Good Anilox Roll Care Can Improve the Bottom Line

Storage, protection, handling

Anilox efficiency begins not at the press, but with anilox storage because of damage potential. Storage concepts vary from using the original container from the anilox supplier to mobile or static storage systems. The keys for any storage system follows.

We recommend physically storing the anilox in a manner that protects the engraving, and there are many elements to that end. First, you would include a design that keeps the anilox to the interior of the proposed storage, not exposing the engravings externally to passing hazards. Often it is a great idea to conceal anilox journals within the confines of the rack to keep anything from striking the journal and dislodging the anilox from the rack. Internalization of the anilox within the storage device also applies to stowing sleeve aniloxes.
