Flexible printed circuits

At Mekoprint we develop and manufacture flexible printed circuits / flexprint / FPC in roll2roll production. The printed circuits are produced on copper-plated foil rolls in combination with screen printing and etching technology. The production facilities makes it possible to print continuous patterns across the length of the roll.

The flexible structure makes it possible to apply the circuits to curved organic shaped surfaces – Making the foils highly suitable as a cost effective alternative to conventional rigid PCBs.

Copper-based antennas are often used for communications in radio, radar and telecommunications systems.

FPC antennas can be used in all products that require measurement and communication. Due to the cost-effective production methods and uniform quality level, they are particularly useful in products sold in high volume.

The high degree of automation in Mekoprint’s roll-to-roll production setup creates cost-optimised solutions. The flexible circuit board is produced with minimal manual handling in all the processes – printing, etching and finishing processes.

The roll-2-roll production setup of the flexible circuits on continuous foil rolls has significant advantages as regards cost, production time and quality.

Flexible printed circuits may be delivered as single items cut into format, on sheets or on rolls, prepared for fully automatic pick-and-place in the further processing in the customer’s production.
