Flexographic Services

Waldo Limited is an independent and privately-owned company located in the heart of Lincolnshire in the market town of Louth. We have a long and outstanding heritage in flexography, from first producing hand-engraved plates to the latest HD digital. We are committed to bringing the latest innovations to the flexographic printing industry and constantly strive to provide the highest level of service.

We use the latest in technology to produce high quality flexographic plates

exposure

ESKO Crystal XPS

This innovative exposure unit produces consistent digital flexo plates using UV LEDs that do not require a warm-up and simultaneously expose the main and back exposure.

imager

Xeikon Thermoflex

The ThermoFlex 80 was built with productivity and quality in mind, featuring automatic plate handling, on-the-fly resolution switching, and an automated calibration system for consistent, high-quality plates.

processor

MacDermid Vianord

With its 3D Brush Motion system, our EVO plate processor provides a consistent and repeatable washout that automatically synchronizes the brushes, so they always clean the plate at the correct rate.

cutting table

ESKO Kongsberg

Our cutting table accurately and consistently cuts all our flexo plates. The edge is cut at a  45˚ angle for thicker corrugated plates as standard to reduce plate lift when running on the press.
