Ripu Plastox — Industrial Plastic & Packaging Solutions
It is also the oldest process in our building — Ripudaman Graphics was founded on screen printing in 2000, making decals and industrial graphics for OEMs long before we moulded our first part. Twenty-five years later the craft is the same; the scale is not. Roll-to-roll automation now pushes up to 10,000 metres of printed film through the plant every day.
That heritage matters for a practical reason: colour discipline. Screen printing taught us Pantone formulas, registration and ink chemistry decades before most moulders thought about decoration at all — and that discipline now runs through every process we operate.
A fine polyester mesh is stretched drum-tight on a frame and coated with a light-sensitive emulsion, then dried in the dark.
The artwork film is placed over the screen and exposed to UV light. Exposed emulsion hardens; unexposed emulsion washes out — leaving open mesh exactly where ink should pass.
The screen is aligned over the substrate. Multi-colour jobs use one screen per colour, registered to a fraction of a millimetre.
Industrial ink is flooded across the screen, and a squeegee drives it through the open mesh onto the film or part in one clean stroke — a thick, even, opaque deposit.
UV or heat curing bonds the ink permanently to the plastic. The result shrugs off sun, rain, fuel and abrasion for years.
Printed rolls are inspected, then die-cut, laminated or slit into decals, labels, overlays and panels — ready to apply on the line.
