Pinmark Block: Elevating Flexo Printing with Innovation and Expertise

Flexographic printing has come a long way, evolving into a high-quality, cost-effective solution for packaging and labels. But behind every exceptional flexo print lies a crucial component—the flexo plate. That’s where Pinmark Block comes in, a pioneer in the Indian flexo platemaking industry with over 65 years of experience.

At Pinmark Block, we don’t just make flexo plates—we empower printers to achieve better quality, reduce press downtime, and increase profitability with precision-engineered solutions. By offering a combination of cutting-edge technology, expert guidance, and personalized service, we help printers push the boundaries of what’s possible in flexo printing.

How Pinmark Block Helps Printers Stay Ahead

Flexo printing is all about consistency, efficiency, and vibrancy. But achieving this at scale comes with its challenges—inconsistent ink transfer, press downtime, plate wear, and print imperfections. Pinmark Block helps printers overcome these challenges with solutions that deliver real-world advantages.

1. Bellissima Hybrid Screening – Near Gravure Quality Without High Costs

Bellissima Hybrid Screening

Printing at near 350 LPI resolution on a flexo press was once a dream. Now, it’s a reality with Bellissima Hybrid Screening, a breakthrough technology that eliminates issues like:

• Moiré patterns and banding

• Dot bridging and unpredictable ink flow

• Lost details in highlights and shadows

  
  

With this technology, printers can achieve smooth vignettes, fine details, and sharper images, matching gravure-like quality without switching to expensive gravure printing. This means:

• More jobs retained in flexo rather than being moved to gravure

• Cost savings on plates and inks

• Stronger competitive positioning in the market

2. Longer-Lasting Plates for High-Speed Printing

One of the biggest headaches for printers is plate wear—as plates degrade, print quality suffers, and costs rise. Pinmark Block’s high-performance flexo plates are designed for longer runs, offering:

• Greater durability, meaning fewer replacements

• Less press downtime, leading to higher productivity

• More consistent ink transfer, ensuring brand colors remain accurate from the first print to the last

  
  

Printers using our plates report a significant reduction in setup time and make-ready waste, directly boosting their bottom line.

3. Machine-Cut Flexo Plates for Easier Mounting and Seamless Print Quality

In the flexible packaging and ice cream industry, precision is everything. Misaligned plates can lead to print defects, product waste, and costly reprints. That’s why Pinmark Block provides machine-cut flexo plates, which offer:

• Perfect alignment for seamless mounting on the press

• Minimized plate joint gaps, resulting in gravure-like print quality without visible seams

• Reduced risk of tearing during demounting

• Higher efficiency, minimizing manual errors

  
  

This means printers can handle more jobs with less hassle, improving workflow and ensuring consistently perfect prints.

4. Better Ink Transfer for High-Quality Print Jobs

Achieving high-quality prints is all about precise ink transfer. Pinmark Block’s advanced screening and plate technologies help printers achieve superior ink laydown, sharper details, and vibrant colors.

• Optimized plate technology ensures even ink distribution

• Better dot reproduction leads to higher contrast and improved image sharpness

• Improved press efficiency leads to fewer stoppages and reworks

  
  

With Pinmark Block’s solutions, printers can produce premium-quality prints with excellent consistency.
