Paper Saved! Vtech.UV & EZ Gravteck Solve Printing Industry Cost Pain Point

2025-12-03

Vtech.UV & EZ Gravteck cut packaging gravure gripper shadow to 13mm via UV+mechanical optimization, fitting high-end packaging for cost reduction & compliance.

In the printing industry, paper costs account for over 30% of total material expenses. However, waste caused by excessive gripper margins in sheet-fed gravure presses has long been a major barrier to cost reduction—with a typical 20mm gripper shadow, enterprises lose at least 1.2㎡ of paper per 10,000 prints, and those with an annual output of 10 million prints waste over RMB 100,000 (≈USD 13,800) solely on this issue.
 
As a leading UV equipment manufacturer in China, Guangzhou Vtech.UV Co.Ltd leverages low-deformation UV curing technology to reduce paper expansion and contraction during printing. EZ Gravteck, a top Chinese sheet-fed gravure press maker, optimizes the fitting precision between grippers and impression cylinders. By joining forces, they developed an innovative solution combining "UV curing shape control + mechanical structure refinement," successfully cutting the gripper shadow width from 20mm to 13mm—paper waste reduction.
 
This technology has now been applied to EZ Gravteck’s first high-speed sheet-fed gravure press Model N300. For a medium-sized enterprise with 10 million annual prints, it can save over RMB 80,000 (≈USD 11,000) in paper costs yearly while reducing environmental pressure from waste paper disposal, setting a new benchmark for "cost reduction, efficiency improvement + green production" in the printing industry.
