Asahi Photoproducts, a pioneer in flexographic photopolymer plate development, today reported that leading North America-based packaging company Winpak Ltd. is the first in the United States to install the company’s CrystalClearConnect automated flexo platemaking system at their Winpak Films business unit in Senoia, Georgia. This automated system was co-developed with ESKO and Kongsberg. With CrystalCleanConnect, press-ready plates are prepared in a single step, reducing operator interventions normally required in a 12-step traditional plate production.
