Our Processes
Olympus Labels recognised that UV flexo quality when combined with other processes such as rotary screen offered a unique ability to satisfy the needs of its customers in maximising the shelf-appeal of their brands.
In addition a favourable cost structure offers a significant competitive advantage over other printing process.
We offer a compatible manufacturing platform based around the latest UV flexo combination press technologies … achieving printing excellence with manufacturing agility.
UV Flexo
UV Flexo combination printing is the fastest growing sector in narrow web converting with many customers specifying UV flexo as the primary printing process.
Olympus Labels are pioneers of the process and offer UV flexo combination printing in up to 9 colours. They have invested in an innovative system that supports print station and process interchangeability. With the advent of digital plates UV flexo can replicate delicate vignettes and tone work down to the finest dot.
Wide Web Flexo-Screen
Olympus has invested in the latest wide web (420mm) 9 colour print capability, servo driven, flexible platform technology with low waste and set-up times reduced to seconds per unit.
It utilises a sleeve system for the plate and blanket cylinders - lightweight polycarbonfibre construction allows fast changes of repeat lengths in a range from 18 to 25 inches with reduced tooling costs.
Rotary Screen
Where high impact graphics and a direct decorated appearance is required rotary screen can be printed in combination with UV flexo on the company's presses. The process is particularly suited to "no-label" look applications on plastic materials.
The combination of screen text and solids with the subtle half tone work of the UV flexo process is a potent blend favoured by many customers. On-site manufacture of rotary screens means maximum flexibility for customers.
Digital Printing
A digital printing service is available to support requirements for prototyping, test marketing and smaller quantities.
