Sustainable flexo printing
At KIVO, sustainability is at the heart of our flexo printing process. We minimise environmental impact by using fewer colours and reducing waste. Our afterburner neutralises alcohol vapours, so we comply with strict European laws and regulations. Innovative techniques allow us to achieve similar printing results with less ink, thus producing sustainable and environmentally friendly packaging.
