Revolutionary Plate-Free Technology for Modern Digital Label Machine Production

The conventional printing processes include costly plate manufacturing, long preparation time and loss of materials. Our device revolutionises your process by imaging digital artwork right into the substrate, no plates required.

This revolutionary technology allows you to change jobs instantly. Run many patterns in one go, no down time. It’s the fit technology for the small-volume, multi-design and rush-order printing applications that haunt contemporary packaging operations.

The device supports TIFF, PDF and other common types of files. Upload your design and start manufacturing instantly. This lean technique saves your time to market and yet maintains the same print quality.

Advanced Dual-Curing System for Print Durability

We are pioneering new industry norms with our patented LED + conventional dual-cure technology. The slit LED technology has negligible light leakage and prevents printer clogging during prolonged operation.

The curing technique allows for immediate fixing of the ink on different surfaces. Your labels are rub resistant and chemically durable right out of the printer. This makes them reliable for demanding applications such as beverage ice-bucket immersion and severe industrial settings.

Temperature control systems keep the ink at a consistent temperature throughout the manufacturing run. Thermal control for the whole circuit begins with the primary ink cartridges, ensuring  printing in all seasons and under all environmental circumstances.

Precision Engineering with Patented Innovation

Repeat positioning precision of the included printing units is 0.005 mm. This ultrahigh accuracy guarantees flawless registration in four-color CMYK printing and secondary overprinting applications.

Several heat treatments of the machine foundation are carried out. This provides a non-deforming base that will remain in true alignment for decades of service. Patented splicing technique delivers smooth printing throughout the whole 322 mm width.

Our innovative ink circuit architecture allows for vacation mode activation in less than 1 minute when powered off. This function protects printheads during downtime in production, and increases component life. Intelligent printhead protection for all processes with automatic foreign object detecting systems.

Comprehensive Technical Specifications

Versatile Material Compatibility and Application Range

The Digital Label Machine accepts media thickness from 0.02 to 1.0 mil. You may work with different substrates such as BOPP, PE, PET, textured papers and synthetic films.

Feed material widths from 75 mm up to 350 mm. Roll maximum diameter for unwinding and rewinding is 800 mm. This versatility may be used for a number of manufacturing needs from small pharmaceutical labels to large industrial stickers.

Multi-stage negative pressure design guarantees steady feeding of the material. Your output retains a steady tension control on lengthy runs. This avoids creases, misregister and other typical web handling difficulties.

Industrial-Grade Performance for Demanding Environments

Micro-text readability and serialised QR code functionality are beneficial for pharmaceutical applications. The system enables Variable Data Printing for track and trace compliance and anti-counterfeiting.

The device is used by craft beverage makers for short-run, high-SKU variation labels. Premium aesthetics meets moisture resistance in ice bucket durability. We collaborate with chemical and industrial customers to manufacture GHS certified labels resistant to UV and chemical wear.

The 20 kW operational power allows for continuous high speed manufacturing. Industrial air supply needs 0.6-0.8 MPa Ensure dependable pneumatic operations. The AC 380V power supply can operate stably in a three-shift production setting.

Global Manufacturing and Logistics 

We have production bases all around China to meet your demands on the spot. Warehouses in Southeast Asia make global logistics and exports run smoothly.

Professional export packing for the Digital Label Machine will preserve your investment throughout transit. Standard solid wood casings are fumigated and include multi-layer shockproof foam protection. Each precision component is individually packed in moisture-proof packaging for utmost protection.

We can support FOB (Shanghai/Ningbo), CIF, DAP trading conditions. Normally, the domestic customs declaration will be completed within 1-3 working days. We provide competent support in documents for destination-country clearance procedures.

FAQ

Q: At what manufacturing levels is this system cost effective?

A: The product is to flexographic printing for runs less than 2,000–3,000 linear meters owing to the elimination of plate expenses and reduction of setup waste. This moves the break-even point in a positive direction for shorter runs and more design variability.

Q: Does substrate pre-treatment affect compatibility?

A: Some substrates do benefit from the use of a digital primer or topcoat depending on your materials. This optimises the ink's surface tension and adherence. Our technical staff advises on installation, according to substrate specificities.

Q: How do you ensure the colours are consistent from batch to batch?

A: Daily calibration using built-in sensors and regular ICC profiling compensates for environmental factors, such as humidity. This procedure ensures that the Delta E values are kept below 2.0 between various manufacturing lots.

Q: Can the machine work with specific inks?

A: Yes, the system can be configured to support even high-opacity white ink for backgrounds on labels. “Application of silver substrates or digital cold foiling technologies to achieve metallic effects for premium brand applications.

Q: What is the anticipated life of the printhead?

A: With good maintenance and filtering, industrial-type piezo printheads usually last 2 to 5 years. The lifetime depends on the duty cycle and chemistry of the ink. Lifetime technical assistance for the best possible component life.
