PRINTING ON FLEXIBLE PACKAGING

A print solution integrated within the packing line

Direct printing on flexible plastic film is very widespread in the food processing industry (pasta, chips, frozen products, etc.), in the hardware sector (nails, screws, bolts, etc.), for certain cosmetics (samples of cream and other liquids) and pharmaceutical products (personalised doses of medicines).

Printers designed for printing directly onto packaging films are integrated within the packing line and certain models are able to meet the requirements of high-throughput applications, operating at speeds of up to 1 meter per second.

Quality printing for durable information

Thermal Transfer offers maximum flexibility for customising packaging: alpha-numeric characters, logos and barcodes all have a good visual finish for easier reading. To avoid an expiry date or barcode being erased, a Thermal Transfer ribbon must be selected that offers resistance to the constraints of the packaging process and utilisation of the product: abrasion, handling, foodstuffs, chemicals, etc.

CISON ribbons for flexible packaging films

The cison ribbons designed for printing on flexible packaging offer a solution to the demands of durability, print speed and cost.

The Wax-Resin inks for near-edge printers offer the best combination of print quality, speed and cost, while the Resin inks are the best suited to demanding applications in terms of durability.

CISON inks are also available in white, metallic and various colors for printing on coloured packaging films.

CISON ribbons enable producers to comply with European regulations (1935/2004/EC) and US FDA requirements.
