Precision Built on Experience

Discover the engineering expertise, advanced technology infrastructure, and technical team behind JAFFA Gravure Crafts' manufacturing success.

About JAFFA Gravure

Built on Precision. Driven by Packaging Excellence.

Operating from our dedicated manufacturing plant in Sivakasi, Tamil Nadu, JAFFA Gravure Crafts is an established partner to the flexible packaging print industry. We specialize in producing custom-dimensioned, high-capacity flexible packaging solutions and pouches designed to survive heavy retail and transport cycles.

In B2B print applications, packaging quality directly influences production yields. Even minor surface anomalies, incorrect cell geometries, or poor material balance can result in costly print failures, substrate warping, and color mismatches. Our facility addresses these challenges through a fully integrated manufacturing pipeline where every stage is monitored.

Our in-house pre-press desk works directly with brand managers and packaging converters to translate creative layouts into color-separated, high-fidelity printed films. We supply custom packaging pouches that deliver consistent quality across millions of retail impressions.

Standard Operating Protocol

Step-by-Step Cylinder Engineering

Every cylinder moves through six specialized stages in our facility to guarantee durability, cell depth symmetry, and high-speed registration.

Watch our complete rotogravure cylinder engineering and flexible packaging manufacturing process in action.

01

MS Base Roller preparation

The core structural base roller is turned on precision lathes. We inspect dynamic balancing, shaft tolerances, and surface roughness to guarantee a vibration-free performance on the print press.

Design Pre-press prep
02

Copper Electroplating

The steel core undergoes acid copper electroplating. We monitor deposit thickness, temperature, and chemical concentrations to create a uniform, dense layer suitable for engraving.

03

Turning and Grinding

Turning and grinding processes ensure accurate shaping and smooth surface finishing of metal components. Advanced machinery removes excess material to achieve precise dimensions. This step improves product quality, durability, and performance.

Prepressing

Pre-pressing prepares the material for the final pressing process. It applies initial pressure to achieve the required shape and density. This step ensures uniformity, strength, and better finishing.

Mirror Polishing process
05

Engraving

Our advanced engraving machines create precise patterns for optimal ink transfer. This ensures accurate color reproduction and print quality. The process involves detailed calibration and alignment. It guarantees consistent results for every cylinder.

Electronic engraving styluses
06

Chroming

After engraving, a thin, hard chromium layer is deposited onto the cylinder surface. This protective layer increases durability and prevents wear during printing. The chromium coating ensures consistent performance and extends cylinder life.

Proofing

Proofing verifies cylinder performance before mass production.We conduct detailed ink coverage and color accuracy tests. This ensures the final product matches the design specifications. These validations prevent costly errors during large runs.

Our Operational Pillars

How our team approaches cylinder engineering and B2B client management.

Unmatched Precision

By limiting base roller roundness tolerances to single-digit microns, we protect your printheads and ensure high press registration.

Engineering Integrity

We use high-purity copper anode materials and chromium coatings to secure optimal cylinder run lifetimes.

Brand Confidentiality

We maintain strict digital access logs and artwork storage rules to safeguard B2B client design copyrights.

Technical Support

Our Sivakasi pre-press desk works directly with your plant managers to address run adjustments quickly.
