Extending Label Footprints

Finishing presents a different set of considerations. Virtually all of the operations required to produce an extended text construction—multi-color printing; lamination of multiple webs; folding, glue, or adhesive application; adhesive deadening, web turnover, overlaminating, and diecutting—take place in a single pass through a flexographic press. Most finishing operations are typically accomplished on a conventional tabletop or slitter-type inspection/rewind machine.
