High-Performance Digital Label Press for On-Demand Self-Adhesive Label Production with Plateless UV Printing Technology
Shanghai Honghua Digital Equipment Co., Ltd. Digital Label Press eliminates platemaking, generates production-quality self-adhesive labels, trademarks, and color-printed rolls. This smart printing machine is tiny (2m x 1.5m x 1.9m) and built to last extended industrial usage with a 1500 KG structure. The device offers 0.005 mm repeat positioning accuracy with 322 mm printing width, having 20 kW operating power and an integrated LED + conventional dual curing technology. Our plateless system can handle substrates from 0.02 mm to 1 mm thickness at speeds that revolutionise short-run and multi-SKU production processes with 20 years of manufacturing expertise and 13 technology patents.
Why Choose Our Advanced Digital Label Press?
Traditional flexo and offset techniques need costly plate preparation, extensive set-up times and wasteful make-ready. Our technology alters this paradigm with quick start, zero plate expenditures. It enables secondary printing on the reverse, including overprints in any colour, making it appropriate for complex label designs.
Multi-stage negative pressure and full-circuit ink temperature management from main cartridges benefits your manufacturing operation. Provides colour consistency under all ambient conditions. The ink circuit automatically turns off to activate vacation mode within 1 minute, saving your investment during production interruptions.
The base plate is machined to an ultrahigh accuracy and by means of many heat treatments it is permanently non-deforming. Thanks to splicing technique the whole web width of 322 mm may be printed without interruption. Exclusive slit LED technology prevents light leaking and printer clogging in long term use.

Industries Served and Application Scenarios
Serialised bar codes and multi-language compliance labelling are utilised by pharmaceutical and nutraceutical converters. The system offers 100% fidelity for changeable data printing, which is vital to track-and-trace. Craft beer and speciality food companies want to make regular SKU changes on premium textured or metallic surfaces, without plate changeover delays.
Industrial chemical businesses create GHS labels on synthetic PE and BOPP. The cured product is resistant against UV, dampness and aggressive chemicals. Short-run seasonal cosmetics packaging with complex gradients and spot effects.
Print shipping labels, promotional stickers and inventory tags on demand for retail and logistics. Instant-start eliminates wasting of pre-printed material. Security printing combines micro-text and holographic overlays to prevent counterfeiting.
Intelligent Protection and Quality Assurance
The Digital Label Press has automated detection to safeguard the printheads from foreign objects during unattended operation. Inline sensors monitor substrate tension and edge positioning to preserve long-run registration. The integrated printing equipment provides 0.005 mm accuracy for color-to-color registration as well as fine text and delicate drawings
Full-circuit temperature control eliminates banding and mottling due to viscosity fluctuations. Multi-stage negative pressure systems provide stability for substrate handling as the weight of material changes. Your quality control personnel may do ASTM D3359 adhesion testing and ISO/IEC 15416 barcode verification to provide consumer confidence.
The technique of dual cure combines instant LED fixing with conventional finalisation to enable ink adhesion on non-porous surfaces. This hybrid approach provides reliable rub resistance, without requiring off-line processing.
Operational Flexibility for Modern Converters
TIFF and PDF inputs work nicely with prepress operations. Thin security labels for feed material widths from 75 to 350 mm suit mid-width product packaging. Large 800 mm rolls reduce changeover frequency in large volume operations.
The 20 kW AC 380V power supply is compatible with industrial electrical infrastructure. Industrial Air Requirements 0.6-0.8 MPa Compressed air systems of conversion plants from thin films to thick paper substrates with material thicknesses of 0.02 mm to 1 mm.
Activates vacation mode for 60 seconds to safeguard ink systems during weekends and maintenance windows The novel design eliminates the nozzle obstruction without any cleaning solutions or waste.

FAQ
Q: Is this press suitable for food safe packaging?
A: Yes, we use low migration UV inks that meet the Swiss Ordinance guidelines for non-direct food contact applications. Third-party testing results are available upon request.
Q: How does colour quality compare to offset lithography?
A: Our CMYK ink set delivers 90-95% Pantone Solid Coated library coverage with Delta E values often below 2 when correctly profiled. Extended gamut setups are offered for demanding brand colour matching.
Q: What is the period between printhead maintenance?
A: Trillions of droplets. We propose quarterly preventive maintenance, including nozzle inspections and filtering system inspection, to maximise uptime and output quality.
Q: Do the substrates need to be coated or treated in any way?
A: Many commercial label materials will work directly, however the best results are achieved on substrates with 38-42 dyne surface energy. Corona treatment or primer application guarantees ink anchoring on difficult films.
Q: At what run length does digital become more inexpensive than flexo?
A: Usually the break-even mark is 3 to 5 thousand linear meters, depending on the intricacy of the operation and the cost of the material. This saves on plate expenses and make-ready waste. Digital is a good option for versioned work and rush orders.
