The printing plate is one of the key raw materials in the production of corrugated cardboard boxes and cartons. Its characteristics not only affect the efficiency of the printing process but also directly influence the quality of the printed product. Due to differences in the structure and characteristics of printing plates, there are noticeable variations in both print quality and cost. Therefore, selecting an appropriate printing plate based on the actual production conditions of the printing factory, the features of the product, and the characteristics of the printing plate is an important measure for improving the efficiency and quality of corrugated cardboard box production.
