Unpacking the Future
Let’s get real: the boxes we’ve known and loved are getting a modern makeover. Say goodbye to the corrugated standard and hello to the dynamo of packaging—flexographic printing. Why? Because it’s lean, mean, and a green machine. Here’s the 411 on why flexo’s the future, and why your business should care.
Corrugated Boxes: The Old Guard
The “Square Peg in a Round Hole” Problem
Corrugated boxes are like that one-size-fits-all shirt—kinda useful but not a perfect fit. This lack of customization leads to wasted material and, let’s face it, they’re not winning any beauty contests.
The Energy Hog
More layers, more problems. Creating these boxes chews up a lot of energy, leaving a sizable carbon footprint in its wake.

Picasso-Level Customization
Flexographic printing is like the gourmet chef of the packaging world. Intricate designs? Rich color schemes? It can whip it all up while making it look easy.
The Need for Speed

Let’s Talk Trash
Or rather, let’s talk about less of it. Flexo uses exactly what it needs, cutting down on waste.
Recycle, Rinse, Repeat
Water-based inks and recyclable substrates make flexo a champion of the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.
Quality Over Quantity
Consistency is key, and flexo delivers, reducing the need for do-overs and wastage.
