Printing Machines are designed for industrial printing applications within the packaging and converting industry. Using advanced printing technology, these machines help manufacturers produce high-quality graphics, logos, text, and product information on packaging materials used to make bags and other packaging products.

W&H manufactures flexographic printing presses and other equipment for flexible packaging production. Depending on the specific model and configuration, its printing solutions can process materials such as BOPP film, CPP film, polyethylene (PE) film, paper, and other suitable substrates. Printed materials can subsequently be converted into bags, pouches, wrappers, or other packaging products.

These machines are suitable for packaging businesses that require accurate colour reproduction, consistent print registration, and efficient production across different designs and packaging requirements.

Key Applications

• Plastic Bag Printing: Printing logos, branding, and product information on compatible plastic films used for bags.
• Flexible Packaging: Producing printed materials for pouches, wrappers, and packaging bags.
• Food Packaging: Printing graphics and product information on suitable food packaging substrates.
• Retail and Consumer Packaging: Creating branded packaging for shops, manufacturers, and consumer goods.
• Industrial Packaging: Printing information and branding on compatible industrial packaging materials.
• Paper Packaging: Printing on suitable paper substrates when supported by the machine configuration.

Key Features and Benefits

• High-Quality Printing: Produces clear text, detailed graphics, and attractive colours.
• Consistent Print Registration: Helps maintain accurate alignment of printed colours and designs.
• Production Efficiency: Designed for industrial printing operations and demanding production schedules.
• Substrate Compatibility: Supports selected films and paper materials according to the machine specifications.
• Multicolour Printing: Available configurations accommodate different colour and design requirements.
• Automation Options: Selected models offer automated functions to support setup, monitoring, and production consistency.
• Flexible Production: Enables packaging converters to handle different print designs and product requirements, subject to machine capabilities.

Maintenance and Care

• Clean printing plates, anilox rollers, doctor blades, ink systems, and other relevant components according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
• Use compatible inks, cleaning solutions, and replacement parts.
• Inspect rollers, bearings, seals, and other wear components regularly.
• Follow recommended lubrication, calibration, and preventive maintenance schedules.
• Keep the machine and production area clean and free from dust, dried ink, and other contaminants.
• Ensure that trained personnel follow the manufacturer’s safety procedures during cleaning and servicing.

Storage and Handling

The machine should be installed and operated in a suitable industrial environment. During prolonged shutdown or transportation, protect exposed components from dust, moisture, corrosion, and physical damage. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for shutdown, preservation, transportation, and recommissioning.
