“…Flexography is the most common way to print labels, so it is well known. Flexographic printing is the most preferred type of printing technology due to its continuous process functionality, technology enhancement for non-porous substrates, and manufacturing flow (Mittal et al, 2021). Its popularity has also grown a lot in recent years.…”

Quality is essential in today’s competitive market to ensure customers are happy; recent research shows that about 90% of customers think quality is just as important as price when purchasing. Total quality management (TQM) has been a boon to the economies of many countries. Different tools and methods are used in TQM to give customers the best quality. However, there are some challenges that manufacturing organizations face when implementing these tools. Much research has been done on MSME sector, so far as label manufacturers are concerned, there has yet to be any research on a national or international level. In this study, we found 66 barriers to programs to improve quality in the label printing industry. We have used fuzzy MICMAC analysis and total interpretive modeling (TISM) to make a structural model. Our research paper provides an easy-to-use methodology and critically analyses the biggest obstacles to the successful application of TQM in the flexographic printing industry. Our research identified ten issues with the implementation of TQM in this industry. The paper has identified the interdependencies of the above variables. The findings of this research will aid in future planning, particularly in E-commerce and the pharmaceutical industry, where proper label printing is crucial.

“…This technology prints with the help of a flexible relief plate that can be mounted on the cylinder. The ability of flexographic printing to print on a wide variety of substrates makes it popular among contemporary printing techniques [6]. In this printing technique, a polymer plate mounted on the cylinder is inked and applied image directly to the substrate.…”

.This article offers a thorough method for reducing defects in a Micro, Small, and Medium-sized Enterprise (MSME) that specialises in label printing using the Six Sigma DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control) framework. Delivering high-quality goods while preserving productivity and efficiency becomes crucial in emerging economies where global industry leaders pose substantial challenges to local MSMEs. This study makes use of a variety of cutting-edge tools, such as Pareto analysis, cause and effect diagrams, affinity diagrams, and interrelationship diagrams, among others, to accomplish these goals. The analysis determines misregistration, irregular ink application, and cutting errors as the most serious flaws, accounting for an astounding 84% of all rejection cases, by applying the classic 80-20 rule.The fishbone diagram, affinity diagram, and interrelationship diagram, among other tools, enable a more thorough analysis of these faults, revealing that the main root causes are changes in printing parameters, maintenance problems, and human errors. The company's quality control initiatives have reached a critical turning point with the adoption of the suggested corrective measures. It is interesting that the sigma level, which is a crucial gauge of process quality, significantly increased. For example, in the printing and die-cutting step of the flexographic label printing process, the sigma level increased from the starting baseline of 3.6 to an astonishing 4.5, further increasing to 4.8 in the slitting stage
