Flexographic Printing Flexographic
printing is the major process used to print packaging materials. Flexo
printing presses are used to print corrugated containers, folding
cartons, sacks, paper and plastic bags, labels, adhesive tapes,
envelopes and wrappers. Flexographic printing is the most effective and
flexible form of label and tag printing. All our commercial flexo
printing presses are narrow web inline flexo presses by Mark Andy,
