In 2015 the United States flexo market trend research report

The United States NPES institutions PRIMIR released its latest research report "American flexo market trends".The purpose of this study was to provide the latest overview and interpret today's printing market, and brands (buyer) packaging, printing, processors and technology trend in the future how to influence flexo market movements in the United States.

Study thoroughly examines the flexo development impetus and obstacles, as well as in pre-press, printing, supplies, ink and printing substrates and other aspects of technological progress.Study focused on the corrugated carton, tags label, folding carton, applied to food, beverage, pharmaceutical and industrial purposes (including pesticides) flexo market segments such as flexible packaging.Report also investigated how flexo and digital printing, offset printing, gravure competition, in what fields, as well as competition.

In the packaging market segment, folding carton is replaced by the flexible packaging and corrugated carton.Flexible packaging because of its convenience and barrier property consumer's favor, and corrugated carton when a large number of procurement is more sensible.Fine folding carton is the perfume, cosmetics, electronic products and the application of special food has led to the growth of the folding carton.

According to the study found that the growth trend of flexo printing is: the length of a single (single) in print and printing substrates flexibility on diversity, flexo advantage more than offset and gravure.And digital printing and continue to be popular, mainly because the market more competitive in a short list.To prepare for the future competition from digital printing, flexo printing industry must improve the quality of printing on the ultimate goal of continuous innovation.One example is the flat top node plate, under the premise of improving the quality of the printing quality, because the improvement of the plate to print rate and reduce the cost.By reducing the fixed costs, flexo will continue to be more competitive than digital printing.

The study also revealed the market demand is gradually reduce the use of solvent-based inks and glazing oil.However, water-based ink and gloss oil printing quality, especially water-based printing flexible packaging, has not yet reached brands (buyer) packaging acceptable level.

The report pointed out that any to be able to use that may be lower cost than solvent-based inks and glazing oil, can improve the quality of printing technology progress at the same time, can obtain market recognition and acceptance.

Finally, although the digital and flexo printing position in the in a short list to compete, but it also provides integrated combination of potential opportunities of printing.Printing equipment can work attachment, provides further satisfy from brands flexo printing requirements of packaging (buyer).
