Flexo for Short Runs

A process history

Flexo's firm modern-day foothold in GENflex's service offering began taking root more than 20 years ago. GENflex, a division of Atlanta's General Paper Goods Company (founded in 1932), began seeing high-growth momentum in the '80s, which prompted a 1991 move to a doubly-sized facility and, shortly thereafter, a steady succession of press technology upgrades. The company, which concentrates its converting operations on pressure-sensitive labels and wrap-around flex-pack applications, first added Mark Andy 8-color and 6-color UV flexo presses in 1995. Five years later, it purchased a Gallus multi-platform UV flexo/rotary screen press to facilitate exploration of additional market avenues. To support continuing growth, a third 6-color Mark Andy press joined the GENflex fleet in 2004.
