Plate Pack
Plate Pack covers the basics that affect print before the press starts: photopolymer thickness, relief depth, backing film and storage. For South African packaging work, plate choice often shifts between corrugated, film and paper jobs, so durometer, highlight hold and solvent resistance need checking against the ink system and the repeat on press.
Anilox Kit
Anilox Kit focuses on cell volume, line screen, engraving condition and how each roll matches the plate and ink set. On SA packaging presses, a BCM choice that suits solid laydown can still overload small type, so teams usually check volume, viscosity and drying behaviour together before a long run.
Ink Set
A practical guide to ink sets on South African packaging floors, written for teams already running flexo jobs.
Substrate Roll
A practical guide to substrate rolls on South African packaging floors, for crews dealing with press setup and print consistency.
Mounting Tape
Mounting Tape affects dot support, bounce and impression stability more than many changeovers allow for. Different foam densities suit different work, from cleaner solids on kraft and liner to tighter control on flexible packaging, and storage matters where coastal humidity starts changing adhesion and release.
Doctor Blade
Doctor Blade setup shapes ink transfer every shift through blade thickness, bevel, holder condition and chamber sealing. Stainless and coated options wear differently with white inks, metallics and abrasive pigments, so press crews watch streaking, score lines and excess blade pressure before faults spread across the web.
Press paths
Floor paths that match the week
On this desk page, flexo terms stay tied to the work itself: plates, inks, substrates, and the press path that has to hold up through a real production week. Built for South African packaging teams.
Ink notes
Recent notes
First Photo
Get the first plate, print fault, or ink issue photographed early so the next shift is not guessing at the same problem.
Cut Off Habits
Set firm cut-off habits for plates, inks, and consumables so packing deadlines do not spill into the first hour of press.
Coastal Care
Coastal storage needs tighter control on inks, tapes, and plates where humidity starts affecting print quality.
Highveld Dust
Highveld dust reaches aniloxes, plates, and bearings quickly, so cleaning routines matter before defects reach the reel.
Power Windows
Use stable power windows for exposure units, mounting tables, and press start-up checks to avoid wasted setup time.
Courier Notes
Courier notes should list job name, substrate, colour references, and plant contact so urgent flexo items land at the right floor.
