Three times winner of an EFTA print award, TCL Packaging has introduced the Fotoflex process to provide top quality print on packaging films at lower cost.  The results offer gravure-like print quality without the expense of high origination costs and the need for long runs to achieve economics.  Uniquely, Fotoflex is based on only eight colours but produces excellent results for up to ten-colour designs.  

Managing Director Tim Crow comments “At TCL we are structured for innovation and the technical team is motivated to continually develop and improve processes for our customers.  Fotoflex was developed in response to customer demands to reduce print cost and achieve better economics on shorter runs and promotions without compromising print quality”  

The Fotoflex process is perfect for complex designs, vignettes, sharp detail and high-resolution photography.  Just like gravure printing, there is an added depth of colour achieved and a life-like density, clarity and lustre to the finished films.  

Tim Crow concludes “We have some examples of printed film that compare results from conventional print and the Fotoflex process – we will be happy to send these to prospective customers so they can see the excellent results first hand”
