Anilox Roller Recommendations

Effect Coatings

The choice of the suitable anilox roller is of central importance for an optimal coating result. Depending on
the coating type, we recommend different engravings and cell volumes. For a better understanding, the
table below shows the engravings hexagonal and tri-helical. For further engravings (e.g. ART, TIF) please
contact us.

Preferred engravings are marked in bold letters. Please note that our recommendations are guidelines based
on experience from practice. Also parameters such as ruling, depth, angle and the wall-cell ratio of an anilox
roller determine the coating result.
