FAQ
Flexo vs gravure — questions
Is flexo or gravure cheaper?
It depends on the job. Gravure has higher cylinder (tooling) costs but runs efficiently at very high volumes, while flexo has lower set-up so it's usually cheaper for short and medium runs. This tool prices the same pouch on both and shows the break-even quantity where one overtakes the other.
What is the break-even quantity?
It's the order quantity at which the two processes cost the same per pouch. Below it the lower-tooling process (usually flexo) is cheaper; above it the other can win. The tool calculates it from your inputs.
