What is a Flexographic Printing Machine?
A flexographic printing machine is an industrial printing system used to print directly onto flexible materials such as adhesive tapes, plastic films, paper and other substrates.
In tape production, flexographic printing allows companies to print logos, colours, messages and customized graphics directly onto the tape surface. This makes it possible to create branded packaging tapes in-house, reducing outsourcing costs, lead times and minimum order quantities.
Why Choose a SIAT Flexographic Printing Machine?
Choosing a SIAT flexographic printing machine means bringing tape printing production under your direct control.
With the L46, companies can print customized adhesive tapes internally, reduce dependency on external suppliers and respond faster to customer requests, seasonal promotions and urgent branding needs.
The L46 is designed for companies looking for a flexible, reliable and complete solution for high-quality tape printing, with integrated treatment, drying, slitting and rewinding systems.
