Flexography is a type of printing process which is used to print on any flexible material. Flexography is a type of a rotary in-line printing that is popular because of its high speed of printing. The machines used for flexography are called flexographic printing machines. Flexographic printing machines can be used for printing on almost any type of material, including plastic, paper, metallic film, cellophane and even on corrugated surfaces. Flexographic printing machines find wide application in the area of flexible packaging used for various types of products including food and beverage products. These machines are well suited for long runs of printing such as large areas of solid color. Flexographic printing uses a broad range of inks including water-based and oil-based inks.
COVID-19 scenario analysis:
- Coronavirus has affected a wide range of construction services, which include consultancy, outsourcing, and manpower support for the building industry. The negative trends in the economy of China and India, and some developed nations are anticipated to decline growth of the global construction services industry throughout the globe.
- Demand for new construction materials have witnessed a massive negative shift since the corona outbreak in December 2019, with manufactures and investors fearing an excessively receding economic growth.
- Travel prohibitions around the globe have affected the trade of construction materials. Thus, the supply and demand for construction materials are almost halted throughout the globe.
- Construction materials manufacturing companies located in China, are the major sufferers of from the virus outbreak, owing to lockdown and unavailability of logistics in the region.
- The major hindrance for the global construction materials market comes from the orders of home quarantine by respective governments, which has led to the discontinuing of production of construction materials.
- Decreased consumer demand and consumption has led to reduction and slowdown of sales of construction materials all over the globe over the course of the current economic year.
- Therefore, the flexographic printing machine market is expected to be negatively affected in 2020.
