Why CI Flexo Dominates Food Packaging
Flexographic printing accounts for over 60% of all flexible food packaging globally. CI presses with gearless servo drives deliver the combination of speed (up to 400 m/min), quality (±0.1mm register), and food-safe ink compatibility that brand owners demand.
CI vs Stack Flexo
CI Flexo: Single central drum ensures precise registration on thin extensible films. Recommended for BOPP, PET, PE pouches, FFS films. Stack Flexo: Better for paper/board, multi-substrate jobs at lower speeds.
Key Specifications
Printing width: 800–1050mm covers most food packaging applications. 8 colors enable Extended Color Gamut printing. Gearless drive is essential for production speeds above 200 m/min.
Ink System for Food Safety
Water-based inks reduce VOC by 95% and comply with FDA/EU 10/2011. UV inks provide instant curing and excellent lamination adhesion. LISHG hot-air inter-deck drying is engineered specifically for high-speed water-based printing.
