According to Asahi, its AWP line of flexo plates and plate equipment continues to gain recognition worldwide for quality and performance. The AWP water washable flexo plate from Asahi is idesgned to generate quality results that were previously only possible with gravure. The line also features a sustainable production environment with no VOC’s.

Correct-Touch Graphic Arts has been the exclusive US distributor of Asahi Flexo products for 17 years. TCL Packaging Limited has also been working with Creation Reprographics (both UK companies), using Asahi AWP flexo plates.

“We’re all about replacement of gravure here at TCL,” says Dean Langford, TCL production manager. “We initially assessed about five different flexographic plates, but when we began working with Creation Reprographics, we were really impressed with the quality standard they could deliver on the Asahi AWP plate solution.

“Creation Reprographics understood our desire to perform at a premium level in the market; and working with the Asahi AWP plate, we are able to extend our application reach, as well as meet the needs of premium brands in the market,” adds Langford.
