Introduction
‘What is Gravure Printing?’
Rotogravure printing or just simply gravure printing is a type of intaglio printing process which
uses a rotary printing press. It involves engraving an image onto a copper plated steel cylinder
base.
The first step is to create a cylinder with an engraved image for each color that makes up the
design. The engraving process will create on the cylinder surface the cells that will contain the
ink in order to transfer it to the substrate (film or paper). Since the amount of ink contained in the
cells corresponds to different color intensities on the substrate, the dimensions of the cells must
be carefully set: deeper cells will produce more intensive colors whereas less deep cells will
produce less intensive ones.
A rotogravure printing press has one printing unit for each color, typically CMYK or cyan,
magenta, yellow and key (printing terminology for black), but the number of units varies
depending on what colors are required to produce the final image. There are five basic
components in each color unit: an engraved cylinder (AKA “Gravure cylinder”) whose
circumference can differ according to the layout of the job; an ink fountain or reservoir; a doctor
blade; an impression roller; a dryer.

6. 6
‘How does it work?’
The ink is applied directly to the cylinder and from the cylinder it is transferred to the substrate.
While the press is in operation, the engraved cylinder is partially immersed in the ink fountain,
filling the recessed cells.
As the cylinder rotates, it draws ink out of the fountain with it. Acting as a squeegee, the doctor
blade scrapes the cylinder before it makes contact with the substrate, removing excess ink from
the non-printing (non-recessed) areas and leaving in the cells the right amount of ink required:
this tool is located quite close to the substrate so that the ink left in the cells does not have
enough time to dry.
Next, the substrate gets sandwiched between the impression roller and the gravure cylinder: this
is where the ink gets transferred from the recessed cells to the substrate. The purpose of the
impression roller is to apply force, pressing the substrate onto the gravure cylinder, ensuring
even and maximum coverage of the ink.
The capillary action of the substrate and the pressure from impression rollers force the ink out of
the cell cavity and transfer it to the substrate. Then the substrate goes through a dryer because it
must be completely dry before going through the next color unit and absorbing another coat of
ink.
Image Generation.
4 Color PROCESS Printing / CMYK
The image is separated into 4 different color values
Cyan / Magenta / Yellow / Black
Individual colors are printed as dots at varying densities Individual dots combine to form
additional unique colors
In Packaging printing, 4 color process is typically combined with line colors to accurately
represent trademarks and logos and to maintain color consistency over large areas of solid
colors
The number of final colors in a design is nearly limitless

7. 7
Characteristics of Gravure Publication Printing
The simplicity of the process helps make Gravure the fastest of the printing processes, the web
runs at the greatest speed. The stability of the press makes it possible to print very wide webs.
Gravure Printing suffers less downtime, and there is less wastage in comparison to other printing
process. The combination of speed, width, and low downtime produces very high productivity
and compensates for the relatively high cost of preparing a cylinder. The cost of preparing a
cylinder is obviously less important on long runs and better print quality. The combinations of
speed, width, & low downtime have big/ volume publication produced to look as alternate for
their processes.
Advantages:
 high quality over long print runs
 inline process possible
 100 % seamless printing
 excellent design reproduction
 high quality of halftone image and gradation
 excellent quality with metallic ink
 combination of solvent and water-based ink
 Suitable for various qualities of board / paper / foil.

About “Paharpur 3P”
The Origin
In the late 80's and early 90's, the flexible packaging in industry was evolving and was driven
by the lubricant and tobacco industries. Paharpur 3P was the brainchild of Mahendra Swarup
(Founder Chairman of the group) who was looking for a sunrise sector and seeing the
opportunity and the growth rates (35- 40 percent annually) in the industry, decided to diversify
into flexible packaging with a start-up unit in Sahibabad Industrial Area. That is how Paharpur
3P originated in the year 1994, with a green field project having modern state of the art
technology imported from Europe. Since then Paharpur 3P has come a long way under the
visionary leadership of Gaurav Swarup, Chairman of the company.
Plant Preview
Paharpur 3P is situated on an 18 acres plot on Delhi – Uttar Pradesh border wherein 33 percent
of the area is utilized for corporate office and manufacturing / storage facilities. And the balance
area is maintained under green cover reflecting the group's penchant for environmental safety
and beauty.
Company uses natural ventilators for air circulation in plant and storage areas and makes
effective use of natural light. Rain water harvesting system has been put in place and ground

