In the current competitive and quality-conscious scenario, there is an increased need for print clarity, durability, and detailing, all of which are of utmost priority in these modern printing applications, particularly in packaging, labeling, and specialty printing.

This is where Plate Crafters shines with their high-technology Photopolymer Printing Plates.

What is Photopolymer and why is it important to Printing?

Photopolymer is a resin-based material that is dried out by a UV light source to provide raised images suitable for printing by flexography. Photopolymer plates have sharper detail, smoother ink transfer, and longer performance compared to their predecessors, the rubber plates. They have emerged as the gold standard in flexographic as well as specialty printing over time.

Plate Crafters: Be Perfect with All 3 Stages of Photopolymer Innovation

We use photopolymer, not just anywhere, but as the fuel of three big technological steps forward at Plate Crafters.

1. Photopolymer of the Next Generation

We use modern resins, which are designed chemically to support finer screens, release ink as well, and have longer-lasting plates. Laser-sharp barcodes, highly foil-stamped, your work demands seriously good printing, and we offer the ideal polymer to deliver.


2. High-quality Processing Equipment

We have high-resolution lasers, thermal and solvent processing, as well as plate finishing technologies that ensure maximum plate consistency and definition. Our equipment will take a digital image and allow the creation of a perfect flexographic plate from a flat-top dot creation to full HD screening.


3. Smart Screening and Imaging Software

Great photopolymer plates are always driven by powerful software. We have the most up-to-date digital screening and imaging technologies, which help us to maximize ink coverage, dot shape, and tonal gamut. This guarantees easy gradations and spot registration, be it printing food packaging, pharmaceutical blister packs, or corrugated boxes.

Here are reasons why printers prefer using the services of Plate Crafters rather than making their plates.

It takes constant financing of the latest technology in equipment, personnel, materials, and more to stay at the forefront. To many printers, this can hamper them since this is expensive to maintain the services in-house and do them with high quality.

That is the reason why photographers and trade printers switch to Plate Crafters as their photopolymer trade shop. We just concentrate on producing plates, which means you can concentrate on making your print runs flawless.
