The hottest flexo printing market in Asia

Asian flexographic printing market

in recent years, European and American flexographic printing related industries have greatly assisted the Asian region. At the same time, they have also introduced flexographic printing technology to the vast Asia. 1. In the environment of low room temperature and relative humidity, China has developed the market. In the future, this trend will be further developed and will affect the Japanese market. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the trend of the Japanese market. Among the products produced in the Far East and Southeast Asia, its packaging materials are printed by flexographic printing and exported to Japan. The following is a brief introduction from several aspects

1. Printing quality. Under the influence of Japan, the printing quality of the high-end talent team with thousands of new materials in eastern Asia is constantly improving. Nowadays, the view that flexo printing quality is not high is gradually away from us. That is to say, although gravure printing was the mainstream of printing on plastic film in the past, now, with the introduction of the latest flexographic printing machines produced in Europe and the United States and the rapid development of resin plates, ceramic rollers, sleeves, inks, etc. necessary to improve the quality of flexographic printing, flexographic printing is also developing by leaps and bounds in recent years, reducing the weight

2. Printing materials and infrastructure. When gravure printing is used on flexible polyethylene (PE) plastic film for high-quality printing, the maximum speed is m/min. when CI flexographic printing machine is used for printing, even if the printing speed is more than 300 m/min, the registration accuracy can be ensured. Therefore, for those in Asia who seek high-quality printing and are required to be able to print on all plastic films, 1 For printers whose structural framework is enough for printing, flexographic printing has certain advantages

in Asia, the infrastructure of flexographic printing system has been established, and at the same time, high-quality printing plates and inks have been supplied. At present, we are committed to supplying flexographic printing plates that are much cheaper than gravure printing plates

3. Cheap flexographic printing machines and labor costs. In Asia, flexographic printing machines produced in Hong Kong and Taiwan have been listed, which are much cheaper than intaglio printing machines produced in Europe and the United States

on the other hand, in Asia, simple packaging machines that rely on semi-automatic or manual operation are still used for the packaging of PE plastic films, while in flexo printing, CI flexographic printing machine is required to print cylindrical plastic films on both sides at the same time. This virtually reduces labor costs

4. Circulation market. With the development of supermarkets, packaging also tends to develop in the direction of small batch and short delivery time. In addition, the design style of packaging is also changed frequently, and in Asia, flexo printing has begun to realize that it can adapt to this development trend (short delivery period)

in recent 10 years, in some large supermarkets in Asia, polyethylene (PE) plastic film has been widely used to pack daily necessities, frozen food, salad and other products. As an ideal packaging method, polypropylene (PP) plastic film has been used in the packaging of food and pasta products. Especially in Malaysia, polyethylene (PE) plastic film packaging has been used in the packaging of sliced bread, which is also a driving force for the development of flexo printing to high quality
