How to Select the Right Machine
The right machine configuration should be selected after checking the foil or film type, roll width, reel diameter, print repeat length, number of colours, drying requirement, ink system, registration accuracy, power availability and operator skill level. For pharma packaging, the machine should support stable web tension, clean impression transfer, readable batch details and repeatable print quality during long production runs.
- Web handling: smooth unwind and rewind arrangement helps control foil wrinkles, telescoping, web breakage and wastage during high-volume production.
- Printing accuracy: registration adjustment, balanced rollers and controlled pressure are important for logos, barcodes, batch codes, MRP, manufacturing details and expiry information.
- Material compatibility: suitable for aluminium foil, blister foil, strip foil, laminated foil, Alu Alu foil, PVC film, PVDC coated film, PET film and pharma packaging films, depending on final machine configuration.
- Production support: options can be discussed for colour units, drying system, edge guide, pneumatic controls, AC frequency drive, safety guarding and operator-friendly control panel.
