Case Study: Walle Corporation achieves sharper label imaging with Esko HD Flexo

Walle Corporation Achieves Sharper Imaging with HD Flexo

Walle Corporation, a leading label supplier, faced the challenge of improving flexo print quality to better compete with gravure and offset printing. They specifically needed better highlight reproduction and a way to reproduce art without relying on stochastic screening. To address this, they turned to Esko and its HD Flexo plate imaging technology.

Esko implemented its CDI Spark 4260 imager outfitted with HD Flexo technology. This solution provided sharper imaging and more clearly defined screen dots, which resulted in superior highlight reproduction and consistent print quality. The measurable impacts for Walle included a 15% reduction in makeready time, extended plate life, and the newfound confidence to successfully compete for business traditionally printed with gravure or offset.
