Flexograv

What Flexograv does

Flexograv is a Brazilian flexographic pre-press services and cliché (printing plate) manufacturer founded in 2000, headquartered in Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, with two additional production units in Farroupilha (Rio Grande do Sul) and Indaiatuba (São Paulo). The company employs 18 people and serves corrugated packaging manufacturers, label and flexible packaging converters, and general flexographic printers, primarily within the Brazilian market. It is described as one of the largest clicherias (cliché producers) in Brazil, with over 20 years of accumulated expertise and international certifications from DuPont, Esko, Miraclon/Kodak, and GreenCircle.

The core technological asset is EasyFlow, an exclusive proprietary workflow software that automates pre-press processes — file receipt, verification, standardization, automatic trapping, color separation, and direct transmission to flexographic production equipment — coupled with a customer portal for remote file submission, approval, and real-time job tracking. Flexograv operates certified third-party platforms (Esko XPS Crystal LED UV exposure, DuPont Cyrel Fast 2.000 TD thermal processor, Kodak Flexcel NX via Miraclon) alongside proprietary plate technologies (Full HD Flexograv, EasyDot at 4000 dpi / 100+ lpcm, Extended Gamut/OGV with GMG color profiling) and supporting tools (EasyProof proofing, MockUp 3D and Sleev3D simulation, color profile management). The company holds GreenCircle sustainability certification and was awarded the Troféu Fornecedor Premium 2024.

Revenue is generated through a mix of one-time manufacturing fees for flexographic clichés and rotary cutting/creasing dies (matrizes), professional pre-press services, and a recurring subscription/portal component via the EasyFlow platform. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with personalized technical support — dedicated operators maintain phone and email contact throughout each project — complemented by a self-serve client portal (Área do Cliente) that supports digital order entry and tracking. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with no public listing, funding rounds, or investor relations disclosures available, indicating a privately-held, owner-operated business.
