Flexo vs Rotogravure for Packaging Films and Non-Woven: A Buyer’s Guide
Printers and bag plants expanding capacity often ask: flexographic or rotogravure? Both appear in the OUNUO / OYANG portfolio — YTB/YTC flexo lines and HONOR rotogravure lines — but they serve different job mixes.
Choose flexo when you need
- Faster job changeovers and shorter runs
- Paper, non-woven and film on a versatile stack or CI press
- Lower plate cost for frequent design changes (retail promotions)
Choose rotogravure when you need
- Very high volume with stable long-run designs
- Fine vignettes and high ink density on film packaging
- Consistent quality at high line speeds for industrial orders
Practical Americas tip
Many converters run flexo for non-woven shopping bags and keep gravure for laminated film packaging. Share your substrate list and monthly meterage with Michael — we will recommend YTB stack, YTC CI, or HONOR gravure without overselling colors or width you will not use.
