Things to know Rotogravure cylinders in modern production
Why are gravure cylinders the standard for high print runs?
Gravure printing is regarded as one of the highest-quality processes in the printing industry. By engraving minute cells into the surface of the gravure cylinder, it is possible to achieve extremely fine details and brilliant colour gradients that remain absolutely consistent even across print runs of millions. SAUERESSIG uses state-of-the-art laser and engraving technology for this purpose to guarantee maximum precision.
From pre-press to the finished cylinder
Efficiency begins even before the first print run. As a full-service partner, we support you throughout the entire value chain. Our integrated pre-press process includes:
• Artwork & Repro: Professional preparation of your designs for gravure printing.
• Precise engraving: Use of high-end engraving processes for optimal ink transfer.
• Quality assurance: Full digitisation of quality control for flawless results.
Sustainability in cylinder manufacturing
Nowadays, modern gravure cylinders must not only be precise, but also environmentally responsible. We are committed to a holistic approach to sustainability. This includes sourcing 100% green electricity (from 2025) and calculating the individual product carbon footprint for your cylinders, in order to provide transparency regarding the carbon footprint of your supply chain.
