What Is Gravure Printing for Flexible Packaging?
Gravure printing, also called rotogravure printing, uses engraved cylinders to transfer ink onto flexible packaging film. Each printing color uses a dedicated cylinder, enabling sharp graphics, smooth gradients, accurate brand colors and stable results across long production runs.
It is an ideal printing method for custom flexible packaging that requires consistent quality, premium shelf appeal and repeat production at scale.

Cylinder Setup
