Fibre Drums for Printing Industry
Using fibre drums for printing cylinder packing is a common, effective, and protective method adopted in the printing and packaging industries—particularly for flexographic and gravure printing cylinders, which are precision-engineered and require secure handling.
Why Fibre Drums Are Ideal for Packing Printing Cylinders
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Cylindrical Shape | Perfectly matches the shape of printing cylinders, minimizing voids and movement. |
| Cushioning Compatibility | Easily accommodates foam inserts, end caps, or shock-absorbing liners to protect the cylinder. |
| Strength and Rigidity | Built to resist compression and impacts during storage and transit. |
| Moisture Protection | Available with moisture-resistant inner linings or coatings to protect engraved surfaces. |
| Custom Sizes | Can be tailored to fit specific cylinder lengths and diameters snugly. |
| Reusable & Recyclable | Environmentally friendly; drums can be reused multiple times and recycled. |
Key Design Features for Cylinder Drums
| Specification | Typical Range/Options |
|---|---|
| Inner Diameter | Custom to cylinder OD (usually 150–300 mm or more) |
| Drum Length | Based on cylinder length plus padding space |
| End Protection | PU foam, rubber gaskets, or molded plastic end caps |
| Lining | PE, PET, anti-static, or foil for moisture control |
| Closure | Snap-on plastic or metal lids, optionally lockable |
| Handles (optional) | For easier handling and loading |
Additional Protective Measures
- Foam-inserts or custom cradles to cradle the cylinder without scratching
- Anti-roll locking system inside the drum
- Humidity indicator stickers for export
- Double-wall or triple-wall fibre construction for heavy or large cylinders
