The benefits of flexographic labels
Flexographic labels can be less durable than digital or screen-printing products. However, they offer a number of other advantages. First and foremost, these labels are generally more economical and are better suited for consumable applications. Flexographic printing is also ideal for high-volume projects because it uses a roll to-roll process compared to other sheet-fed printing processes. Flexographic labels are a good choice for four-color processes and can accommodate spot colors as well. These products are also ideally suited for variable data printing such as barcodes and sequential numbering. If you’re looking to create economic labels that are well-suited for high volume production while providing complete customization options, flexographic labels may be the answer.
