Honor Stack Flexo Printing Machine – 6 Color Printing for Flexible Packaging

1. Paper Materials

Our machines are specially designed to print a wide range of paper-based products, meeting diverse packaging and labeling needs across industries. These applications include:

• Paper Cups: Ideal for hot and cold beverages, often made from PE-coated or biodegradable paper to ensure leak-proof performance and durability.
• Hamburger Boxes: Sturdy and food-safe packaging crafted from corrugated or coated paperboard to maintain freshness and heat retention.
• Takeaway Boxes: Versatile and eco-friendly options for fast food, designed using high-strength cardboard or kraft paper with grease-resistant coatings.
• Label Paper: High-quality adhesive label stock for branding, logistics, and retail, suitable for various printing finishes.
• Kraft Paper Bags: Durable and recyclable bags, commonly used for groceries, food packaging, or retail items, available in plain or printed designs.
• Small Packaging Boxes: Compact and visually appealing paperboard boxes for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and specialty products, ensuring optimal protection and presentation.

Coated Paper

• Description: Paper coated with clay or polymers to achieve a smooth surface for vibrant and detailed printing. It provides a premium finish and excellent ink absorption.
• Common Weights: 100-350 g/㎡ for packaging and printed materials.
• Structure: The base paper is coated on one or both sides with a fine mineral layer, enhancing brightness and smoothness.
• Applications: Food boxes, labels, brochures, and cartons for premium consumer products.

Ivory Board

• Description: A stiff, smooth, multi-layer paperboard with a clean, white finish that offers excellent rigidity and print quality.
• Common Weights: 200-400 g/㎡ for high-end packaging.
• Structure: Composed of layers of virgin fibers with a highly polished surface for superior aesthetics.
• Applications: Cosmetic boxes, gift boxes, pharmaceutical cartons, and luxury product packaging.

2. Plastic Films

Plastic films are essential in modern packaging for their lightweight, durable, and moisture-resistant properties. They are commonly used for flexible packaging, with thickness typically measured in microns.

BOPP (Biaxially Oriented Polypropylene)

• Description: This film is stretched in two directions to improve clarity, strength, and moisture resistance. It is highly versatile for printing and laminating.
• Common Thickness: 15-50 microns.
• Structure: Composed of polypropylene polymer, stretched for uniform strength. It can be metalized or coated for additional properties.
• Applications: Snack packaging, bread bags, clear pouches, and adhesive labels.

PE (Polyethylene)

• Description: A lightweight and flexible material with excellent moisture and chemical resistance. It is available in high-density (HDPE) and low-density (LDPE) forms.
• Common Thickness: 10-50 microns for films; thicker for industrial liners.
• Structure: Single-layer or multi-layer polyethylene; can be laminated with other materials for added functionality.
• Applications: Plastic bags, milk pouches, shrink wraps, and liners for packaging trays.

PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate)

• Description: A strong, clear, and durable plastic commonly used in food and beverage packaging. It provides excellent heat resistance.
• Common Thickness: 10-75 microns for films; thicker for rigid packaging.
• Structure: Polyester-based film, often combined with other materials for improved barrier properties.
• Applications: Beverage bottle labels, frozen food packaging, and durable laminates.

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride)

• Description: PVC film is durable and flexible, often used for tamper-evident seals and protective layers. It provides excellent clarity and impact resistance.
• Common Thickness: 20-60 microns.
• Structure: Polyvinyl chloride polymer, with optional additives for UV or heat resistance.
• Applications: Shrink sleeves, blister packaging, and industrial hardware wraps.

3. Metal Foils

Metal foils, particularly aluminum foil, are ideal for applications requiring high barrier properties against light, moisture, and oxygen. They are often laminated with other materials for added strength and durability.

Aluminum Foil

• Description: Thin aluminum sheets, sometimes laminated with paper or plastic for additional functionality.
• Common Thickness: 6-50 microns.
• Structure: Pure aluminum or laminated with polyethylene or kraft paper for increased strength and flexibility.
• Applications: Food wraps, pharmaceutical blister packs, yogurt lids, and insulated packaging for frozen or hot products.

Metalized Films

• Description: Plastic films with a thin metal coating, typically aluminum, to enhance barrier properties and give a metallic appearance.
• Common Thickness: 15-30 microns.
• Structure: BOPP or PET base with a vacuum-deposited metal layer.
• Applications: Coffee bags, snack pouches, and high-barrier flexible packaging.

4. Labeling Materials

Labeling materials range from simple papers to advanced films, providing solutions for branding, logistics, and regulatory information. They are designed for compatibility with adhesive layers and various printing technologies.

Self-Adhesive Label Materials

• Description: Multi-layered material with a printable face layer, adhesive, and release liner.
• Common Types: Paper-based or plastic (BOPP, PET) face layers.
• Applications: Product labels, logistics barcodes, and tamper-evident seals.

Thermal Paper

• Description: Heat-sensitive paper designed for direct thermal printing.
• Common Weights: 60-100 g/㎡.
• Applications: Receipt rolls, barcode labels, and parking tickets.

Vinyl Stickers

• Description: Made from flexible and durable plastic, vinyl stickers are water- and UV-resistant.
• Common Thickness: 50-100 microns.
• Applications: Promotional stickers, outdoor decals, and product branding.
