Offset Printing
Offset printing is a commonly used technique in which the inked image is transferred (or “offset”) from a plate to a rubber blanket, then to the printing surface. Common printing process for paper and paperboard.
Flexographic Printing
Flexography (often abbreviated to flexo) is a printing process which utilizes a flexible relief plate. It can be used for printing on almost any type of substrate including plastic, metallic films, cellophane, and paper.
Digital Printing
Digital printing refers to methods of printing from a digital-based image directly to a variety of media. It allows for on-demand printing, short turnaround time, and even a modification of the image (variable data) used for each impression, such as sequential numbering. Typically utilized for small print runs.
Rotogravure Printing
Rotogravure (roto or gravure for short) is a type of printing process, which involves engraving the image onto an image carrier. In gravure printing, the image is engraved onto a cylinder because, like offset printing and flexography, it uses a rotary printing press. Gravure is beneficial for long print runs, as the engraved cylinders have an extended print life use.
