The CI flexo printing machine for flexible packaging is engineered for tight register control, high repeatability, and efficient drying across film, paper, and laminate webs. Choosing the right configuration makes a significant difference in throughput and print quality. For converters that prioritize fast job cycles, the High speed CI flexo printing machine uses servo-driven decks and automatic register control to maintain stable color-to-color accuracy at speeds up to 300 m/min. For large-format flexible packaging, the Wide web CI flexo printing machine features a reinforced central impression drum, wider unwind and rewind capacity, and independent tension zones to handle web widths above 1,000 mm without drift or wrinkling. Film-based applications benefit from the CI flexo printing machine for plastic film, which includes corona treatment, static elimination, and high-velocity drying for reliable ink adhesion on BOPP, PET, LDPE, and CPP. For paper-based structures such as pouches, sleeves, and wrappers, the CI flexo printing machine for paper provides adjustable nip pressures, water-based ink compatibility, and controlled web tension for clean print edges and low solvent retention.
The CI flexo printing machine for flexible packaging is available in several standard widths and speed ratings, with modular options for corona treating, web inspection, viscosity control, and lamination-ready outfeed. The main technical parameters are shown below.
