Flexographic Label Printing

Super fast and efficient high-volume label printing for any substrate.

The Industry Standard for High-Volume Labels

Flexographic Label Printing (commonly referred to as flexo) is a super fast and efficient method typically used for high-volume applications. This form of printing utilizes a flexible relief plate. A flexible printing plate is used to transfer ink to printable substrates in a high-speed rotary process.

Flexo can be used for printing on almost any type of substrate, including plastic, metallic films, foils, boards, cellophane, and, in most of our uses, paper. You'll likely see flexographic product labels on any type of product, making it a great solution for any company.

Since 1989, M&R Label has been using flexo presses to print millions of labels for many applications across industries. Fun fact: these presses can achieve speeds of 500 to 2000 feet per minute!

Advantages of Flexographic Label Printing

Lower cost of consumables.
Ability to produce solid colors on many different substrates.
Ideally suited for longer runs as press speeds are typically between 180 and 320 feet per minute, resulting in a lower price per label for you.
Flexographic printing equipment can be eco-friendly. For example, the use of water-based inks minimizes the environmental impact and reduces the level of toxins that are released into the air.

Flexo vs. Digital Printing

While flexographic printing is ideal for high-volume runs, digital printing may be a better choice for smaller quantities with no plate costs. Our team can help you determine which method is best for your project.