10. 10
water levels and quality of ground water are measured through PIZO meters. The water
discharged from cylinder making department is treated through effluent treatment plant and is re-
used for irrigation.
The manufacturing operations for flexible packaging in the plant includes pre-press, plating,
cylinder engraving, printing, lamination, extrusion coating, slitting, blown film plant, pouch
making, bag making and ink making.
Paharpur follows the ISO 9001: 2000-Quality Management System and the ISO 22000: 2005-
Food Safety Management System. It also complies with the requirements of Occupational Health
and Safety Management System - OHSAS: 18001.
Presence - National & International
“Paharpur 3P caters only to the organized sector of the Indian market,” says Anand. And how
does the company define the unorganized sector? “Well, products like Pan Masala, Gutkha fall in
that sector,” explains Anand. “The high ethical standards of our group restrict us from dealing in
those products,” he adds.
For Paharpur 3P, the buyers in the organized sector are major FMCG companies like Unilever,
Nestle, Cadbury, Pepsi, Britannia, Heinz, HLL, ITC, Dabur, Mother Dairy, JK, MRF, SKF,
Asian Paints, Heinz, Bayer, Tata Tea, Eveready, Parry, Britannia, Sara Lee, Novartis, Henkel,

CylinderPreparation
All gravure cylinders are produced on site using a dedicated fully automatic engraving and
chroming line, which features two Max Daetwyler Gravostar 850 engraving heads.
The GS 850 packaging engraver is a value-oriented unit, which includes a layout workstation, an
engraver driver station and an engraver. It has a high frequency engraving head capable of
engraving screens at up to 175 l/cm. As well as features such as telescopic enclosures, automatic
lifting and lowering of the engraving head to prevent damage to the engraving head diamonds
and on-board diagnostics the GS 850 also offers Daetwyler's Vista cell sensing system.
The Vista system is used for head calibration and cell correction. Cells are measured on the fly,
cell widths compared with the required widths and corrections made until the engraved cell is the
right size. The system has a video monitor so that the user can see what the Vista camera sees
and an optional printer that will output hard copy prints of the final cells for quality control
purposes.
Fully integrated, in-house, engraving facility to utilizing rotogravure cylinders .This gives an
edge in replicating the designer’s idea flawlessly on the substrate, consistently, timely while
ensuring utmost confidentiality.
Machine use a diamond stylus to cut cells. Each cell creates one printing dot later in the process.
They are fully computer-controlled and the whole process of cylinder-making is fully automated.
Today Paharpur 3P have the capacity to engrave in excess of 9000 cylinder per annum.
Web-fed gravure printing requires a gapless gravure cylinder, onto which the image is applied
directly, by means of etching or engraving. For this, the cylinder must be prepared in a costly

14. 14
mechanical and galvanic process. In its basic design, the gravure cylinder consists of a thick-
walled steel tube with flanged steel journals. To increase the stiffness of this hollow cylinder,
some of the cylinder journals are drawn inwards and are supported inside the tube on additional
steel discs. All of these joints are welded during the manufacture of the gravure cylinder so that a
solid roller body is created, which still has to be balanced so that there are no vibrations when
running at high speed (typically up to 15 m/s) in the printing press.
The cylinder receives a base copper layer on its surface, which, among other things, serves to
achieve the specified diameter of the finished gravure cylinder.
For the application of another copper layer, which varies from print job to print job, there are
several methods that are described in the following sections (note: the top copper layer is twice
as hard (Vickers hardness approximately HV 200) as the base copper, so that this copper layer
has good cutting properties as regards the electromechanical engraving process):
The base copper layer is coated with an engravable copper layer (approximately 80 μm) in an
electroplating process as shown in the figure above. This thin layer only allows a one-time
engraving. The advantage of the thin layer technique is that all the gravure cylinders of one type
have the same diameter dimensions and less mechanical surface treatment is required after the
electroplating process than with thick layer processes (see below). The removal of the en-

