Flexographic Printing:
A Sustainable Solution.
Flexographic (flexo) printing plays a vital role in advancing sustainability within the industry.
As one of the most cost-effective and efficient printing methods, flexo offers numerous advantages that can help businesses showcase their commitment to eco-friendly practices.
Maximising Efficiency, Minimising Impact: The Benefits of Flexo Printing
Flexographic printing offers a range of environmental benefits, from efficient ink usage to lower energy consumption. Discover how this sustainable printing method reduces waste, cuts down on harmful emissions, and helps businesses embrace eco-friendly practices.
Efficient Use of Ink.
Flexographic printing uses ink more efficiently than traditional methods, applying only a thin layer. This reduces ink waste and prevents excess ink from polluting the environment. With minimal waste, flexo ensures less ink ends up in landfills, where it could potentially seep into the soil and harm local ecosystems.
Eco-Friendly Water-Based Inks.
One of the major benefits of flexo printing is the option to use water-based inks. Unlike solvent-based inks, water-based inks release fewer volatile organic compounds (VOCs), reducing air pollution. When used on labels you can recycle or compost them.
Lower Energy Consumption.
Flexographic printing has embraced advanced technologies like LED UV curing, which uses significantly less energy than conventional drying systems. Reduced energy consumption helps reduce our environmental footprint by decreasing reliance on electricity generated from fossil fuels.
Recyclable Backing Paper.
Our recyclable backing paper service ensures that your used label liners are properly collected and recycled, helping to reduce waste and support sustainable practices. By offering an efficient and eco-friendly solution, we make it easy for your business to contribute to a circular economy.
