How does flexographic printing differ from digital printing?

The core difference is plates. Flexo prints from physical plates that must be made and mounted, while digital prints straight from the file with no plates at all. That single distinction drives cost, speed, and which jobs suit each method.

• Flexo's setup cost is spread across a big run, so per-unit price drops as volume climbs.
• Digital skips setup entirely, which wins for small quantities and personalized pieces.
