Gravure Printing Machine Terminology and Common Faults — A Bilingual Guide
Essential Chinese-English Reference for Gravure Press Operators and Maintenance Teams
2026-09-09
Gravure printing machines are the mainstream equipment for high-quality film printing in the packaging industry. They are widely used for printing on BOPP, PET, CPP, metallized film, and other substrates—delivering thick ink layers, high color saturation, and fine dot reproduction for premium packaging applications.
For international equipment procurement, technical communication, and operator training, accurate bilingual terminology is essential. This guide provides a comprehensive Chinese-English reference covering machine names, structural parts, control systems, common faults, daily maintenance, and emergency stop conditions.
