Reducing ink and solvent consumption while simultaneously optimizing print quality, SÜDPACK’s SPQ technology for flexo printing offers potential carbon savings for package printing. Now, SÜDPACK has expanded the range of use for the innovative printing process to also include rotogravure printing, offering an alternative that is highly efficient and conserves resources.

Using the technology for rotogravure printing requires the complete standardization of machine and process parameters, as well as smart color management. Just like for flexo printing, all of the designs are mapped automatically in the pre-press stage using a reduced color palette.
Thanks to the PUR-based (polyurethane) color system, the ink is also suitable for pasteurization and sterilization. This opens up a wide variety of options for applications that involve heating, such as for packaging ready-to-eat (RTE) meals, pet food, or baby food.
