The Power of Proliferation

Moving forward with flexo

With its sights firmly set on ascending to new heights in production efficiency, it’s no surprise that Exopack’s printing operations favor the flexographic process. Exopack offers both flexo (10-color) and gravure (8-color) printing services, but its press lineup reveals both the company’s current production focus and its likely production future—the company runs approximately 50 flexo presses and just four gravure presses across its facilities. “Overall, flexo provides better speed-to-market, which is critical in the market today, in general, and with [SKU] proliferation,” Welter observes, adding, “Flexo has made tremendous strides to improve quality and efficiency over the past decade or so.”
