"Flexo"
printing is the most common label printing method. Solvent, water
and UV inks are available. Low cost plastic plates are used to transfer
the ink to the base film. Many flexo presses allow the label manufacturer
to print, laminate and die-cut the label in line and this makes flexography
suitable for longer runs of labels. Most flexo labels are sold in
a roll form. Examples of flexo labels include labels on detergent,
toothpaste and certain RTK labels and paper tags. Typically, Flexo
printing is not used when either large areas of solid color are needed
nor if the label must last outdoors.
