MARKET INFORMATION
Versatile and productive, the flexography still stands out for the printing quality. According to the Brazilian Flexography Industry Association data – Abflexo/FTA-Brasil, the Brazilian market registers a growth of more than 5% a year.
The flexographic printing is very productive both for the low and the high printing quantities. This characteristic specially favors the fast packing layout changes, one of the strategies adopted by the marketing departments, mainly in the food industry.
