At Labelexpo Stork Prints will have the exclusive premier of the brand new Gravure Sleeves Program in North America. This program consists of light weighted sleeves and light weighted adapters. The completely reengineered gravure sleeves are based upon a one metal technology, direct engraveable nickel. The user-friendly nickel sleeve material is also a much less of a hazard for the environment, than for instance cupper plate with chrome.

Besides the current process of EME (electromechanical engraving), the engraveable nickel sleeves can also be engraved by Stork Prints’ direct laser engraving systems. The laser technique engraves images onto sleeves in a fully digital, one-step process - simply engrave your desired design and the sleeve is ready to print. It eliminates costly products like film and time-consuming processes such as exposure, washing and drying. No chrome plating is needed, which saves handling and also contributes to the environmental protection. The sleeve is sustainable: after usage, the sleeve can be scrapped and the nickel can be re-used for new sleeve production.

The sleeves are light weighted -5 to 20 pounds-, that will simplify handling as compared to heavy cylinders. Sleeves will thus reduce the need for large stocks of cylinders. The sleeves are available in any repeat size from 12” to 42” and in printing widths up to 75”.

The Program is completed with Stork Prints’ adapters, being the bridge between mandrel and sleeve. This Gravure Sleeves Program will reduce the stock of cylinders and will even further decrease handling costs. Sleeves can be mounted in and outside the machine and will reduce set-up times dramatically.
