Due to the higher demands for more variation on shorter label runs, Repacorp purchased two digital presses with near photographic quality. "With no plate or die charges, our digital label short runs are inexpensive compared to flexographic printing," Heinl explained.
Vogel has seen a blossoming trend in repositionables and removables, both in papers and films, as well as in niche products. He went on to say that AmeriCAL has made its own investments in new equipment, although its purchases rival digital. "We recently installed a prepress system for making high-end flexographic printing plates that offers both the precision of digital plates along with the irreplaceable artisan mechanics of finishing with superb dots on plate. That synergy has resulted in dynamic flexo printing that rivals the short-run digital in the marketplace," he enthused.
