Offset printing is mainly used for printing of paper-based materials. Sheetfed offset presses can be printed in different formats and are more flexible. At present, the printing format of most web offset presses is fixed. Its applications are limited. With the development of technology, the web offset printing press is also continuously improved. Web offset presses that can change the printing format have now been developed. At the same time, we developed a web offset press for seamless cylinders. The printing cylinder of this web offset printing machine is seamless, and in this respect is already the same as the web gravure printing machine. Offset presses are also constantly improving in printing functions. Corrugated cardboard can be printed by improving and adding some parts. By improving and adding a UV drying device, UV prints can be printed. The above improvements continuously expand the use of offset printing machines in the field of packaging printing. Water-based inks for offset printing will soon enter practical applications. Here offset printing is another step.
Box with flexo

The main advantages of flexo printing are:
1. Simple equipment structure, easy to form production line. Among the three major printing equipment of offset printing, gravure and flexo printing, the flexo printing machine is the simplest in structure. Therefore, the price of flexographic printing machines is relatively low, and the investment in printing equipment is small. At the same time, because the equipment is simple, it is easy to use and operate, and it is easy to maintain. At present, most of the flexographic printing machines are connected with processing technologies such as soup gold, varnishing, cutting, slitting, die cutting, creasing, punching, and windowing to form a production line. Greatly improve labor productivity.
2. Wide range of applications and substrates. Flexo printing can print almost all prints and use all substrates. Corrugated paper printing in packaging printing is unique here.

3. Widely use water-based ink. Of the three major printing methods of offset printing, gravure printing and flexo printing, only flexo printing currently widely uses water-based inks. Non-toxic and pollution-free, it is good for protecting the environment, especially suitable for packaging and printing.

4. Lower cost. The low cost of flexo printing has reached widespread consensus abroad.
Box gravure
Gravure printing, the ink color is full and has a three-dimensional impression. Among various printing methods, the printing quality is the best. And the printing quality is stable. Long plate life. Suitable for mass printing. Gravure can print extremely thin materials, such as plastic films. However, gravure plates are complicated and expensive, and their benzene-containing inks pollute the environment. These two issues have affected the development of gravure. In particular, the reduction of a large number of large prints, and the short version also requires a large increase in low-cost prints, causing gravure to continue to lose market.
