Rotogravure is the reference process for high-volume flexible packaging.
The image is engraved directly into a chrome-plated steel cylinder as
millions of microscopic cells. Each cell carries a metered dose of ink onto
the film — there is no plate to wear, no blanket to degrade.
- Repeatability across the run. The colour approved on day one is the colour delivered in every subsequent batch.
- True photographic reproduction. Variable cell depth lays down genuinely variable ink density — smooth vignettes, dense solids, fine skin tones.
- Speed at scale. Gravure runs fast on wide webs, which is what makes large FMCG volumes economical.
- Direct printing on demanding films. Handles polyester, BOPP, and barrier films with inks formulated for lamination strength and product resistance.
Our gravure lines print the reverse-printed laminates used across our pouch
range — the ink is trapped between film layers, so the print cannot scuff,
scratch, or contact the product.
