s a wide range of quality in flexographic printing, depending on equipment, press operators, and tooling. It is best for printing designs that don’t have small text, fine details, or photos.
Flexography is ideal for flood coated color, printing logos and text, and high contrast graphics. Colors can be matched to Pantone and GCMI swatches. Process printing (CMYK) is also possible with flexography, but for designs with fine details or photographs, you may get better results with lithography for high volumes (over 10,000 units) or digital for low volumes (under 1,000 units).
