The Xenoflex S8000 is designed for digital printing on flexible packaging and film-based packaging. Targeting flexible packaging converters and printing manufacturers, it features roll-to-roll feeding, a combined hot air + infrared drying system and closed-loop tension control, and is compatible with a wide range of flexible packaging substrates including BOPP, PET, PE, nylon films and laminated films.

Application testing has demonstrated its wide colour gamut, high colour saturation, clear reproduction of 1.5 mm text and Grade A results in finished barcode verification. Final print quality and production performance depend on the substrate, artwork, ink conditions, drying settings and finishing requirements.

Core Advantages
Four core capabilities covering the full scenario of flexible packaging digital production

Flexible Production

No plate-making, fast job switching, supports short-run and multi-batch production to quickly respond to market changes

Broad Substrate Compatibility

Covers mainstream flexible packaging substrates including BOPP, PET, PE and laminated films, expanding business boundaries

Premium Print Detail

Wide color gamut with high saturation, clear 1.5mm fine text, Grade A barcode verification

Full Workflow Integration

Compatible with downstream lamination, slitting and bag-making, integrating with existing flexible packaging lines

Typical Applications
From artwork preparation to finished packaging.

01.
Short-Run Custom Packaging

Flexible production for small orders and customized designs, reducing production costs and inventory pressure for small batches, and meeting differentiated packaging needs of brands.

02.
Multi-SKU Packagingn

Efficiently manage packaging designs of different formulas, specifications and languages in the same series, support fast job switching, and meet the iteration needs of multi-product line brands.

03.
Prototypes & Market Testing

Rapidly produce packaging samples for design review, channel testing and small-scale trial launch, greatly shortening the time-to-market cycle.

04.
Seasonal & Promotional Packaging

Support rapid production of short-term themed packaging such as holiday limited editions, co-branded items and promotions, flexibly responding to marketing nodes.

05.
Variable Data Packaging

Support variable QR codes, traceability codes and personalized text printing, meeting the needs of product traceability and interactive marketing.

Supported Substrates

Different film substrates require corresponding preparation, printing parameter adjustment and finishing validation standards.

BOPP Film

Key checks: corona value compliance, ink adhesion, drying performance, scuff resistance and lamination compatibility

PET Film

Key checks: substrate flatness, colour reproduction, high temperature resistance, dimensional stability and slitting performance

PE Film

Key checks: tensile stability, low-temperature adhesion, heat seal compatibility and food contact compliance (with matching inks)

Laminated Film

Key checks: surface printability, interlayer bonding force, medium resistance and finished bag-making performance

Metallized Film / Aluminum Foil

Surface properties, ink adhesion, light barrier performance and finishing compatibility shall be evaluated separately; mass production is allowed only after passing the test.

Production Workflow
Full standardized workflow from artwork preparation to finished flexible packaging delivery

01. Artwork & Prepress

Check artwork format, dielines, imposition, colour files and variable data rules

↓

02. Substrate Preparation & Loading

Inspect corona value, flatness and thickness tolerance, complete roll loading and tension adjustment

03. Digital Printing

Print approved artwork with specified settings, monitor web tension and drying status throughout the process

04. Print Inspection

Inspect colour consistency, fine details, adhesion, drying and barcode readability

05. Finishing & Converting

Carry out downstream processes as required: lamination, slitting, bag-making, hot stamping, coding, etc.

06. Final Quality Control

Check appearance, dimensions, heat seal strength, sealing performance and end-use functionality
