Agergaard Graphic Supplies develops, manufactures and internationally distributes high-perfomance flexo print consumables. Our specialty is application-specific end seals as well as steel and plastic doctor blades, which are essential to achieve consistently high print quality and production output from the flexographic press. We support flexible packaging printers in optimizing their end seal and doctor blade setup in the chamber doctor blade system by matching them to the individual printing parameters. For example, in short-run label printing with UV-based inks and frequent ink changes, the requirements for seals and blades are considerably different than in long-run printing of film packaging with solvent-based ink and high printing speeds. The benefits of optimized end seals and doctor blades include increased press uptime, less ink loss and material waste, minimized setup and cleaning times, and thus overall improved press efficiency. Agergaard Graphic Supplies draws on a pool of high-quality raw materials and state-of-the-art production technologies to manufacture perfect fit end seals and doctor blades for customers in more than 80 countries worldwide.
