Corrugated Doctor Blades
for High-Performance Flexographic Printing

TruPoint® doctor blades are a critical corrugated press supply, engineered to control ink, protect anilox rolls, and improve print quality on corrugated flexo presses.

What are corrugated press supplies?
Corrugated press supplies are the consumables and components used to operate a corrugated flexographic printing press, including doctor blades, inks, printing plates, and anilox-related components. These supplies directly impact print quality, press uptime, operator safety, and total operating cost. Doctor blades are one of the most critical corrugated press supplies because they control ink metering and consistency on the anilox roll.

Choosing the Right Corrugated Doctor Blade
Corrugated printers typically choose between UHMW and EDGE doctor blades based on graphic requirements, press conditions, and whether they are replacing steel blades.

The configurations shown for each product is our recommendation for this market and application. Additional configurations are available for some materials including alternate widths, thicknesses, and profiles beyond the recommended options listed above.

Doctor Blade Configurations for

Corrugated Press Supplies

Corrugated presses use different doctor blade configurations to control ink transfer and print quality.
The most common corrugated press supplies include enclosed chamber doctor blade systems and single doctor blade systems. Each configuration affects ink metering, press cleanliness, anilox protection, and overall corrugated print performance.

Enclosed chamber doctor blade systems are commonly used corrugated press supplies that provide sealed ink delivery, consistent metering, and reduced ink waste on corrugated flexographic presses.

Single doctor blade systems use an open ink tray and a single metering blade to control ink on the anilox roll. This configuration is often used in corrugated printing applications with lower ink volumes or simpler press setups.

Q: What doctor blade configuration is best for corrugated printing?
A: The best doctor blade configuration for corrugated printing depends on press design and ink requirements. Enclosed chamber systems offer cleaner operation and consistent ink metering, while single doctor blade systems provide a simpler setup for certain corrugated press applications.
