Freshly printed labels for freshly baked muffins

 

Hot off the Etiquette presses this morning are these labels for Muffin Master Baker and Confectioners. These labels were printed using the latest in UV ink technology on our state of the art flexographic printing presses that are able to print up to ten colours on any label. You may wonder how the printing process works. Well there are 5 key steps in the flexographic printing process.

  1. Rotary relief plates are made from a soft rubber material and attached around a cylinder which mounted to the press
  2. Each colour used in the printing process needs its own plate. For example if you have a 6 colour label, then 6 printing plates will be used in the process.
  3. An anilox roller applies a specific amount of ink to the plate. The anilox roller has thousands of tiny cells across its surface. It is in these holes the ink is transferred from the ink unit to the printing plate.
  4. A doctor roll or blade removes excess ink from the anilox surface so just the right amount of ink is transferred to the surface.
  5. Finally an impression roller, keeps the substrate pressed firmly against the flexographic plate whist the image is formed.
