HD Flexographic Printing

Customised Flexographic Print Solutions

Abbey Labels are one of the few High Definition ESKO approved label printers in the UK.

Your high-volume orders are hassle free with flexographic printing, enabling efficient production of up to eight colours and a varnish in just one pass, creating a cost-effective solution when large quantities of labels are required. 

Our capabilities ensure a vibrant and detailed output for your brand. Our flexographic and digital print can be used in combination to harness the benefits of both technologies. 

This fully rotary operation is very competitive for higher volume orders and is suitable for printing on a wide range of substrates including papers, synthetics and some non-adhesive materials. Once print plates have been made, orders can be produced quickly as all colours are applied in just one pass. 

With HD flexographic printing, the screen rulings for flexo printing can be increased, while at the same time reducing the size of the smallest printable dot. This is achieved using a special screening technology and the higher imaging resolutions, resulting in sharper images, smoother tints and a greater colour gamut.