15. 15
graving (after dechroming) is achieved by dressing or milling the copper. After this, a new
copper layer is applied. (In the special process known as copper recycling, the copper layer is
removed in an electroplating reversal process. In this process, an additional nickel barrier layer
of approximately 25 μm between the base copper and engraving copper is necessary.) The thin
layer technique is used in some 35% of cases, whereby the copper recycling method only
accounts for some 5%.
The process sequence for preparing an engraving cylinder is generally as follows:
• removing the used gravure cylinder from the gravure printing press;
• washing the gravure cylinder to remove residual ink;
• removing the chrome layer;
• removing the copper image-carrying layer, either chemically, by means of electroplating, or
mechanically;
• preparing the copper plating process (degreasing and deoxidizing, applying the barrier layer if
the Ballard skin method was employed);
• electroplating;
• surface finishing with a high-speed rotary diamond milling head and/or with a burnishing stone
or a polishing band;
• Etching or engraving (producing the image on the gravure cylinder);
• test printing (proof print);
• correcting the cylinder, minus or plus (i.e., reducing or increasing the volume of cells);
• preparing the chrome-plating process (degreasing and deoxidizing, preheating, and – if
necessary – sometimes polishing);
• Chrome-plating;
• Surface-finishing with a fine burnishing stone or abrasive paper;
• storing the finished cylinder or installing it directly in the gravure printing press.
Electromechanical Engraving (As Done In Paharpur 3P)

16. 16
The operations involved in electromechanical engraving are significantly shorter compared to the
etching process. Nowadays, they are normally controlled directly with the data recorded in
prepress. In this way the mounting of a scanning original on a separate scanning drum that runs
synchronously with the engraving machine is also no longer needed. Hence, the engraving
machine only consists of a lathe-like device, into which the prepared gravure cylinder is
mounted. The engraving procedure is similar to a rotating cutting process, but the cut is
intermittent (stylus frequency).
The gravure cylinder rotates during engraving at a constant surface speed (depending on the
screen at approximately 1 m/s).At the same time the diamond stylus of the engraving head moves
at a high frequency (4–8 kHz). The diamond penetrates the copper at different depths and
produces the cell.
The cells are equidistant from each other in the circumferential direction (direction of engraving)
due to the continuous circumferential velocity and the engraving frequency. Engraving of
neighboring tracks is semi-staggered. The lateral repeat length corresponds to the forward
motion of the engraving head per cylinder revolution in the shaft direction of the gravure
cylinder.
Depending on the width of the web to be printed, up to sixteen engraving heads (typically eight)
with styli are used for publication gravure printing. The burrs on the copper surface are usually
removed by a scraper which is fixed to the engraving head during the engraving process. The
cylinder must therefore only be lightly polished before it is used for a test print in a proofing
press, corrected manually in accordance with this, and then finally chrome-plated.

Dent can also due to synthetic roller on the poly as in dent in the rubber or synthetic will come on
different area on the poly but not side movement of that only up and down movement. As dent on
gravure cylinder will occur at that same place and same position.
• Defect can also occur due to oversized rubber roller in which ink from outside of gravure cylinder
comes on that impression or rubber roller and then ink from that roller comes on the poly film which
we are printing.
• So always rubber roller of size equal to poly width and lesser than gravure cylinder length is used.
• Misprint can also occur due imbalance of rubber roller as if a layer of ink keep on getting on that and
in the end the thickness of that ink layer become more than the thickness of poly film we are printing
so due to which rubber roller get imbalanced so at one end that roller is raised at one end due to
which at some area we get print and at some not or lighten.
• Diameter or circumference and length of the gravure cylinder are variable as according to the size of
image along length or width we can say.
• Here in Paharpur 3P gravure cylinder used are of same in length and circum but of different circum.
• Both cylinder and blanket cylinder moves at equal speed.
Here mainly electronic engraved cylinder with chromium plating is used.

• In this, it is made up of steel and is generally adjusted at an angle of 55 degree +- 5degree.
• Thickness of the doctor blade is about 0.15mm.
• Width of the doctor blade is about 45mm.
• The adjustment of doctor blade is done by keeping the blade just sharp edge above supporter and
pressing from one to other so that air filled between blade and supporter can be removed and then by
holding both blade and supporter we tight down it.
• Lamella: - It is the sharper edge of blade and its dimension is like this1.4/0.070mm here 1.4mm is
length of that sharp edge and 0.070mm is thickness of that sharper edge.
• DRYER: - This is the kind of system used for drying any applied chemical to polyfilm.

