Choosing the right printing technique can feel like navigating a maze of complexity. Offset, gravure, digital, flexo… Each technique comes with its own benefits, limitations, and ideal use cases. The challenge is finding the technique that delivers quality, efficiency, and flexibility across materials and volumes.

Flexo was seen in the past as the “functional” choice. But you know what? Flexo printing has evolved incredibly. It now competes head-to-head with other premium printing methods, both in quality and versatility.

What Makes Flexo Printing Stand Out?

Flexographic printing has always been known for its speed and efficiency. But today, it’s so much more than a high-volume workhorse. Thanks to innovations in printing technology and plate development, flexo now delivers:

• High-quality results that rival offset and gravure
• Compatibility with a wide range of substrates—from paper and foil to corrugated cardboard and labels
• Lower waste and optimized ink use, making it more sustainable and cost-efficient

Do you have a packaging project that spans various materials and formats? Then, flexo printing provides unmatched adaptability.

The Steurs Advantage: Pushing Flexo Printing Further

At Steurs, we’ve embraced the full potential of flexo printing. Our flexo plates are crafted with the highest level of precision, ensuring that even the most complex designs come through crisp and clear.

S-Dot Technology

Our proprietary S-Dot system brings ink transfer to the next level. S-Dot minimises dot gain, sharpens print detail, and reduces ink waste. The result: your print looks better and performs smarter.

Why Flexo Printing Might Be Your Best Move

If you’ve ruled out flexo printing in the past because of quality concerns, it’s time to take another look. The technology has caught up, and in many cases, surged ahead.

Combine that with its flexibility and cost-efficiency, and flexo printing becomes an attractive option for packaging across industries.
