Gravure printing is an engraved-cylinder printing process ideal for high-quality images, long production runs, and premium packaging films. It offers excellent color depth, sharp gradients, and consistent quality, but has higher cylinder cost and is best suited for large-volume orders.
Flexo printing uses flexible polymer plates and is known for fast setup, lower cost, and versatility. It works well on paper, film, labels, corrugated boxes, and supports short to medium runs with good color accuracy and quick changeovers.
Difference Overview
- Image Quality: Gravure = superior; Flexo = very good
- Setup Cost: Gravure = high; Flexo = low
- Best For: Gravure = long runs; Flexo = short/medium runs
- Materials: Both print on films, laminates, paper, foil
- Speed: Both are high-speed, but Flexo offers faster plate changeovers
Which to Choose?
- Choose Gravure for premium packaging, large quantities, deep colors.