21. 21

QUALITY CONTROL DEPARTMENT
• TENSILE STRENGTH MACHINE - There are three types of tests are done that are:-
Sealstrength
 First of all in this strip of poly or substrate of about 1.5cmor 15mm in width we cut down.
 After this we fold that strip along the length wise.
 Than we seal folded mouth or end of that strip with pressure heating machine and we get
sealed strip.
 Now we put that strip with open mouth or end upper end of it in upper mouth and then
another end in the down holding mouth.
 In the end we start the machine in which downward mouth will towards down till that we
seal breaks we note down the reading.
 In this way we get seal strength and we can change according to that.
OperatingRange- NS40 to IT 500.
 Pneumatic operated cylinders with
individualsolenoidvalve.
 Specially designed heaters & reputed
electrical system.
 Machine working capacity- approx. 300

Tensile strength or Elongation strength:-
We have to measure the elongation or tensile strength along machine direction as well as cross
direction
 In this type we measure the elongation strength or stretch till poly or substrate breaks.
 First of all we take a strip of width 2.5 cm or 25 mm and 10 cm or 100 mm in length
 After that fixing it into both ends of the machine and then stretched until it breaks and in
this we note down the distance and load it can acquire or tolerate
 The unit of both the test is calculated in manpower means force/area.
 We also measure the adhesive strength of the poly films we use to adhere with each
other.
 This is done by splitting both layers of poly films.
Drop test or Dart impart test - it is also known as bursting strength.
 In this test we measure out that how much pressure or load it can hold if any substance poly
pouch gets dropped from certain height.
 First of all the substrate is tightened on hollow cylinder with some air pressure and then after
tightening again pressure of about 490mm Hg is applied to hold it tightly.
 Than pendulum of some weight is set at the height of 66 cm and dropped from there.
 We check it out whether the poly gets burst or not.

GSM and micron measuring machine
"LINUX" GSM TESTER - Electronic Model
The equipment is designed to measure/determine GSM of Paper, paperboard, fabric, PVC,
plastic and other materials. It measures 5 different sample sizes viz., 5x5cm, 10x10cm,
10x20cm, 20x20cm and 25x25cm. It displays Gsm of samples cut selected to size on a digital
indicator. Has printer port facility for printing and data transfer. The equipment comprises of an
electronic scale of 125 Gsm capacities and least count of 0.01 gm and templates. Two
templates are supplied with the equipment and other sizes are available on request.
There are two types of polyfilm are measured:-
• Printed
• Non printed
• Printed poly film:-
First of all we cut out the sample
• For printed poly films, first of all we measure the GSM of the printed substrate or poly film
sample.
• Then we split out coated film and remove the ink from printed substrate or poly film with ethyl
acetate or toluene properly.

41. 41
• After that we measure the GSM of both the film and then we find out the difference of both the
poly films (printed and cleaned).
• In the end we can measure out that GSM of the ink layer on the sample.
We can also measure the adhesive layer applied between poly films which are laminated by same
way as for printed we does.
Non printed polyfilm:-
• We cut out the poly film or substrate of size about 10*20cm and then we measure out the GSM of
that piece.
• Than we divide that value by 2.
• After that we multiply it with 100.
• In this way we measure out the GSM of the substrate and we can know uniformity of poly films.
WE CAN ALSO MEASURE MICRON OR THICKNESS OF THE POLYFILM BY DIVIDING
THE GSM OF THE POLYFILM BY DENSITY OF THAT POLYFIM ONLY.
MICRON = GSM / DENSITY
• For poly tube type poly film we measure just GSM simply along width 20 cm.
• For different poly films we measure GSM separately along the width to cover the whole poly.
• GSM unit is in gm
• 38 to 42 dyne charge is given on the polyfilm through corona discharge method.
Friction testermachine:-
• In this we measure both static and dynamic friction of poly films.
• In this we just keep the wide strip of poly with treated side up and then we keep some solid slab on
it.
• Than that solid slab is moved on that strip.

