Overview of the main printing equipment for corrugated board direct offset printing

The rapid development of color carton in recent years is obvious to all in the industry. Direct offset printing of corrugated board is becoming more and more mature with the development of various technologies. For this huge potential market, famous domestic and overseas offset press manufacturers have developed. Corrugated paper for direct offset printing equipment. Here are just a few of the more interesting devices on the market:

1 KBA offset printing press: At the chma print 2005 exhibition, KBA's operators performed the exquisite product printing on 157 g copper plate paper on the KBA 105 press, and then replaced the substrate with paperboard to complete the paper from the scene. Converting different types of cardboard printing, the final direct printing quality of g-type corrugated cardboard (1ml-f1 in thickness) can be described as perfect.

The perfect printing quality of corrugated board is a strong proof of the mature offset technology of corrugated board. At the 2005 Chicago Printing Show, KBA once again demonstrated the printing capabilities of KBA 105 on 1.2mm thick corrugated cardboard. KBA's large-format offset printing machine - Rapide 130 ~ 162a printed substrate thickness range: 0.04 ~ 1.2ram. Rapida 185, 205 printed substrate range: 0.1 ~ 1.6ram. These large-format offset presses can directly print g, e, f corrugated cardboard. The KBA large-format printers currently purchased in China are mainly used for packaging and printing. For example, the KBA Rapida 162a purchased by Shenzhen Huali Packaging Trade Co., Ltd. is designed to provide customers with high-end, large-size, large-size color crates and corrugated boxes.

2 Roland printing press: Roland printing press has always been in the leading position in the field of packaging and printing. The existing models can directly print corrugated cardboard from medium to small format to super large format. Roland 500, 700 can directly print corrugated cardboard with a thickness of 1.omm, while the Roland 900 Series can directly print f-type corrugated cardboard with a thickness of 1.2mm. In the first half of this year, Suzhou Dongyi Packaging & Printing Co., Ltd. introduced Asia's first super-large-format offset printing equipment, the Man Roland 900xl (the largest printing format is 1300mm2x1850ram), and the equipment can be directly used in g-type and f-type. Corrugated paper for printing.

3 Heidelberg presses: Heidelberg cd series offset presses are tailor-made for package printing. cd74 can directly print corrugated paper with a maximum thickness of 0.8 mm, while cd102 can directly print 1.0 mm corrugated paper. The xl105 debuted at the drupa2004 exhibition provided a new choice for packaging printers. The thickest version of this machine can directly print 1.omm corrugated paper.

4 Offset Printing Machines in Japan: In Japanese offset presses, Mitsubishi's thick cardboard has a relatively strong print capability. Designed for cardboard efj. The model dij0nd3000lc, designed by @j, can print directly on corrugated cardboard with a thickness of 0.8mm. There is also diamond3000lxep~j thickness can reach 1.0mm. Akiyama printing machine also has a certain thick cardboard printing capacity. Its bt series offset printing machine can be printed on 0.8mm thick corrugated cardboard.

5 Beiren Offset Press: Beiren has also developed some printing equipment suitable for packaging products in the last two years, and has also done timely follow-up on large-format areas. Beiren 800 uses a double-diameter cylinder, which is more suitable for printing on thick cardboard and can also be directly printed on micro-corrugated cardboard with a thickness of 0.6 mm.

The color printing of corrugated boxes is an inevitable development trend. The characteristics of offset printing itself and excellent printing quality cater to the quality requirements of corrugated box printing and development. Offset direct printing corrugated paperboard now occupies a certain market share. With the improvement of carton printing quality requirements, direct offset printing corrugated board has a tendency of continuous growth. However, this does not mean that offset printing of corrugated board directly will dominate the future market of corrugated box color printing. The rise and development of new processes will coexist with traditional craftsmanship for a long period of time and complement each other.
