What the plant can actually do.

Both flexographic and rotogravure printing:

• Flexo, up to ten colours. The workhorse for most jobs, and the economical route for medium runs and frequent artwork changes.
• Rotogravure, up to eight colours. For premium work, fine detail, heavy ink coverage and high-gloss finishes.

Both reverse and surface printing are available. Reverse printing puts the ink behind the film so the print is protected and the gloss comes through the substrate, which is what you want on premium, high-gloss work.

Solvent-based lamination building structures up to four layers, combined according to what the product has to survive: moisture, oxygen, light, oil, freezing, a vacuum, retort temperatures, or months in a container.

The combination is chosen per job rather than picked off a list. Send us the product and the shelf life you are aiming for and we will specify it. The barrier and performance page covers what each property is for.

Yes. That is the split at the last stage. Material is slit to your web width and wound on your core size for form-fill-seal, flow-wrap and vertical filling lines. If you would rather receive finished packaging, the same material carries on into pouch making and arrives sealed, gusseted, zippered and notched as specified.

Send us the packaging you buy today, or a photograph of it with the dimensions, and we work back from the finished article: the format, the barrier it has to give, the print, and how it runs on your filling line. Most new work starts this way rather than from a written specification. If something about the current packaging is not working, say so in the first message, because that is usually the part worth changing rather than copying.

Yes. Design and pre-press are the first stage of our own process, not an outside service. Artwork is prepared, separated and proofed in-house before any plate or cylinder is cut, and we will flag anything in a supplied file that will not reproduce the way the designer expects: trap, overprint, minimum rule weight, reversed-out type on a busy background.

Yes. We have clean room capability and already supply packaging into medical and personal protective equipment customers, alongside food and personal care. If your product has hygiene requirements that go beyond ordinary food packing, say so at the specification stage and we will scope the run accordingly.

Yes. RCI Flexible Packaging is registered with Sri Lanka's Board of Investment, the government body that approves and regulates export-oriented manufacturers. That status is what lets us supply export producers locally and ship direct to overseas brand owners and co-packers.
