Advantages of Loobjet  Digital Inkjet Equipment for Packaging Strap 

Overcoming the Limitations of Traditional Screen Printing: A Comprehensive Upgrade in Identification Technology

Screen printing has been a common identification method for packaging straps for decades, but its inherent flaws have become increasingly prominent in the face of the growing demand for personalized, efficient, and flexible production. Loobjet digital inkjet equipment thoroughly addresses these pain points, achieving a comprehensive upgrade from traditional analog printing to digital intelligent printing, and becoming an ideal alternative to screen printing.

First and foremost, Loobjet ’s digital inkjet equipment eliminates the cumbersome plate-making process required by screen printing. Screen printing relies on the production of a dedicated mesh screen for each pattern or text, involving complex steps such as design, film production, screen stretching, and exposure. The entire plate-making process takes 24 to 72 hours, and each plate is only suitable for a fixed pattern—any change in identification content requires re-plate making, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and costly. In contrast, Danmajet’s digital inkjet equipment adopts a plate-free design: users only need to import the desired text, pattern, barcode, or QR code into the equipment’s control system via a computer, and the equipment can start printing immediately. This not only saves plate-making time and costs but also allows for real-time adjustments to identification content, perfectly adapting to the growing demand for small-batch, multi-variety production in modern enterprises.

Secondly, Loobjet digital inkjet equipment solves the problem of poor adaptability of screen printing to different packaging strap materials. Screen printing requires strict matching between the ink and the substrate; otherwise, it is prone to problems such as ink peeling, blurring, and poor adhesion. For packaging straps made of different materials such as PP, PET, nylon, and composite materials, screen printing often requires replacing ink types and adjusting process parameters, which increases operational complexity and reduces production efficiency. Loobjet digital inkjet equipment is equipped with a variety of special inks (including fast-drying ink, UV ink, and environmentally friendly water-based ink) that can be flexibly matched to different packaging strap materials. The ink is atomized into tiny droplets through high-precision nozzles, which can firmly adhere to the surface of the strap, whether it is a smooth or rough surface, ensuring clear and durable identification even in harsh environments such as friction, extrusion, and humidity. This wide material adaptability makes Loobjet equipment applicable to almost all types of packaging straps in the market, greatly expanding its application scope.

In addition, Danmajet digital inkjet equipment avoids the waste of materials and ink caused by screen printing. In the screen printing process, a large amount of ink is wasted during plate debugging and cleaning, and the rejection rate of packaging straps is high due to misalignment, ink leakage, and other problems. Danmajet digital inkjet equipment adopts on-demand inkjet technology, which sprays ink only when needed, with an ink utilization rate of over 95%. At the same time, the equipment’s high-precision positioning system ensures that the identification content is accurately printed on the specified position of the packaging strap, reducing the rejection rate to less than 0.1%, which significantly reduces the production cost of enterprises.

Finally, Loobjet digital inkjet equipment is more environmentally friendly than screen printing. Traditional screen printing inks often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are harmful to the environment and the health of operators. The cleaning process of screen printing also requires a large amount of organic solvents, which further increases environmental pollution. Danmajet digital inkjet equipment uses environmentally friendly inks that are non-toxic, odorless, and free of VOCs, and does not require organic solvents for cleaning. The entire printing process is pollution-free, complying with global environmental protection standards and the ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) development goals of modern enterprises. This not only protects the environment but also improves the working environment of operators, enhancing enterprise image and social responsibility.

Industry-Leading High-Speed Performance: Boosting Production Efficiency to a New Level

In the fast-paced modern packaging production line, the speed of identification equipment directly affects the overall production efficiency. Loobjet digital inkjet equipment takes high speed as one of its core advantages, breaking through the speed limit of traditional screen printing and perfectly matching the needs of high-speed packaging production lines.

The maximum printing speed of Loobjet’s digital inkjet equipment can reach 70 meters per minute, 3 to 5 times faster than traditional screen printing equipment (whose maximum speed is usually 15 to 25 meters per minute). This high-speed performance is achieved through the equipment’s advanced inkjet technology and intelligent control system: the high-frequency jetting nozzle can eject thousands of ink droplets per second, and the intelligent synchronization system ensures the printing speed perfectly matches the packaging strap production line speed, without causing production delays or interruptions. For enterprises with large-scale production needs—such as logistics, food and beverage, and e-commerce packaging—Loobjet’s equipment significantly improves production efficiency, shortens delivery cycles, and enhances market competitiveness. 

It is worth noting that Loobjet digital inkjet equipment maintains high printing quality while achieving high speed. Traditional screen printing often has problems such as blurred edges, uneven ink application, and poor consistency when printing at high speed, which affects the readability and aesthetics of the identification content. Loobjet equipment adopts high-precision nozzle technology with a printing resolution of up to 600 DPI, ensuring that each character, pattern, or barcode is clear, sharp, and consistent, even when printing at full speed. The ink’s fast-drying performance also ensures that the printed content does not smudge or blur, even if the packaging straps are stacked immediately after printing, further improving production efficiency.

In addition, Loobjet digital inkjet equipment has excellent stability during long-term high-speed operation. The equipment is equipped with a high-performance industrial control system and a durable nozzle structure, which can operate continuously for 24 hours without failure. The intelligent self-diagnosis and maintenance system can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time, promptly alert to potential faults, and automatically perform nozzle cleaning and ink path maintenance, reducing the frequency of manual maintenance and ensuring the continuity and stability of production. This high stability is particularly important for large-scale production enterprises, as it can avoid production losses caused by equipment failures.
