Pioneers of Flexo Platemaking

We’ve been involved in flexographic platemaking since the dawn of flexography in Japan.

With a total of over 130 years in printing platemaking – over 50 years in resin platemaking specifically – we have a deep knowledge of flexographic and resin plates. We also have over 30 years of experience in pre-process graphics and data processing. 

All that is to say, we have accomplished many feats of flexographic platemaking as an expert partner in a variety of fields; such as corrugated, paper bags, flexible packaging, labels, and even inline coating for offset.

No matter what size plate you need, from microfabricated 1 cm² plates to 120 cm╳200 cm wide web plates, we can support you! If thickness is your concern, whether it’s 0.5 mm ultra-thin or 9 mm ultra-thick, you can count on us!

The Global Status of Flexographic Packaging

Flexo printed packaging is experiencing rapid growth in North America and Europe, with 60-70% of all packaging now being flexo printed. In Germany and the U.S. that number climbs even higher to 80% and 70% respectively while Japan is currently at 4%…

Let’s look at some of the reasons behind this shift.
