The prepress equipment of packaging and printing is not the key, but the prepress technology and experience are the key. You need to have superb skills and experience in typesetting design, imposition, proofing, color management, ink blending and so on. Give a simple example. A cosmetics manufacturer subcontracted the packaging cartons of the same product to three printing plants, the same electronic documents and the same samples, but you are slightly different from the other two. The lighter one is returned and opened again. The differences include different colors, different materials, unstable structure, and the most serious thing may be that the angle of the network cable is poor. So what is most needed before printing is experience, because packaging printing is different from business printing. If there is a problem, the latter can be sold to customers at a discount, but if there is a problem with the packaging, no one will want it (from a responsible point of view). Few packaging costs are higher than the products on the market, and customers are most afraid of twisting a good leg for a pair of rotten shoes. This is especially true for products whose packaging price is hundreds of times higher.

In addition, color management is very important, especially for high-end printed matter with high price. It is best to establish iso, G7 and other standards, so that the color difference of each printing is not big.

I think the suitable application is more important than the brand in the selection of printing machines. The current trend is that the general market is far from the high-profit development of the professional market. If you can do what many people can't do, and some people have such needs, you will easily succeed. If it is specialized in cosmetic packaging, the general cosmetic packaging is about 230 g-500 g white cardboard, and the general process is to print within 6 colors. Uv glazing, laminating (high-grade cosmetics are rarely used, because there is an odor behind the peritoneum, which will affect the fragrance of cosmetics itself), bronzing (or cold bronzing), embossing, die-cutting, box pasting, local uv, packaging and other processes. If continuous production has such a choice:

Choose chrysanthemum semi-boot professional printing cosmetics carton:

A Komori sx29(720*520, the thickest can print about 450g of 0.8mm paper, online cold stamping+online uv polishing, 7-color machine.

7-color printer: 1 color printing uv glue +2-color printing cold stamping film +3 spot color base +4-5-6-7 printing 4-color +uv glazing.

5-color printer: 5-color printing, off-line uv glazing, off-line bronzing and off-line die cutting. At present, there is no way to off-line cold stamping.

B Roland 500/ Heidelberg XL75 (720*520, the thickest can print about 450g paper of 0.8mm, online cold stamping+online uv glazing,

7-color printer: 1 color printing uv glue +2-color printing cold stamping film +3 spot color base +4-5-6-7 printing 4-color +uv glazing.

5-color machine: 5-color printing, off-line uv glazing, off-line bronzing, off-line die cutting,

Chrysanthemum full start scheme:

5-color /6-color machine is the ideal choice for long-term and not short of money, followed by Heidelberg cd 102 and XL 106.

Finally, the machines of Komori and Mitsubishi.

It depends on the strength after printing. If possible, you can go to bost's automatic die-cutting machine (which can be combined with the functions of automatic bronzing and holographic bronzing, and holographic bronzing will be used on individual cosmetics packaging)+automatic box pasting machine.

In addition, the printing of food, medicine and cosmetics is very strict with post-press inspection (take medicine as an example, there are 20 small medicine boxes in a folio, and each medicine box is printed with "How to take: 0. 1mg per tablet, 0.2mg each time, twice a day ..." But after printing 40,000 copies, one edition appeared out of print, only in a medicine box. If you don't find out in time that selling to patients will kill you, if there are a large number of customers, they will put the bill on you. (The same is true for cosmetics. You can install an avt automatic test equipment to check the printing quality.
