Printing Methods

The Economics of Flexographic Printing are available through 2 methods Duro uses in the printing of your design

1) Tailprint: The most economical
This method prints your design and forms the paper into a bag in one step on the same machine. There are limitations and this process is used for designs with 4 colors or less.
(See "Tailprint Guidelines")

2. Preprint:
This method prints the paper and rewinds it back into roll form. This method is used for High-end Graphics demand, tone work, 4 color process printing, fine detail, tight register requirements or other value added process such as tinting the inside and outside of the paper, Rotary Hot Stamping, Embossing and Lamination.
