HIGH-PRECISION Engraved Printing Rolls
Superior Ink Release
At PST, laser engraving is the final step in the preparation of our anilox rolls. Our highly precise and quality-controlled engraving process ensures that each characteristic of the roll meets your specifications, providing a smooth and consistent ink release. Our technology and process control gives you the choice between two unmatched families of anilox rolls

-- PROLINE TM and NOVALINE TM -- each offering superior performance based on your critical requirements.
Proline Tm
Having the proper cell volume and structure is necessary for accurate color reproduction. PST can verify consistent cell volume because we use the latest process measurement technologies.
Novaline Tm
NOVALINE™ series engravings are obtained using the latest laser technology, where the beam is deflected and modulated at high speed to create a digital definition of each cell.
Most popular pattern in use today. Transfers ink to the plate easily producing uniform structures. Cell angle does not interfere with plate angle.
The SLR engraving process is highly resistant, this technology is part of the standard 60° engraving, so switching to SLR is simple and immediate.
UVGOLD engraving has a very low ratio between volume and cell depth, making it suitable for highly viscous (UV) inks. Maximum achievable volume for a given screen count is increased by 20% to 30%.
ARTGOLD imprints using the Anilox Reverse Technology (ART), raising “pins“ between the cells. It has become a standard for offset coating, and for laying water-based and UV adhesives and coatings. It is perfect for high opacity white ink.
The HELICAL engravings open structure offers a much better release for the gravure and coater applications. Optimizes the use high viscosity materials, and high volume capacity operations.
ISF engraving (Ink Spitting-Free) is effective in preventing spitting. The use of channel engraving allows the ink to flow within the engraved channel across the anilox surface, decreasing the ink build-up and hydraulic pressure of the blade.
NOVASILVER increases the print density by 10% without any specification changes. Rolls perform at optimal levels, and are highly efficient, even on highly absorbent substrates. The structured engraving improves ink release when using water-based inks.
TIFG engraving allows for a high density ink lay-down. Good for highviscosity materials. The continuous channels in the engraving allow the coating materials to permanently flow.

Poiché le fascette EcoFloat™ sono realizzate con poliolefine a bassa densità, fanno la differenza per i riciclatori di PET nella fase cruciale del riciclaggio tra l’affondare e il galleggiare. Il materiale delle fascette galleggia e ciò consente una netta separazione dai fiocchi di PET più pesanti che affon- dano sul fondo delle vasche di lavaggio. Questa facile separazione costituisce la base della resa di fiocchi di PET di alta qualità che si possono utilizzare nel riciclaggio da bottiglia a bottiglia, chiudendo il ciclo. EcoFloat™ è stato approvato da EPBP (European PET Bottle Platform EPBP).

network of CCL Label sites, we are able to convert the recycling-friendly material into EcoFloat sleeves and supply those with short turnaround times to packaging lines. This initiative will enable our customers to boost the recyclability of their packaging!”
As EcoFloat™ sleeves are made from low density polyolefins, they make the difference in the crucial sink/float recycling step at PET recyclers. The sleeve material floats and this allows for a clean separation from the heavier PET flakes that sink to the bottom of the washing tanks. This easy separation forms the basis of the yield of high-quality PET flakes that can be used in bottle-to-bottle recycling, closing the loop. EcoFloat™ has been nostro impegno per promuovere il riciclaggio della plastica e fare passi verso un’economia circolare, come affermato quando abbiamo firmato il Global Commitment of the New Plastics Economy guidato dalla fondazione Ellen MacArthur. In futuro, i governi fisseranno obiettivi per i tassi di riciclaggio dei rifiuti urbani. Raggiun- gerli non sarà fattibile senza investire in tecnologie nuove per i materiali di imballaggio che supportano il “Design for Recycling”. endorsed by the European PET Bottle Platform EPBP. “Our investment is part of our commitment to boost plastic recycling and take steps towards a circular economy as stated when we signed the Global Commitment of the New Plastics Economy led by the Ellen MacArthur foundation. In future, governments will set targets for recycling rates in municipal waste. Reaching these will not be feasible without investing in new technologies for packaging materials that support ‘Design for Recycling’. As a floatable, low density polyolefin sleeve, EcoFloat™ fulfills the requirements as defined in packaging design guidelines”, concluded Birkner.
Essendo una fascetta in poliolefina galleggiante a bassa densità, EcoFloat™ soddisfa i requisiti definiti nelle linee guida per la progettazione degli imballaggi”, ha concluso Birkner.
