Ayush Agrawal

Gravure is an intaglio process, in that the printing image is in recessed form. The printing image consists of recessed cells engraved in a metal image cylinder. This image cylinder runs in an ink duct containing low viscosity liquid ink. The cells and the surface of the cylinder are consequently flooded with ink. A metal doctor blade held against the rotating cylinder then scrapes the surplus ink from the non-image surface of the cylinder. The printing substrate, usually in continuous (web) form, is held against the cylinder by an impression roller so that transfer of the ink takes place.

  1. You growl if anyone says “Dabba banaate ho” (you make boxes)
  2. You follow your experience and knowledge to open a pack, rather then mere tearing or twisting it.
  3. You can spend countless hours in retail stores or hyper marts simply by ‘just’ looking at the packaging of different products
  4. You click immediately any beautiful, creative or innovative packaging that you come across.
  5. You cringe when someone says “cartoon” to your favourite CARTON box.

Plastics & Environment Survey Results

10 Aug 2018
Chhavi Aggarwal

During World Environment Day 2018, the theme was "Beat Plastic Pollution" and slogan was "moving towards  a plastic-free future". But don't you think blaming plastics alone is not right. It is true disposable plastics, bottles and non-recyclable waste is the worry of every one but banning all the plastics is definitely not the solution. 


There are ways which by which we can reduce plastic pollution but we have to make efforts to follow them. Simply banning a laminate or a PET bottle can never give a satisfactory solution to this global problem.
