In Bangladesh, the textile and garment industry continues to grow as one of the largest contributors to national export earnings. To maintain high production quality in textile printing, Rubber Squeegees play a critical role—especially in screen printing machines used for fabric printing. Without a proper squeegee, even the best printing screen, ink, or machine cannot produce accurate colors, smooth coverage, or sharp outlines.
At Ahmed Engineering, we import and supply industrial-grade rubber squeegees in Bangladesh for all major flatbed and rotary textile printing machines. This article explains what rubber squeegees are, why they matter, and how to choose the right type for your factory.
What is a Rubber Squeegee?
A rubber squeegee is a precision tool used in screen printing to push printing paste or ink through a mesh screen onto fabric. It ensures consistency, accuracy, and efficiency during printing operations. The quality of the squeegee directly affects:
Print sharpness
Color penetration
Fabric finish
Production speed
Print durability
