Reverse gravure printing is a high-quality printing process commonly used in the packaging industry, particularly for labels and flexible packaging. This technique involves transferring ink from engraved cylinders onto a substrate, typically plastic films or paper, resulting in vibrant and detailed images. The reverse gravure method ensures that the ink is applied in a controlled manner, allowing for precise color reproduction and consistency across large production runs.
| Printing speed | Up to 600 meters per minute |
| Maximum print width | Up to 1.5 meters |
| Ink types | Solvent-based, water-based, and UV-curable inks |
| Substrates | Flexible films, paper, and foil |
| Image resolution | Up to 300 dpi |
When selecting reverse gravure printing services, consider the type of substrate you will be using, as compatibility can affect print quality. Specify the required print resolution, color accuracy, and any specific ink types needed for your application. Additionally, provide details about the quantity of prints required, as this can influence pricing and production timelines. Certifications for food safety or environmental standards may also be relevant depending on your industry.
