Rotogravure Cylinder Manufacturing

Gravure cylinders prepared for your press

HUAYN prepares rotogravure cylinders using German HELL electronic engraving equipment. The work starts with the approved artwork and the press specification, so cylinder preparation and printing use the same production information.

Information needed for a quotation

Send the artwork files, number of designs and colours, printing repeat, cylinder face length and the required mounting specification or drawing. Include the film structure, printing side, intended ink system and colour reference. If you are replacing an existing set, identify which cylinders and artwork versions are to be reused.

Approve the artwork before engraving

Confirm dimensions, separations, trapping, text and barcode placement before releasing the engraving data. Fine details and colour expectations should be assessed through an agreed proof or printed sample. Cylinder preparation does not by itself establish the appearance of every film, ink and press combination.

For a connected production order, review our prepress service and flexible packaging printing. The quote should state where cylinder supply ends and any proofing or press support begins.
