It is a printing technique that uses rotary in-line features to transfer ink and images to a flexible substrate. This allows printers to print on a wider variety of materials, including plastic, cellophane, metallic film and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flexo printing was at first used mainly for food packaging, but new advancements have made it a great choice for many other applications. It is now increasingly used in the packaging industry for corrugated package printing, labels, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a class=\"imagegallery\" href=\"https:\/\/www.protapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flexo-printing-is-a-printing-technique-that-uses-rotary-in-line-features-to-transfer-ink-and-images-to-a-flexible-substrate.jpg\" rel=\"imagegallery4932\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.protapes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Flexo-printing-is-a-printing-technique-that-uses-rotary-in-line-features-to-transfer-ink-and-images-to-a-flexible-substrate.jpg\" alt=\"Flexo printing is a printing technique that uses rotary in-line features to transfer ink and images to a flexible substrate\" class=\"wp-image-4948\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is Plate Mounting Tape?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plate mounting tape is a double-sided adhesive tape, comprised of either foam or hard vinyl.
