Since it was first used, flexography has gone through significant
advances. The process has improved much that it is now extensively used in color printing on
different substrates.
Initially, flexography is
called aniline printing since aniline dye inks were used in the process.
However, the Food and Drug Administration
classified aniline as suitable for food packaging in the 1940w. This resulted
in the decline in sales of printing. In 1949, new and safe inks were used in aniline printing but despite the
change sales continued to decline. This brought about the need to rename the
process. After a poll conducted by Mosstype Corporation, the winning name was
flexographic process.
Improvements in flexography
continue until today. It’s not impossible that we’ll see great advancements in
the near future. It’s impossible not to come in contact with a flexographic
printed product in a day since most materials today are created through this
process. This includes plastic bags, foil, labels, envelopes, gift wrapping
paper, and many others.
