Chinese Flexo Printing Machine Manufacturing

More than 150 imported flexographic presses have been distributed throughout China. Since 1995, more than 150 narrow-bore flexographic printing presses have been installed in China, which are almost all over the country's major provinces and cities. Imported equipment suppliers, in addition to McAndy, United, Pioneer, there are Jakarta, Yidi, Esso, Kang and other manufacturers. In addition to a small amount of imported equipment for printing stickers and labels, the other are mainly printed cigarettes and wine labels, and less involved in other products. ,
Concentration of import suppliers and weak after-sales service machines have entered the Chinese market at an average annual rate of more than 30 units, and are concentrated on two or three suppliers. Each year, the number of flexo presses sold by individual suppliers reaches more than 20 units. The after-sales service is often not in place or in a timely manner, causing the flexo printing machines introduced by some printing plants to fail to operate normally and the printing quality is not up to the required level. About one-third of the existing imported equipment belongs to the above situation. This also has a negative impact on the use of flexo printing in China.
The rapid development of the domestic unit type flexo printing machine and the rapid import of the unit type flexographic printing press has not only made the domestic printer manufacturing industry obtain the information but also caused the attention of the relevant national competent authorities. A meeting was specially convened to study countermeasures and to guide and support domestic printers to develop and develop narrow-width unit-type multi-function flexographic printers. Seven companies have started to produce narrow-width multi-function flexo presses: Shanxi Taihang Printing Machinery (Taihang), Shaanxi Printing Machinery, Beiren Fuji, Shanghai Ziguang, and Xi'an Heiniu Plant ; Wuxi Baonan Printing Factory; Wenzhou Shenli Printing Factory. From the domestic potential market speculation, it is entirely possible to sell 150 unit flexo presses in the next five years. Moreover, the selling price of domestic machines is about 2 million, only about one-half to one-third of imported machines.
Problems and Solutions â—† After-sales service To maintain the continuous development of the unit type flexo press in China, the printer factory must first perform the after-sales service work to ensure that the user can quickly put into production and operate normally after purchasing the machine.
â—† Education and training quickly change the status quo that no one currently employs skilled personnel to form ample talent market. The flexo printing plant has the ability to independently operate and solve difficult problems, and at the same time practically teaches the supporting knowledge and equipment supply channels for flexo printing.
â—† Supporting equipment, such as plates, inks, anilox rollers, and round die cutters, are required for the current flexo printing. Except for high-grade inks, some of them rely on imports. The round die cutters are still blank. suit one's needs. Therefore, the development of round-bore circular die cutters whose development prices can be accepted by users should be included in the agenda. Not only steel knives for large-volume use, but also thin-cutting knives that can be used with magnetic rollers at low prices should be manufactured so that the unit type can be flexible. Printing machines play a greater role in order to gain greater market share.
â—† Development of Domestic Flexo Presses - Folding cartons Domestic development of narrow-width unit flexo presses was only five years old. Although it has begun to be accepted, it is still widely used in printing cigarette packs and labels. Among them, the traditional gravure has gradually been replaced in the printing of short-cut cigarette packs. In the southwest region where tobacco is again abundantly produced, as well as in Shandong, soft and hard packaging cartons of medium and small cigarette factories have all adopted flexographic printing techniques. Beer has made a huge market for consumption in China. The processing of beer labels with flexo presses has experienced rapid development. In order to further expand the market, it is necessary to develop a market for folding cartons in the fields of food, medicine, household chemicals and hygiene products.
The slow development of China's flexo printing market Many factors â—‡ Many domestic manufacturers of goods have not recognized the importance of flexo packaging products to protect the physical and mental health of consumers. â—‡ Insufficient guidance from relevant government agencies, no more precise regulations â—‡ Flexographic printing equipment imported from companies Afterwards, there are still many problems in process operations, main raw materials, and equipment accessories. In developing the flexo product market, the advantages of using products to guide the market are not fully revealed. The lack of excellent talents and the use of flexo-printed product packaging Suspension in the general level of the market classification machine â—† flexible packaging market, that is, the broad flexible printing flexible packaging market is the traditional strength of plastic film gravure, its technology has been quite mature, and the introduction of high-end equipment is too much, the productivity has been surplus, it can be said that the next decade Gravure will not give too much opportunity for wide flexo printing.
â—† Adhesive, trademark, folding cartons market, that is, narrow flexo printing in China it is facing a strong squeeze sheetfed offset.
â—† The corrugated box printing market is promoted by the rapid development of domestic economy and the innovation of flexo printing technology. Flexo printing will be developed rapidly here.
Launching the Flexo Printing Market The Chinese flexo printing market is in its infancy. The vacuum phase of market products has made most companies that have already installed flexographic printing machines not only wait for the pots to cook, but they are still learning and accumulating experience in the flexo printing process. At the stage, it can not have a substantial role in promoting the development of China's flexo printing industry.
Reducing costs makes it better to compete flexibly on other printing methods, and it is also a stepping stone to other people's markets.
With the lower cost of domestic flexo presses to occupy the traditional middle and high-end packaging products market, with the maturity of the process, the accumulation of experience and talent, but also to cultivate a large-scale, high-end packaging products market.
