Our Printing Formats
Flexographic Printing
Flexo (or Flexographic) printing is used for medium- to long-run packaging. Flexo presses allow continuous printing at high speed, accurately and efficiently, to produce large volumes of packaging print runs.
This printing solution is commonly used to print on items such as plastic bags, pouches, wrapping paper, boxes, and packaging bags.It is widely used for printing on the packaging materials required for various types of food and product packaging. Flexo printing is well-suited for the pet-food industry and for horticulture packaging bags.
Our Flexographic Printing Service Includes:
- Up to 6 or 8 colours (including CMYK + white)
- Multiple film and barrier options
- Cost-effective for long run printing
- Colour matching services available
- Range of finishing options (matt, gloss, combination)
- Recyclable films available.
- Local Manufacturing (Australian Made)
Gravure Printing
The gravure printing process provides precise and high-quality printing that produces fine, detailed, and eye-catching images. It works best for high-volume printing on specialty packaging (such as retort pouches and eco-friendly packaging).
Once a staple of newspaper photo features, this printing process is still used for commercial printing of magazines, postcards, printed boxes, and high-quality, custom product packaging.
Close the Loop is a gravure specialist, covering a range of flexible product packaging formats including Flat Bottom Bags and Spout Pouches.
Our Gravure Printing Service Includes:
- Up to 12 colours (including CMYK+ White)
- Colour matching services available
- Range of printing finishes available (matt, gloss, combination, rough and soft touch)
- Colour matching services available
- Multiple film and barrier options (including retort, hot-fill and oven/microwave-safe pouches)
- Our full range of sustainable films (including compostable and recyclable) are available for gravure printing.
Digital Printing
Printing on demand is almost synonymous with the digital printing process. It’s the most economical printing type for small volumes of custom packaging, perfect for emerging businesses that need multiple SKUs (at no set-up costs).
In digital printing, the packaging artwork is printed directly onto packaging film and then assembled into Stand Up Pouches or Flat Pouches. Digital printing can be used for single unit mock-up samples, marketing-testing initiatives, promotional packaging creation.
Our business is proud to continue offering our customers Australian-made digital print pouches through our The Pouch Shop division. For more information or any enquiries on our services, contact our dedicated digital team. Call us at +613 9021 0490 or email us at packaging@closetheloop.com.au.

FAQ
Do you offer rush production?
Close the Loop pride themselves on getting orders finished quickly when clients require. Call us on +613 9021 0490 or email us at packaging@closetheloop.com.au today to talk about your urgent order enquiries as soon as possible.
Do you cater to small volumes of printing packaging?
Yes. We recommend digital printing for custom printed packaging for small volumes. Unlike Flexographic printing and Gravure printing, digital printing does not need a special plate for each print run colour, so you can order for small volumes easily and achieve turn-around in a short amount of time.
Can I customise my package print order?
Can’t find the specific packaging solution you’re looking for? All of Close the Loop’s custom printed packaging solutions are made to our customers’ needs. Send us the details and submit your quote request here.
Can I get a sample print?
Yes. Due to the nature of digital technology, clients can run multiple same-size designs at once, or make alterations between runs without additional costs. We have the capacity to produce quick-turn around times for packaging mock-ups through our in-house sample studio and Australian-based digital printing and manufacturing services.
