Four Core Characteristics Building Competitive Advantages in Corrugation Packaging Printing Machine

Four Core Characteristics Building Competitive Advantages in Corrugation Packaging Printing Machine

The widespread application of corrugated board flexo printing machines in the packaging field is closely related to their four core characteristics, which directly meet the core needs of packaging production enterprises.

1. High Efficiency and Speed, Adapting to Mass Production

In the packaging printing field, large order quantities and tight delivery cycles are the norm, and the high speed and high efficiency of corrugated board flexographic printing machines perfectly meet this demand. The printing speed of modern high-speed corrugated board flexographic printing machines can reach 200-400 meters per minute, and some high-end equipment can even achieve higher speeds. At the same time, the order change and adjustment process of the machine has been continuously optimized. With the adoption of quick plate change systems and automatic registration devices, the preparation time has been significantly shortened, effectively improving the comprehensive production efficiency of the equipment. It can easily meet the needs of large-scale mass production and help enterprises reduce the unit production cost.

With the continuous improvement of global environmental awareness, the packaging industry has increasingly strict requirements for environmental protection, and the advantages of corrugated board flexographic printing machines in environmental protection have become more prominent. The water-based inks or UV inks used do not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), causing no pollution to the environment and being more friendly to the health of operators. At the same time, the ink consumption of flexographic printing is relatively low, and the accurate inking of the anilox roller reduces ink waste. In addition, the machine itself has low energy consumption. Compared with gravure printing machines, it can save a large amount of electric energy during the production process, which is in line with the current development trend of "green printing" and helps enterprises achieve sustainable development.

For packaging production enterprises, cost control is the key to enhancing competitiveness, and corrugated board flexographic printing machines have significant advantages in terms of cost. Firstly, the printing plate cost is low. Flexographic printing plates are made of photosensitive resin, with a relatively simple production process, short cycle, and much lower cost than gravure printing plates. Secondly, the ink cost is low. The raw material price of water-based inks is relatively affordable, and the consumption is small. Thirdly, the maintenance cost of the equipment is also low. The structure is relatively simple, there are few wearing parts, and the maintenance operation is convenient, which reduces the equipment operation and maintenance pressure of enterprises. These advantages make flexographic printing an ideal choice for small and medium-sized packaging enterprises to achieve low-cost production.

Corrugated board comes in a variety of specifications, from single-layer corrugation to multi-layer corrugation, with different thicknesses and materials. At the same time, the requirements for colors and patterns in packaging printing are becoming increasingly rich. The corrugated board flexographic printing machine has strong adaptability and can be compatible with corrugated boards of different thicknesses and weights. Whether it is the thick corrugation used for transport packaging or the thin corrugation used for sales packaging, stable printing can be achieved. In terms of color performance, through the configuration of multi-color groups (usually 2-6 colors, which can be expanded according to needs), it can meet the color reproduction requirements of most packages, realizing full coverage from simple logo printing to complex pattern printing, and adapting to the packaging needs of food, electronics, daily chemicals, logistics and other industries.
