Acme Rolltech, an Indian leader in anilox rolls and sleeves, has unveiled its new engraving technology, Acme Supercell (ASC) at Printpack 2025. According to Sandeep Sharma, director, Acme Rolltech, the company is redefining how hexagons are used.
“Everyone in the flexo industry knows that the hexagonal cell structure is used in 95% of applications. What we are doing is redefining how hexagons are used. Traditionally, hexagonal cells have had slightly irregular shapes, but with our latest engraving technology and advanced coating, we can create a flat-bottomed cell. This ensures a cleaner structure, more consistent ink transfer, and improved print repeatability,” Sharma said.
“With this new engraving technology, the process is more digitized and requires less human intervention. If you purchase a 1000 LPI, one BCM roll today and return two years later for the same specification, you will get identical results. It is less dependent on the operator. With digitized parameters, you simply input the data into the system, and the laser does the engraving,” he added.
Sharma said that Acme employs special processes that eliminate issues such as scoring lines and ceramic wear. “As technology evolves and new structures emerge, we wanted to reinforce that the hexagon remains the best choice,” he said.
Talking about Printpack, he said it is a unique exhibition that brings together multiple segments, including offset, box, corrugation, and flexible packaging. “It is an excellent platform for us to engage with both existing and potential customers and showcase our latest technology. With all packaging segments under one roof, Printpack provides a valuable opportunity for collaboration and industry growth,” Sharma concluded.
