GCM 800 - Tags, Labels and Bags: Flexo Processes

Prerequisites: GCM 220
Flexography is a highly versatile printing process widely used in packaging applications and ideally suited for printing on many different substrates. In this advanced course, process requirements for narrow web, wide web and corrugated applications are covered in detail. Flexographic specifications and tolerances such as FIRST are studied. Advanced flexographic applications, including in-line finishing and converting processes, are explored in prepress, press, and simulation environments. Quality measurement and production efficiency are themes throughout.
