Apex International unveils Anilox Audit Program at PrintPack India 2025.
At PrintPack India 2025, Apex International made a significant impact with the launch of its Anilox Audit Program, enhancing print quality and operational efficiency. The global provider of anilox solutions, Apex has introduced its latest innovation and solutions meeting changing market challenges of printer customers.
The newly introduced Anilox Audit Program is designed to help printers maximize their operational potential. The Anilox Audit Program enhances the overall performance of printing operations by ensuring anilox function at their best. Additionally, proactive maintenance through regular audits helps identify potential problems early, preventing costly repairs and extending the lifespan of anilox rollers. By conducting comprehensive audits of anilox, Apex ensures printers maintain optimal performance, ultimately benefiting the entire printing process.
Mangesh Bhise, Sales Director at Apex International, emphasized the importance of the program: “This is a major need right now. Some companies have their own inspection systems, but there are no set protocols. As a global leader, we know how to conduct anilox audits – checking, inspecting, and certifying the condition of rollers, assessing volume reductions, and determining when refurbishing is needed.”
In addition to the Anilox Audit Program, Apex created print samples that highlighted how printers can achieve both consistency and flexibility with a limited set of anilox rollers. These samples, tailored for both wide-web and narrow-web markets, demonstrated how flexographic printing can cater to the rival the quality of rotogravure while maintaining the simplicity of flexo.
By utilizing advanced anilox technology, printers can now achieve high-definition prints with greater efficiency, reduced operational complexity, and minimized costs. The showcased samples at PrintPack India underlined Apex’s ability to deliver precision printing across diverse packaging applications.
Mangesh Bhise added, “At PrintPack we showcased not just our solutions but understood industry trends and challenges to ensure where we can add value. Our print samples were a testament to how a limited anilox set can still achieve high-quality, repeatable results.”
Innovating Beyond Anilox
Apex is not just focusing on anilox rollers; it is expanding its portfolio to include anilox protection, cleaning solutions, and composite sleeves. Apex has also been making moves in the embossing industry. “We stepped into this space globally two years ago, but we haven’t actively pushed it in India or Asia-Pacific yet,” adds Mr Mangesh. The introduction of high-durability wide-web composite sleeves, such as the HD sleeves, represents a breakthrough in lightweight and long-lasting solutions for printers.
With its continued investment in technology, innovation, and customer-centric solutions, Apex International remains a trusted partner for the printing industry. At the PrintPack India 2025 platform, Apex showcased its forward-thinking approach, strengthening its presence across multiple printing segments and setting new industry standards.
For printers looking to elevate their operations with superior anilox technology, Apex’s latest offerings provide the perfect combination of innovation, efficiency, and long-term value.
