  1. Printing Guide for Flexible Packaging Today, flexible packaging has become the lifeline of the food and beverage industry  being used in various forms including stand­up or lay­down pouches, sealable zip­ lock pouches and so on. Flexible packaging has made the handling of perishable  products easier than ever, drastically reducing the chances of spoilage and  enhancing their shelf life. Its benefits do not limit to the functional values but  rather extend to adding an aesthetic appeal to the packed product. Competing in a  customer­centric market, brands need to ensure that their design ticks multiple  checkboxes including factors like user­friendliness, brand identification, quality and so on. This not only requires choosing the right packaging material but also the  right printing process. Scroll down to know more about the printing processes for  flexible packaging. PRINTING RECOMMENDATION 1. Flexography A widely used printing technology, flexography technique employs a flexible  plate rather than a solid one. It is compatible with flexible packaging  including plastics and stand­up pouches. Flexography printing brings your  text, graphic and images to life when used on such non­porous materials.

  2. 2. Digital Printing An inkjet­based print method, this technique allows images and graphics to  be printed directly on the substrate. It enables the printing of dynamic and  variable content to target a dynamic audience. It also makes the process  faster, inventory requirement lower and reduces waste production by  eliminating the need for cardboard inserts or labels. 3. Rotogravure Utilizing a rotatory print technique, Rotogravure is a method that first  requires the engravement of graphics onto a cylinder, plate or any other  substance. It is then transferred to the final substrate. It’s widely used for  industrial applications (however not limited to it) in commercial printing of  stand­up pouches, newspapers, magazines, etc. 4. Lithography Lithography is an oil­based method of printing which is used for artistic  applications in the print industry. Although suitable, it’s not popularly used  for printing of flexible packaging materials but rather used commonly for  label printing. These labels are later applied to these flexible packs for  institutional purposes like shipping. Conclusion The printing technique that one decides to use depends on multiple factors like  budget, design, images, and graphics. We at Cosmo Films, being a trusted partner  in innovation, make sure that your number of options to choose from does not face  the limitation of an incompatible material substrate. Thus, our experts have crafted a range of premium flexible packaging films that are suitable with multiple printing methods. These films are available in variants like transparent, metalized,  pearlized, opaque and more so that you can design your product in a user­friendly  manner that reflects the essence of your brand.
