Corrugated carton production is one of the largest branches in the packaging industry. Many traditional carton factories face low efficiency and slow order delivery. A medium-sized carton factory in Eastern Europe completed production line upgrade last year. They chose digital single pass printers to replace old devices, and achieved obvious results.
Before the upgrade, the factory used traditional printing machines. The whole process needed manual feeding and repeated debugging, also need to change templates for each customer's design. Daily output was limited, high order start-up cost and it could not keep up with growing orders.
Besides low speed, material waste was also a serious problem. Misalignment often happened during printing. A large amount of corrugated paper was discarded every day. Labor cost took up a high proportion of total expenditure. And traditional printing production line cannot accomplish QR code variable data printing demand. The factory wanted to find a stable and efficient solution.
According to the factory’s material and output demands, we recommended a wide-format single pass printer. The device matches the uneven surface of corrugated cardboard well. It supports automatic feeding and continuous high-speed operation.
The whole production line keeps a compact layout. It does not need to change the original workshop structure. Operators only need simple training to master daily operation.
After putting into use, the factory’s daily output increased greatly. Order delivery cycle was shortened by nearly 40%. High-precision printing reduces material waste effectively.
Labor demand also decreased. The factory cut comprehensive operating costs month by month. Now it can take more medium and small custom orders while finishing bulk production tasks.
This case proves that single pass printing is an ideal choice for carton factory transformation. It balances efficiency, cost and production flexibility perfectly.
