Sinwa has decided to expand its business into the letterpress area for label printing in order to meet growing demands.

The move to meet precision and improved reproduction through digital platforms has provided an opportunity for Sinwa in the digital flexo platemaking process. The company then took a step to extend its services to letterpress customers by providing high-quality digital letterpress plates.

To meet this growing demand, Sinwa purchased the compact all-in-one letterpress plate-making system, nyloprint Combination CW 50 x 70 from Flint Group. The device combines an exposure with a washout and drying unit for the production of quality water washable letterpress plates.

Programmed plate processing parameters and a temperature controlled washout section also allow process safety.

Sinwa meets the challenges of label printers by using a plush washout system that prevents the fine elements from washing away, thus providing the reproduction of fine dots.

“From the onset, Sinwa has been an innovation leader in the Chinese flexo printing market and offers outstanding products and services”, says QiHong-Magenta Zheng, general manager, Flint Group Flexographic Products China. “We are confident that with Flint Group’s unique letterpress plate technology and experience, the project will prove very successful.”

In 2000, Sinwa, a leading Chinese flexo plate trade shop, was founded in Shanghai. According to the company, it has been committed to developing the flexographic industry in China and also installed China’s first digital imagerIt currently operates from six domestic branches located in Shanghai, Dongguan, Qingdoa, Wuhan, Tianjin and Weifang.
