Check the technical requirements
Confirm the plate grade and gauge, artwork dimensions, press, substrate and ink system. Review Printing Plates for published figures and Shipping & Delivery for Canada and US shipping information.
Repeat orders and production timing
For a repeat, provide the previous order number. Artech uses retained original equipment, material and settings for the repeat; any necessary substitution must be agreed with the customer.
Customer approval of the proof is required before plate production. Small plates or remakes may be possible the same day; substantial jobs typically take 24–48 hours. Confirm the job-specific schedule after requirements, artwork and proof approval. Shipping is separate.
Repeat-order assistance is handled by Artech; this website does not provide customer access to private order history, files or production settings.
Flexographic plates, prepared and shipped
Choose flexo plates from 1.7 mm thick for water-, UV-, or solvent-based inks. Maximum plate sizes are 34 × 46 in. for Digital FAST and 31 × 41 in. for Kodak NX.
File-to-plate ordering
Choose the upload path that matches your production file. Send TIFF/LEN files in a ZIP archive, or upload a stepped and distorted PDF to begin your order.
