COPPER PLATING

COPPER PLATING: Expertise that Gives Life to Steel Cylinders | Mirror-like Surfaces with Electrolysis

Everything starts with a solid foundation. Just as a building cannot be built on a weak foundation, a perfect print cannot be built on a low-quality steel body. We, as COPPER PLATING, lay this foundation flawlessly using the electrolysis method. We take your steel cylinders and coat them with a mirror-shiny, hard, and homogeneous layer of copper. This process ensures that the copper adheres to the cylinder with millimeter precision thanks to its "high adhesion strength" and creates a smooth surface with "perfect leveling." This clean surface prepares the most ideal ground for the next stage, the gravure (engraving) process. In short, we write the alphabet of print quality.


Product Features

  • Hard Copper, Solid Surface: Our coating is hard enough to withstand the gravure process and long-term use. It doesn't scratch or wear out easily.
  • Mirror-like Brightness: The cylinder surface we deliver is so bright that you can instantly see even the slightest error on it. We don't make mistakes, that's another thing.
  • Flawless Adhesion: Thanks to our electrolysis technique, the copper is completely locked onto the steel surface. You won't have problems like delamination or peeling.

  • Homogeneous Thickness: The copper thickness is equal at every point of the cylinder. This prevents tone differences in printing. There is no room for sloppiness.

  • Gravure-Ready Infrastructure: This coating, combined with our POLISHMASTER service, creates a perfect duo for the gravure process.

Things to Consider

  • Condition of the Steel Cylinder: The surface of the steel cylinder to be plated must be clean, free of oil and rust. If the foundation is solid, the building will be solid.
  • Technical Details: It is important to clearly inform us of the copper plating thickness and other technical specifications you need. Know what you want, and we'll do our best.

  • Careful Handling: These "mirror" surfaces are sensitive after plating. They must be handled and stored carefully until the next process.

  • This is a Preparation Process: Remember, this service is the first and most important step in preparing your cylinder for gravure and printing. This is just the beginning.
