FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between 2.54mm and 2.84mm flexo plates?

2.54mm plates are slightly thinner and harder (Shore A 54–56) with 133 LPI screen ruling, ideal for shopping bags and folding cartons. 2.84mm plates (Shore A 40–42) are softer with 100 LPI, better suited for heavier substrates like Kraft paper and tissue where more cushion is needed.

Q2: Can I use UV ink with this plate?

No. This 2.54mm plate is compatible with water-based and alcohol-based inks only. UV ink, oil-based ink, and solvents containing >25% ethyl acetate are not compatible and may cause plate swelling or permanent damage.

Q3: Why choose 2.54mm for shopping bags and folding cartons?

The 2.54mm thickness provides the right balance of cushion and stiffness for medium-weight substrates. Shore A 54–56 ensures good ink transfer on rough kraft surfaces, while 133 LPI resolution delivers clean text and line work on folding cartons.

Q4: What equipment do I need to process this plate?

You need a solvent-based flexo plate processor compatible with 2.54mm thickness. Bowin supplies a full range of plate-making machines — from compact units to industrial systems. View our plate-making machines →

Q5: Are free samples available?

Yes! Free samples are available for qualified buyers to test on their own presses before placing a production order. This ensures the plate performs optimally with your substrate, ink system, and press configuration.

Q6: What is the lead time for this plate?

Standard sizes typically ship within 7–15 days after order confirmation. Custom sizes or large-volume orders may require additional time. Contact us for a precise delivery schedule.
