Background
The FLEXO Color Guide was initiated in 1949 by the Glass Container Manufacturers Institute (GCMI), now known as the Glass Packaging Institute (GPI). Ink samples are printed on actual corrugated liner board, using current mill production roll stock, taking the guesswork out of printing your corrugated boxes.
