Flexo printing is one of the fastest growing print techniques today. It is present in a wide variety of industries and especially in food, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Big companies all around the world have, in their technological parks, big flexo printing machines with a large number of printing units. Such machines are able to print on large (wide) rolls of various printing materials (most common of which are self-adhesive paper, paper, various foils etc.). The problem in this case is when it is needed to print a small circulation using a smaller number colors. The solution to this problem lies in so called "small" flexo printing machines which possess a slightly different configuration. Such machines enable the print of smaller circulations with a few colors. This paper examines the economic profitability of "small" flexo printing machines in comparison to "big" ones taking into consideration the print of smaller circulations with just a few colors. |
