What is a Flexographic Printing Machine?
A flexographic printing machine is an industrial system used to print on flexible materials such as adhesive tapes, plastic films, paper, and non-adhesive substrates. It uses flexible printing plates mounted on cylinders and transfers ink through an anilox roller, ensuring consistent and high-quality results.
The process is continuous: the material is unwound, treated if needed, printed, dried, slit, and rewound into finished rolls, making it ideal for packaging and branded tape production.
Why Choose a SIAT Flexographic Printing Machine?
With over 50 years of experience, SIAT has been a pioneer in flexographic printing technology for adhesive tapes, setting industry standards in quality, precision, and performance.
Bringing production in-house allows companies to reduce outsourcing, eliminate minimum order quantities, and improve responsiveness. SIAT machines ensure consistent quality, operational efficiency, and long-term reliability.
Flexographic printing becomes a strategic tool for brand differentiation, enabling customization, short runs, and faster time to market.
