Design and graphic prepress for flexo and gravure printing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In the packaging production process, print quality does not begin at the press\u2014it begins in the file. Our role as a partner in design and prepress is to ensure that every visual idea is translated into a technically functional, print-precise, and aesthetically flawless result. Especially when it comes to flexo<\/strong> and gravure (rotogravure)<\/strong> printing, understanding the specifics of these technologies is crucial.<\/p>\n

Gravure printing (rotogravure) \u2014 for high-volume and extremely precise packaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Rotogravure printing, as implemented at Tipoplastika on the BOBST RS6003C HS press, is the industry standard for large runs of premium-quality packaging. The technology itself requires that every design be perfectly adapted for engraving the printing cylinders.<\/p>\n

Design and prepress specifics for gravure printing:<\/h4>\n
    \n
  • Color rasterization<\/strong> must be carefully controlled, as ink is applied from engraved cells\u2014gradients must be stable, without unwanted transitions.<\/li>\n
  • Minimum line thickness<\/strong> and font size require special attention\u2014due to the cylinder structure and engraving depth.<\/li>\n
  • Colors are separated physically<\/strong> (not digital print), so precise separation and work with Pantone or CMYK systems with real application values is necessary.<\/li>\n
  • Layout and assembly<\/strong> must be prepared with precise register\u2014since the press is equipped with systems like TAPS and REGISTRON, requiring flawless technical files for automated inspection.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    At our facility, every file for gravure printing undergoes thorough checking, optimization for deep engraving<\/strong>, and simulation of the final look on the target substrate\u2014whether it\u2019s PET, OPA, AL, laminate, or multilayer film.<\/p>\n

    Flexo printing \u2014 speed, flexibility, and high reproducibility<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Flexo printing, carried out at Tipoplastika on the BOBST 20SIX press, enables fast processing of various flexible substrates, from monofilms to complex laminates. The key difference compared to gravure is the use of photopolymer plates<\/strong>, which require a different approach to graphic prepress.<\/p>\n

    Design and prepress specifics for flexo printing:<\/h4>\n
      \n
    • Dot gain<\/strong> must be considered\u2014fine lines and light gradients require special treatment to prevent \u201cfilling in\u201d on the print.<\/li>\n
    • Reverse text and thin white letters<\/strong> must be adapted to the plate thickness and substrate type\u2014since flexo printing pressure is transferred directly to an elastic surface.<\/li>\n
    • Use of flat colors<\/strong> and overprint varnishes must be carefully balanced for uniform ink coverage.<\/li>\n
    • Color registration<\/strong> is digitally controlled by the GPS system, allowing fine calibration\u2014but only if files are technically flawless.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Our team uses software solutions such as Esko<\/strong>, Adobe Creative Suite<\/strong>, and working profiles specific to each substrate type and print run, ensuring every design is optimal for production and clear in shelf communication.<\/p>\n

      At Tipoplastika, design is not just a visual decision; it\u2019s an engineering and technological process that ensures every creative idea is consistently and precisely transferred to packaging. Our job is to make your ideas work flawlessly in production, look great on the shelf, and save time and money in printing.<\/p>\n

      That\u2019s why clients don\u2019t just bring us files\u2014they bring us their trust.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":24878,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[705],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-24842","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-packaging-printing-and-technologies","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"taxable","11":"shipping-taxable","12":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipoplastika.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/24842","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipoplastika.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipoplastika.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipoplastika.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24842"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipoplastika.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tipoplastika.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24842"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipoplastika.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=24842"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipoplastika.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=24842"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tipoplastika.rs\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=24842"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
