The Contest of Global Top Forces: An In-Depth Analysis of the Top 10 Gravure Press Rankings Worldwide

Introduction

Gravure printing, renowned for its full ink saturation, rich gradation, strong three-dimensional effect, and high print durability, holds an unshakable dominant position in high-end packaging, publishing, anti-counterfeiting, and specialty material printing. Its core equipment the gravure press represents cutting-edge industrial machinery integrating precision mechanics, electronic control, material science, and color management. Globally, only a handful of enterprises possess the capability to research, develop, and manufacture high-end gravure presses, representing the highest level of industry development. This article aims to provide a professional, in-depth analysis of globally recognized top-tier gravure press manufacturers, compiling a top ten ranking based on technical strength, market share, innovation capability, and brand reputation, serving as an authoritative reference for industry professionals.

It is important to note that an absolute number one ranking is difficult to define in the highly segmented and specialized gravure printing market, as different brands have their own specializations across various application fields (such as flexible packaging, rigid packaging, decorative materials, etc.). Therefore, this ranking focuses more on a comprehensive assessment of each brand's overall strength.
