Tomorrow is Right Around the Corner

One of the most significant advantages of sleeve technology is that it allows flexographers to print continuous images. This creates a great opportunity for flexo in the flexible packaging arena. Flexo can now seriously compete with gravure for printing snack foods, pouches, and frozen food bags that typically have continuous images and only require a single cut prior to packing and sealing. For the same reasons, we also expect to see economic benefits in the wet glue, cut-n-stack label arena.
