What Is The Difference Between CI Flexo And Stack Flexo?

CI flexo printing (Central Impression, flexo printing for short) and stack flexo printing are the two main manifestations of the flexo printing method. There are significant differences between the two in design concepts, actual use, and their unique attributes. Here we compare and contrast the differences between these two flexo printing techniques in detail:
1. Characteristics of its structural properties
CI's flexible printed currency
In CI flexo printing machines, when we say "CI", it is actually a simplified representation of the words "Central Impression", which symbolizes the central impression process.
The function of the central printing cylinder is to ensure the stability of the position of the materials throughout the printing process and to fix them in the middle of the printing.
The printing platform is located around a larger pressing cylinder and uses multiple printing elements to precisely control the position of the rotating items in the core cylinder, which ensures high precision and robustness of its operation.
Layered and fine printing technology
Although the design of stacking flexo printing machines is basically not very complex, it allows stacking work at the printing component level, thereby increasing the variety and flexibility of printing effects.
The overlay flexo printing machine has the ability to print a variety of different materials. Not only is the printing accuracy extremely high, but the printing process is also extremely fast.
2. Applicable environment and place
CI's flexible printed currency
In view of the high-quality printing, efficient work efficiency and stable printing performance brought by this technology, it has been widely adopted and used in the packaging and printing industry, especially for printing that requires large amounts of printing, high precision and strong material affordability. Very suitable for products.
This type of packaging is mainly designed for printing food and beverages, packaging materials for medical items and drugs, and packaging of household cleaning and cosmetics.
Layered and fine printing technology
Stackable flexographic printing presses are particularly suitable for completing small-scale and large-scale printing industry operations.
This material is often used in the production of micro plastic bags, paper bags and other fields.
Section 3 covers: its unique features and its clear advantages

Although the printing pressure is high, its distribution is relatively even, helping to ensure that the printed products are of high quality and continuity.
Using central printing technology, very precise and repeatable printing results can be achieved.
Comply with the production environment and standards for large-scale and sustainable development.
Layered and fine printing technology
The stacked flexo printing machine has demonstrated its excellent performance in terms of the range of printing materials used, rapid response and accuracy of printing.
Versatility for a variety of print types and sizes.
Since the stacked flexo printing machine adopts a simpler design concept, it is easier to maintain and operate in terms of routine.
From a macro perspective, CI flexo printing and stack flexo printing have shown their respective advantages in terms of design framework, practical application scenarios, and their unique characteristics. When making decisions, key factors such as actual printing needs, manufacturing scale, and budget costs need to be fully considered.
