FAQ’s
What substrates can be printed using rotogravure?
Rotogravure supports a wide range of substrates including PET, BOPP, BOPA, CPP, aluminium foil, and metallised films, making it highly versatile for flexible packaging applications.
Is rotogravure suitable for large production volumes?
Yes, rotogravure is specifically designed for high-volume production. It maintains consistent quality across long runs, making it ideal for bulk manufacturing and repeat orders.
How does rotogravure ensure colour consistency?
Colour consistency is achieved through engraved cylinders, controlled ink viscosity, and precise machine settings, ensuring uniform output across batches and production cycles.
Can rotogravure handle complex designs and fine details?
Absolutely. Rotogravure excels at reproducing fine text, gradients, and intricate multi-colour graphics with exceptional clarity and sharpness.
What is the typical lead time for rotogravure printing?
Lead times depend on cylinder engraving, design complexity, and order volume, but once cylinders are prepared, production runs are highly efficient and scalable.
Is rotogravure cost-effective?
While initial cylinder costs are higher, rotogravure becomes highly cost-effective for large volumes and repeat orders due to lower per-unit printing costs over long runs.
How durable is rotogravure printing?
Rotogravure prints offer excellent ink adhesion and durability, making them resistant to abrasion, moisture, and handling during transport and storage.
Can existing designs be reused for repeat orders?
Yes, engraved cylinders can be stored and reused, enabling fast turnaround and consistent quality for repeat production without re-development.
