A flexographic press of conventional design is used to print on a container,
with
the container to be printed upon replacing the web and the impression roll of the
conventional press. In order to maintain the registration between the print stations,
the container is placed into a carrier and stays registered to the carrier until
all colors are printed. The carrier is moved between the different print stations
and is registered to each print station independently. All print stations are set
up to print in exactly the same place relative to the carrier, thus registration
is achieved.
