GRA International Gravure Award 2025 – Gravure printing in the spirit of innovation and sustainability
The Global Rotogravure Association (GRA) has announced the winners of this year’s International Gravure Awards. The awards ceremony took place during the International Gravure Days from October 20 to 22, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza Florya in Istanbul and honored outstanding achievements in innovation, packaging design, and sustainable production.
In an industry caught between digitalization, cost efficiency, and environmental responsibility, the award-winning projects impressively demonstrated that gravure printing can continue to play a leading role in high-quality packaging production in the future.
Silver Award – Innovation: AST system from Enulec replaces adhesive tapes
The Silver Award for Innovation went to ENULEC for its newly developed AST technology. The electrostatic system replaces conventional adhesive tapes on the rewinder. The solution reduces maintenance costs, increases machine availability, and ensures more stable production—both in gravure printing and in laminating and coating applications. With this practical development, ENULEC is setting new standards for efficiency and process reliability in industrial production.
This year’s winners of the GRA International Gravure Award clearly demonstrate that gravure printing is successfully reinventing itself. Digitalization, color management, process automation, and material innovation are increasingly merging into an integrated production system that is both economically efficient and environmentally responsible.
