Specification guide
Choosing the right option
Modern flexography can deliver strong branded graphics directly onto corrugated liners and packaging substrates. It is particularly efficient for recurring orders and practical transit packs.
Artwork should account for line weight, registration, screen values and the surface texture of the board. Simpler spot-colour designs often produce the strongest result.
