Explore our signature array of high-capacity container printers, multi-layer sheet extrusion lines, and heavy-duty auxiliary machinery built for round-the-clock manufacturing plants.
In the modern packaging landscape, visual branding on rigid plastic containers is paramount. The global market demand for high-speed, 6-color plastic cup printing systems has surged as global fast-food chains, dairy conglomerates, and beverage manufacturers scale up operations. High-capacity dry offset printing remains the standard for decorating cylindrical and tapered cups, buckets, and lids manufactured from raw polymers like Polypropylene (PP), Polystyrene (PS), Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET), and Polylactic Acid (PLA).
Industrial printing operations demand not just color accuracy but high speeds (up to 400 cups per minute), minimal downtime, and rapid changeover. To achieve these metrics, leading manufacturers have transitioned from classic mechanical gear-driven assemblies to servo-driven stations. This shift enables precise ink transfer, automatic registration systems, and micro-adjustments, ensuring zero-defect output for complex, high-definition designs.
Our proprietary technical path integrates precision mechanical engineering with smart control architectures to minimize raw material waste and optimize output quality.
Enhances the surface tension of plastic cups (raising dyne levels on PP, PE, and PET surfaces) to secure superior ink adhesion and prevent print peeling during high-speed runs.
Utilizes micro-adjustable ink fountains alongside high-accuracy rubber and copper rollers, ensuring uniform distribution of heavy paste UV-curable inks onto the cliché plates.
Dry offset process transfers ink layers from plate cylinders onto a single rubber blanket. The combined 6-color image is printed onto the curved cup surface in one pass.
High-intensity UV-curing chambers instantly dry and polymerize the printed ink layers. The result is a scratch-resistant, glossy finish safe for food packaging applications.
Features counting and pneumatic discharge mechanisms that stack printed cups onto a conveyor, reducing human intervention and maintaining hygiene standards.
Centralized HMI touch screens allow operators to adjust printing speeds, ink flow, and diagnostics in real time, supporting industry 4.0 integration.
From raw plastic granules to packaged and printed cups: We offer a complete, automated system.
Polymer granules are extruded into high-quality plastic sheets.
Plastic sheets are molded into cups, lids, or boxes under heat and pressure.
Cups are processed through corona and printed using dry offset technology.
Finished products are counted, stacked, and wrapped in film.
