Corrugated FAQs
Please see a selection of commonly asked questions regarding corrugated plate mounters. If you need to know more, please get in touch with our friendly team using the form below.
What’s the difference between pre-print and post-print corrugated plate mounting?
Pre-print mounting involves aligning plates for high-resolution graphics printed on linerboard/kraftliner prior to corrugation. Post-print mounting is used for printing directly onto corrugated board. Heaford offers mounters specifically designed for each application to ensure optimal accuracy and productivity.
Do Heaford corrugated plate mounters support proofing?
-
Yes, we offer mounter/proofer combinations that allow operators to verify plate alignment and register before production begins. This helps minimise waste and ensures consistent print quality from the first sheet.
