The Future of Gravure Cylinder Packing: Strong, Lightweight Fibre Drums by Allies Containers LLP

Allies Containers LLP has been re-imagining packaging innovation with its cutting-edge gravure cylinder pack fibre drum solutions. These modern fibre drums deliver efficiency, strength, and sustainability, and are transforming the storage and transportation of gravure cylinders around the globe. More and more, the demand for lighter-weight and sustainable alternatives to metal containers is driving fibre drum solutions as the packaging solution of the future.

Understanding Gravure Cylinder Packaging

Gravure printing is a favored method for image reproduction in the packaging industries, producing high-quality images of even the tiniest details on flexible substrates.The gravure cylinder, which contains the engraved graphic, is one of the most valuable assets in a printing operation and should be protected when it is stored and during shipment.

Units traditionally protected by expensive, heavy metal or wooden crate packaging which is non-green, difficult to handle and subject to rust or other damage can use Gravure Cylinder Fiber Drum technology, which offers ideal protection vs. weight and eco-sustainability.

What are the Benefits of Using Fibre Drums for Gravure Cylinders?

Fibre drums are specifically designed for transport and handling of gravure cylinders over long distances.Fibre drums are made from multilayered kraft paper and will have resistant liners for added protection against impact and stability.

Here are some highlights of Fiber Drums:

1. Light & Sturdy: Increases the strength of your packaging while making them easier to handle.

2. Moisture Resistant: Prevent rust on metals and oxidation on sleeves and anilox wheels.

3. Sizes are Customizable: Different sizes of drums can be manufactured with increased or decreased diameter and length.

4. Cost Savings: Saving on shipping & handling costs.Sustainable: Recyclable. Product is sustainably manufactured. Green packaging descriptors.

Using fiber drums for your packaging provides physical protection to your gravure cylinders, but also contributes to the sustainable movement in contemporary manufacturing.

The Move Toward Sustainable Packaging

In this environmentally friendly time, consumers expect packaging materials to be both sustainable and performing.Fiber drums accomplish these formal needs very well. Fiber drums are mostly made from renewable materials and often perform while maintaining lower carbon footprint.

Fibre drums can be easily reused or disposed of, while metal drums are energy intensive during production and almost impossible to recycle. For any business looking to be eco-friendly, fibre drums are the logical choice.

Why Select Fibre Drums for Packaging Gravure Cylinders?

The evolution of logistics for the gravure print industry features packaging that is durable, lightweight and eco-friendly. The Gravure cylinder pack Fibre drum shines in these three areas.

1.Impeccable Protection

Fibre drums are constructed to absorb shocks and protect against damage while handling or transporting.The Fibre drum design keeps the cylinders protected and free of scratches.

2.Lightweight for Ease of Handling

The lightweight characteristic of Fibre drums reduces strain on personnel and allows for loading/unloading faster and safer.

3.Custom Fitting Design

Fibre drum manufacturers will custom fit the drum height and diameter for the gravure cylinder. Additionally, the manufacturer will also custom fit the cushioning to the cylinders.

4. Weather Conditions Resistance

Moisture and fluctuations in temperature can impact standard metal drums, while cylindrical fibre drums are given a coating that protects against those moisture conditions, and will stay dry

5. Cost & Energy Efficiency

Fibre drums provide savings on shipping costs and then savings on waste management that will continue to save money.

Industry Applications Outside of Printing

While designed for gravure cylinders, these fibre drums will also work for:

• Chemical and ink industries

• Food and pharmaceutical packaging

• Textile and adhesive material storage

• Export shipments of delicate metal components

Their adaptability makes fibre drums an ideal choice for any business seeking lightweight yet durable packaging.
