ROTOGRAVURE PRINTING

PRINTING EXCELLENCE,
EVERY IMPRESSION

In a world where packaging plays a significant role in selling a product and a message, rotogravure printing for plastic packaging film is an essential method for any manufacturer of flexible packaging material.

Rotogravure presses are widely used to print on standard packaging films such as PET, OPP, Nylon, and PE. In contrast to other processes, rotogravure presses use engraved printing cylinders that can handle large volume runs at comparatively low operating costs. Additionally, they ensure high-quality image reproduction. New technical developments include quick change features and improved web tension control, further increasing the range of applications and enabling even wider usability in the future.

Flexible packaging today not only requires standard presses for the printing of packaging materials, but also modern machines that can handle a variety of special applications. These include security features (holograms, micro images, etc.), additional complementary printing methods (screen printing, UV lacquering, etc.), and in-line converting features.

In the rotogravure printing segment, Rieckermann offers a technically highly advanced and flexible product portfolio including efficient standard machines and related peripheral equipment to keep production clean, effective, and profitable.

Our technically advanced solutions help solve the main challenges for printers, such as:

Machine downtime: Trolley system reduces downtimes between job changes.
Ink and solvent consumption: Ink cooling devices not only help save consumption of inks and solvents but also add print consistency to maximize speed.
Substrate limitations: With advanced web tension control, the range of materials to be printed is extended below standard thickness. All presses are engineered to print on a wide range of flexible materials.
Complying with sustainability standards: The LEL system helps reduce energy consumption, while ink cooling devices help reduce ink and solvent consumption.
Registration: The pre-register system and automation make sure to minimize register movement even during roll splicing.
Safety issues: An advanced active static management and monitoring system reduces the risk of incidents. An advanced CO2 fire extinguishing system is included as standard.
