National Flexible Introduces Gravure Quality Flexo To UK Market

Dr Organics were the first to benefit from the new approach with a new look for their premium brand of soap bars.

1/14/2011 --- National Flexible have become the very first in the UK packaging industry to take advantage of a ground-breaking advance in printing technology.

National Flexible worked on the project in conjunction with partners Kodak and Reproflex 3. Using Kodak's innovative Flexcel NX technology which, when used alongside their Digicap screening process, enhances the quality of image reproduction to such an extent that it allows flexo plates to reproduce detail to the same standard as that of gravure cylinders.

Dr Organics were the first to benefit from the new approach with a new look for their premium brand of soap bars. Pioneered by Kodak, the Flexcel NX system not only allows for true 1:1 image reproduction, improved fine detail, excellent ink transfer and stronger colour density - but it also offers long-term cost savings versus conventional printing.
