Prospects for the Flexo Market in Asia (II)

There has been no documentation on flexo in Thai, which has become a major obstacle to education and training. Although several companies have also introduced resin platesetters, there is a lack of suitable color separation technology for flexography. Therefore, a flexo course was established at the university.
4, China Taiwan. Taiwan's flexographic presses are exported to mainland China and other parts of Asia. In addition, due to its low price, it has been exported to countries such as Europe and the United States.
With the popularization and development of flexographic technology after 1995, the first flexible printing plate exhibition was held in 1998 with the assistance of European and American flexo printing companies. Moreover, in order to promote the development of flexo printing technology in Taiwan, technical exchanges have been conducted between powerful companies.
For example, Gen Hon Corporation has established a flexo printing center in Taiwan to meet the high quality requirements for print products in Taiwan, and introduced system technology and popularization of flexo printing equipment. The company received technical support from Europe and the United States and provided Taiwan with a large resin version for the first time. At the same time, a program for training color separation was prepared to face the market, and an educational institution was established to popularize suitable color separation technology in corrugated cartons and flexo printing of flexible packaging.
The company is committed to providing digital plate making, such as digital sleeves, especially for the first time in Taiwan focusing on high-quality printing plates, and promoting the plate-making business to the direction of environmental protection (washing solvents).
5, Singapore and Malaysia. At the center of South East Asia, Singapore often hosts exhibitions and seminars on flexo printing. In other parts of Asia, such meetings are regularly held. Many companies related to flexo printing are exhibiting. The holding of these exhibitions is also a window to the Chinese market. Many flexo-related products are exported to China through middlemen.
In 1996, a five-nation flexo platemaking technology center was established in Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur). Responsible for education and printing technology related to flexo printing and quality management of printed materials. In addition, several companies are also dedicated to research on color separation techniques for flexo printing and flexo platemaking, and have started to provide flexographic art and technical support services to China and neighboring countries.
Third, the application of flexo printing in the Japanese market Today, offset and gravure has been widely used in various fields, and flexo printing is also the same as the use of liquid ink and gravure, and printing is also very similar, but the traditional concept has always believed that The flexo image quality is very low. Therefore, in order to improve the print quality of flexo printing, in the process of using processing machinery for bag making and bag making processes and printing corrugated paper, the improvement of flexographic quality is spreading as one step.
Today, the flexographic market in Japan has begun to take shape. Its basis is the printing system introduced from Europe and the United States. It has been applied in corrugated cartons (post-printing), Shopping Bags, bag making, milk containers, etc. In recent years, pre-printing of corrugated boxes has been printed, a considerable part of the flexible packaging, and the flexographic printing has been re-transferred to the "nappiness" package. The label printing market was once occupied by flexo printing, but it has not yet been popularized for various reasons.
Japan's gravure plate printing costs are much lower than those of Europe and the United States, which is why the formation of the Japanese flexo printing market is much less than Europe and the United States. In addition, the use of film packaging materials for high-performance, high-quality printing of packaging materials has always maintained excellent quality, printing, bag making system has been widely popular. On the contrary, few companies and users are willing to turn their attention to the flexographic imprints whose production technology is still immature and needs further development.
However, we should see that due to the rapid changes in the printing industry environment in recent years, the possibility of its development is high as a small batch, multi-category, and flexo printing that meets environmental requirements. Japan, like Europe and the United States, has become the key to the success of the flexo printing market by infiltrating the flexible packaging field and the carton paper container market.
1, for corrugated box printing. In the field of corrugated paper printing, letterpress printing using pasty oily inks has been used in the past. However, after using flexographic printing with excellent drying properties and easy handling, printing with aqueous ink becomes mainstream.
In corrugated paper printing, there is a growing demand for improvements in the effects and strength of fine arts. To cope with this trend, hydrophobic corrugated cardboard and corrugated board with various functions are increasing. Since the surfaces of these substrates are not all smooth, a preprinting system (for beer boxes, etc.), which first performs rotary flexography directly on the liner and then performs corrugating, has been popularized. This method is suitable for mass production. In single-sheet corrugated paper (post-printing) that accounts for more than 70% of the market, it requires small-volume printing. In addition, since corrugated paper printing uses water-based ink, how to solve the problem of reduced operating efficiency in cold weather conditions has become an urgent problem to be solved in the development of flexographic printing technology.
Recently, corrugated paper is becoming more diverse. The smoothness of the surface of the base paper is improved, and as the corrugated paper is thinner (F section 0.75 mm, G section 0.55 mm), it becomes easy to beautify (clear the picture) on it, and the printing of the rear printing pad is easy. Quality has improved at all levels. The use of paper containers and corrugated boxes has widened, and competition with traditional offset printing is fierce.
2, for bag printing. The history of flexo printing on kraft paper bags has a certain history. Most of the printing presses are machines directly attached to the bag making machine. Among them, the use of 2-3-color simple design styles is predominant, but in recent years, it is also moving toward multicolorization.
In the past, popular dye-based alcohol-based inks with vivid shades of pigments have been used. Nowadays, the use of pigment-based water-based inks in flexo printing has become common practice and hygiene.
When printing high-end shopping bags, people proposed the “excellent physical geology of outlets” and “excellent image quality.” At this time, flexo printing should focus on appearance quality.
Since the 1980s, in the bag making industry, the introduction of high-precision multi-color CI flexographic printing presses began. The reason why this machine was introduced is because of the increasing demand for double-sided simultaneous printing on PE hoses and plastic films. At present, about 30 high-performance printers have been installed throughout Japan. (To be continued)
