At Afflatus Gravures, our focus is simple: to deliver the right end result, predictably, quickly and consistently.
With over 20+ years of experience in the printing and packaging industry, we have grown to become one of the largest manufacturers of rotogravure printing cylinders in India. Our unwavering commitment to quality, technology and customer service has earned us the trust of some of the biggest names in the industry.
Today, Afflatus is evolving beyond conventional cylinder and plate manufacturing to become a technology driven solution partner for gravure and flexible packaging. We bring together expertise across Design, Prepress, Colour Management, Gravure, Flexo, Engraving, Electroplating and Surface Engineering to look beyond individual processes and focus on the final printed packaging result.
From precision engineered gravure cylinders, flexographic printing plates, ITR photopolymer sleeves and embossing dies to customised cell engineering and advanced coating solutions, we develop solutions around the specific requirements of each application.
We don't simply engrave cylinders. We engineer customised cell structures according to coating and layering requirements.
Our engineering approach considers:
Cell Volume Cell Depth Cell Opening Cell Geometry Screen Configuration Coating-Transfer Characteristics
Cell structures can be customised based on coating material, viscosity, substrate, required GSM, layer thickness, transfer direction and functional requirements.
This enables more precise, uniform and repeatable material transfer for conventional printing as well as advanced coating applications.
We are extending Afflatus's expertise in gravure, electroplating, cell engineering and surface engineering into emerging applications where precise and controlled material transfer is critical.
Our areas of focus include:
Conductive Coatings Printed Electronics RFID / NFC Functional Films Security Printing Defence Applications Micro Printing Speciality Coatings
For these applications, standard engraving is often not enough. Surface and cell structures need to be engineered according to the material, coating characteristics and functional requirements of the application.
By combining cell engineering, engraving, electroplating and coating-transfer knowledge, we work towards precise, uniform and repeatable material deposition.
At Afflatus, we bring multiple capabilities together under one integrated technology approach:
Design + Prepress + Gravure + Flexography + Engraving + Electroplating + Surface Engineering + Cell Engineering + Coating Transfer
These capabilities work together with one objective: to deliver predictable performance at the final application.
Because for us, the cylinder or plate is only one part of the process, what matters is how the complete solution performs in the final application.
