What is flexography and what is it used for?

Flexography is a rotary printing system that uses a flexible plate to transfer ink onto a wide range of materials. Its main advantage is a low unit cost for medium and long print runs, thanks to its speed, precision and production efficiency.

Flexography adhesive label printing

Flexography printing of adhesive labels for products involves a technique in which ink is transferred through flexographic printing plates to imprint the adhesive labels. This process is one of the most notable in the industry today, due to its great capacity for obtaining outstanding results in an efficient and economical way.  

Above all, this method is designed for medium and long production runs with a capacity for up to 8 different colours. Allows printing on the reverse, with different finishes such as laminating, cold stamping, printing on the adhesive, etc.   

Flexography product labels

Flexography product labels have become popular in many different types of industry over recent years. For example, food, cosmetics, oils, and even hygiene product, cleaning, household and chemical product companies have started to implement this labelling technique, as this method allows results with high quality and clarity for showing product information to be achieved.

When to choose flexography

Flexographic printing is the best option when you need consistent quality, fast production and a competitive price for high-volume orders. At Adhesivas IBI, we use this technology when a project requires large print runs and professional label finishes that must remain consistent from the first label to the last.

This technique allows us to print on different materials, including paper, films and thermal substrates, with maximum agility. It can integrate spot colours, halftones and technical finishes without compromising productivity.

Flexography is especially recommended when you need resistant labels, variable data, complex designs or added-value finishes, without requiring major investment. It also helps reduce setup times and ensures high-speed production with consistent quality.

For short print runs, see our digital printing service.

Versatility

Flexography allows us to print on a wide variety of substrates, from self-adhesive papers to plastic films and thermal materials. This adaptability makes it an effective solution for multiple sectors, including food, cosmetics, chemicals, logistics and industrial applications, without changing processes or sacrificing quality.

Finishes

With this technique, we can apply varnishes, embossing, stamping or laminates accurately and at high speed. Flexographic finishes add both visual and functional value to each label without slowing down production, reducing costs and improving the presentation of the final product.

Volume

The larger the print run, the lower the cost per unit. Flexography allows us to optimise production for large projects, as the printing plates are quickly amortised and consistent quality can be maintained throughout the run. It is ideal for recurring orders, large-scale production or multiple references with the same format.

FAQs about
flexography

Flexography is the most cost-effective technique from 5,000 units onwards. By amortising the cost of the printing plate over long runs, the price per label drops significantly compared to digital printing. At Adhesivas Ibi, we recommend it for recurring orders, high-volume production and fixed designs that require consistent quality.
We print on self-adhesive paper, including coated, kraft and thermal papers; plastic films such as polypropylene, polyethylene and polyester; and materials suitable for food contact. Flexography adapts to both rigid and flexible substrates without losing production speed, making it ideal for the food, cosmetics, chemical, logistics and industrial sectors.
Flexography supports varnishes, embossing, hot stamping and laminates applied at high speed and with great precision. These finishes add both visual and functional value — protection, resistance and shelf differentiation — without slowing down production or increasing the cost of long print runs. It is ideal for premium labels produced in high volumes.
Yes. Flexography uses spot inks mixed according to Pantone references, ensuring accurate and consistent colour reproduction throughout the entire print run. This is a key advantage over digital printing, which approximates colour using ICC profiles, especially for brands with strict colour identity guidelines.
The average delivery time at Adhesivas Ibi for a flexographic print run is 10 to 15 working days from proof approval. The setup time for the printing plates is amortised over high volumes, where the very high printing speed results in a very low cost per unit.
Yes, provided that the substrates and inks are certified for indirect food contact in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1935/2004 and Regulation (EU) No 10/2011. At Adhesivas Ibi, we work with FCM-certified materials and inks, and we issue a declaration of compliance for labels intended for food products.
