Products

Construction and copperplating

We can offer a full service. Our job starts in our plant with the construction of cylinders and with copperplating before engraving.

Grinding and polishing

Once the cylinders have been copperplated, they are ground and polished. These procedures guarantee their perfect geometry. At the end of this process the cylinders are ready to be engraved.

Autotypography Engraving

This type of engraving is still essential for some types of fabrication, such as textile engraving, which requires depth engraving.

Electronic engraving

Our advanced technology allows us to offer a high quality standard, thanks to the precision we achieve by scanning and computerizing the image.

Graphics department

Our graphics department, in close collaboration with the customer, plans and/or refines graphics files and data to set them up for engraving, producing working drawings.

Graphics-making takes advantage of highly qualified and creative human resources able to work with complete autonomy, of cutting-edge software and hardware , and can provide an ad hoc solution to a large number of packaging requirements.

Print test/cylinder proof

Before delivering to the customer, we carry out a test to make sure that the whole procedure has been completed successfully. This print test lets us run an additional check and make any necessary adjustments before delivery.
