Given the nature of printing with the Rotogravure printing machine, where fluid ink is transferred from depressions in a printing plate to the paper, it produces exceptional quality results. This technology has now been acquired by SaiPaks India Pvt. Ltd. and is ready to print for our clients.
The ink used in this printing has oil resistant properties and is formulated so that it is also suited for deep freeze applications like dairy and other edibles’ packaging. Rotogravure can print on both, polyethylene, and polypropylene films.
While rotogravure printing may be expensive, its excellent print quality, high printing speed coupled with simple printing process, accurate ink use and flexibility of printing machine structures, makes it the obvious choice in certain applications.
