Mondi Lindlar, a German manufacturer of flexible packaging and packaging materials, has reported improved quality and optimized printing processes thanks to use of Kodak Flexcel NX plates.  

Mondi Lindlar, a subsidiary of the consumer bags division that is part of the Mondi international paper and packaging corporation, was aiming to improve its flexo printing quality and offer a greater variety of packaging designs, along with shorter runs.

‘Our customers expect a high level of flexibility and excellent print quality in ever-shorter lead times,’ said Stefan Gutheil, managing director, Mondi Consumer Bags. The combination of Flexcel NX plates and the optimization of various printing process parameters have allowed the Mondi facility in Lindlar to upgrade its flexo packaging quality in line with its ambitious vision.’

In collaboration with several partners, including manufacturers of anilox rollers and sticky-back plate mounting tape, the printing process parameters have been optimized to realize the print quality potential in everyday production. ‘Whereas our conventional screens had 105lpi on average, this figure is now up to 175. The feedback from our customers regarding the superior results is unanimously positive, and we've noticed a sharp rise in demand,’ Gutheil concluded.
