Flexo Printing
Flexo Printing is a printing technique that involves using flexible printing plates to transfer ink onto corrugated board. Flexo Printing is widely used in the packaging industry to produce cost-effective packaging solutions. The printing plates used in Flexo Printing are called rubber stereos, which are raised imaged polymers.
Litho Laminate Carton
A Litho Laminate Carton is a type of packaging solution that combines the strength and durability of corrugated board with the visual appeal and high-quality finishes of lithographic printing techniques. This manufacturing process involves printing high-resolution graphics onto a laminate surface, which is then applied to the corrugated board, resulting in a superior packaging solution that offers both durability and aesthetic appeal. Litho Laminated Cartons are widely used in various industries, including food and beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals, to package and promote their products in a visually appealing and effective way.