42. 42
• Reading which comes on that meter we note it down.
• The purpose of the friction testing is check whether more or less force to be applied to move the poly
film to be printed for e.g. if there is more friction in the poly then it will not move to required or vary
speed so in this way it will not properly printed or laminated or slitted or if coefficient of friction is
less than required it will not be controlled over the rollers as it will slide more than required.
• Treated and non treated both side are checked as treated side is checked so that when we keep each
poly on each other should not slip for e.g. lamination needed two layers on each other and to cut it
properly so that it moves under rollers properly, non treated side is checked for filling material in it.
• Here only we take dynamic friction of more concerned as in printing movable is there more
important rather than static friction we don’t take so much.
• Its unit is in Newton/meter *meter.
Opacity testing machine:-
This is the machine used for measuring the amount of light is getting transmitted through poly film.
• In this, we take a strip of poly and put in frame and then light is passed, then we note the percentage
of opacity.
• In this it is measured in percentage.
Treatment test:-
In this test, we check out which is the treated side, meaning on which side of poly film we had
increased the surface energy or charge.
• We take strip of adhesive tape and adhere to both the side of poly and pluck off then.
• And on which side it makes less noise than it is treated side.

Biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP)
When polypropylene film is extruded and stretched in both the machine direction and across
machine direction it is called biaxially oriented polypropylene. Biaxial orientation increases
strength and clarity.[13] BOPP is widely used as a packaging material for packaging products
such as snack foods, fresh produce and confectionery. It is easy to coat, print and laminate to
give the required appearance and properties for use as a packaging material. This process is
normally called converting. It is normally produced in large rolls which are slit on slitting
machines into smaller rolls for use on packaging machines.
Mostly used in Packaging of Biscuits, Snacks and chips.
White BOPP
 For food and confectionery packaging
 Suitable for single ply or lamination applications
 Suitable for VFFS and HFFS packaging applications
 Both sides heat sealable
 One side (external) corona treated for conversion
 Excellent ink adhesion for flexographic and rotogravure process
 High whiteness and gloss
Used in Product Labels.
BON Biaxially Oriented Nylon
Biaxially Oriented Nylon film, also known as BOPA film, is made of polyamide resin, which can be used
for a wide range of applications especially where high barrier requirements to gas,fat and transmission of
aroma are necessary. High resistance to impact punctures and pin holing.
Mostly used in OIL jobs like Sundrop due to Puncture Resistance.

Polyethylene
Polyethylene is the most produced plastic in the world, with which everyone daily comes into contact.
Polyethylene can be processed into soft and flexible as well as into tough, hard and strong products. It can be
found in articles of all kind of dimensions, from the simplest to the most complex shapes. It is used in
everyday appliances, packaging, pipes and toys.
Three main types
By making polyethylene more or less "dense” in the factory, there is a suitable type of material
available for every application. In practice one of the following types is used in 90% of the
applications.
LDPE: "low density” polyethylene
the oldest type. A soft, tough and flexible polyethylene type, used for strong, flexible consumer
items, like screw caps and lids. For a long time already, it is also used as insulation material. At
present the most popular application is foil, from which carrier bags, packaging material and
agricultural plastic are made. During the high water levels in Holland in the last years, the tough
strong LDPE foil served as an improvised reinforcement for the dikes.
HDPE: "high density” polyethylene
this is the sturdiest and most inflexible type. Its sturdy and somewhat tough character can be
used for a large range of applications. For example the well-known gft-container and a number
of everyday domestic products like bottles, clothes pegs and the handle of washing-up brush.
Although HDPE is quite heavy, it can also be used for paper-thin foil that is extremely light and
feels crispy. All of us use this type of foil daily; examples are sandwich bags, pedal bin bags or
packaging for vegetables, fruit or meats.
LLDPE: a mixture of both previous-mentioned types
with this polyethylene one can go into every direction. It has some features from both of the
previous-mentioned types. Both flexible and sturdy products are made from it. LLDPE is
generally used in mixtures with one of the previously mentioned materials. Amongst others, even
thinner foils can be produced. It is also used for multi-layer packaging. LLDPE is extremely
tough and inflexible. These features can be used for the production of larger items, like covers,
storage bins and some types of containers.
