Label Printing

In the packaging industry, the label printing sector is probably the one that has the highest demands in many ways: in the number of printing technologies used, the number of substrates to print on, the level of sophistication in both colours and embellishing techniques, not to mention the finishing aspects. Today, label printing customers all over the world use Agfa Graphics' preproduction and short and medium run digital printing solutions.

Flexible Package Printing

Printing the incredible diversity of flexible packages is really the playing field of flexo and gravure printing. Over the last couple of years, not only the flexo print technology has gained considerable ground in comparison with gravure, mainly in terms of print quality and reliability in higher print runs, but digital printing as well is gaining ground as run lengths drop. From best-in-class matt film for flexo plate production all the way to a "digital flexo press" including all the necessary workflow software and consulting knowledge, Agfa Graphics' portfolio serves thousands of customers.

Folding Carton Printing

Traditionally, the folding carton industry typically relies on offset printing, although for some applications flexo is used. For short and medium runs, digital solutions are economically attractive too. This is the arena with often special requirements in terms of CTP solutions, the latest plate production technology, design improvement, step & repeat software, colour conversion, and screening. Agfa Graphics' latest offerings play on all these requirements.

Corrugated Packaging

Achieving higher quality in corrugated boxes is not an easy thing. You can either preprint the liner board in full colour offset before laminating it with the required flute structure. Or you can apply the latest XM -Cross modulation screening technology that actually provides higher colour quality and image detail than ever before while printing directly on the finished corrugated substrates. Whichever way you go, Agfa Graphics has expertise and can help you with preproduction solutions. Or even with the latest developments in terms of digital printing.

Pressroom Supplies

Agfa Graphics has a lifelong tradition of chemical and printing development. Combining this knowledge leads to a range of products especially developed for use with Agfa plate technologies.

The pressroom supplies product range is tuned to and extensively tested on Agfa plates and therefore the best product range to be used in combination with our plates.
