2.84mm Digital CTP Photopolymer Flexographic Printing Plate | Shore A 40-42 for Kraft Bags & Corrugated Cartons

2.84mm Digital CTP Photopolymer Flexographic Printing Plate | Shore A 40-42 for Kraft Bags & Corrugated Cartons

Our 2.84mm digital photopolymer flexographic printing plate is engineered for CTP laser imaging, featuring soft Shore A 40-42 durometer and 1–1.4mm relief depth. It delivers sharp 120 LPI fine dots, ideal for heavy kraft carry bags, corrugated cartons, paper napkins and lightweight folding cartons, and works perfectly with water-based & alcohol flexo inks.

 

TThis 2.84mm soft flexo photopolymer plate delivers 120 LPI fine graphic performance, balanced 1–1.4mm relief depth avoids dot crush on thin napkin and beverage packaging substrates, fully compatible with solvent wash CTP processing equipment.

FAQ

Q1: What is the difference between digital and analog flexo plates?
Digital plates (CTP) are imaged directly by laser — no film needed, faster turnaround, higher consistency. Analog plates require a film negative for UV exposure. This 2.84mm plate supports CTP digital workflow for maximum efficiency.
Q2: Why choose 2.84mm thickness for corrugated & bag printing?
The 2.84mm digital flexo plate is our medium-thin grade optimized for mixed fine detail + light solid printing. Unlike thicker plates for heavy corrugate, its balanced 1–1.4mm relief and soft Shore A 40-42 surface avoid dot gain on thin kraft, beverage carton stock, producing crisp high-line-screen graphics without ink blurring.
Q3: Can I use UV ink with this plate?
No. The 2.84mm plate is compatible with water-based and alcohol-based inks only. UV ink is not compatible with this plate. Using incompatible ink may cause plate swelling or permanent damage.
Q4: What equipment do I need to process this plate?
You need a flexo plate-making machine compatible with 2.84mm thickness. Bowin supplies a full range of solvent-based plate processors — from the compact BW-400 to the industrial BW-2100. Matching flexo plate making machines for 2.84mm printing plate →(thin gauge requires balanced solvent wash speed to protect fine dot structures)
Q5: Are free samples available?
We supply free test samples of this 2.84mm flexographic printing plate for qualified packaging printers. You can run real production tests targeting 120 LPI fine graphics on napkin, kraft bag and beverage carton stock to verify dot reproduction, ink transfer and press compatibility before bulk orders.
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.
