Case Study

Building Materials Manufacturer Adds Inline Decoration

A PVC wall panel manufacturer integrated our single pass printing machine into their extrusion line for direct full-color decorative printing. Previously applying decorative films with high material costs and inventory requirements, they now print custom wood grain, stone, and geometric patterns directly on the panel surface inline at full extrusion speed. The single-pass system matches line speeds of up to 25 meters per minute with consistent color across full 1.2m panel widths. They eliminated decorative film inventory entirely, reducing material costs by 55% per panel. The digital capability also lets them offer custom pattern runs with minimum order quantities as low as 50 panels.

Corrugated Box Plant Installs Inline Digital Print

A corrugated packaging plant added our single pass printing machine to their converting line for short-run full-color box production. The machine prints directly on corrugated board in a single pass at converting line speed, eliminating the need for pre-printed litho labels and lamination steps. This reduces per-box production cost by 32% for runs under 5,000 pieces and cuts lead times from 5 days to next-day delivery. The high-brightness white ink ensures vibrant colors on brown kraft board, meeting retail display quality standards. Within 9 months, their short-run custom box business grew by 140%, and they won 18 new e-commerce brand clients seeking low minimum order quantities.

Metal Can Manufacturer Upgrades Decoration Line

An aluminum beverage can producer replaced their legacy offset decoration line with our single pass printing machine for their small-batch craft brewery division. The digital single-pass system handles 20+ can designs daily with no plate changes, compared to 2–3 designs per day on the old offset line. Setup time between brands dropped from 3 hours to 12 minutes, making minimum runs of just 200 cans economically viable. The UV-cured inks pass all food contact safety standards and deliver excellent scratch resistance for can filling and distribution lines. They now serve 47 regional craft breweries, growing this division by 210% in the first year of operation.

Our single pass printing machine is engineered for permanent integration into industrial production lines, bringing high-speed digital decoration directly to your manufacturing process without off-line printing steps. Built on a heavy-duty industrial chassis, it handles continuous 24/7 operation with consistent, repeatable performance that matches your line speed. The modular print array can be configured to your exact width requirements, with single-pass full-color output that eliminates the slower multi-pass approach of standard flatbed printers. Integrated plasma or corona pretreatment, precision inkjet printing, and multi-stage UV LED curing are all contained within a single machine footprint, creating a compact inline decoration station. Open communication protocols and configurable conveyor interfaces ensure seamless synchronization with your existing upstream and downstream equipment. Every machine is custom-engineered for your specific application, substrate, and production speed, with full on-site integration support from our engineering team. Backed by NOVA’s global service network and preventive maintenance programs, it delivers long-term reliability for mission-critical production lines.

Customer Testimonials

Kenneth Moore

We integrated this single pass printing machine into our corrugated converting line, and it’s transformed our short-run box business. We now print full-color boxes inline at converting speed, no more litho labels and lamination. Short-run costs dropped by 30%, and we can offer next-day delivery that our competitors can’t match. The white ink on kraft board looks great for retail display boxes. Installation and integration went smoothly with their engineering team.

Victoria Hughes

This single pass printing machine replaced our old can decorating offset line for our craft brewery division, and the difference is incredible. We went from 2 designs a day to 25+, with setup times under 15 minutes. Print quality is sharp, colors are vibrant, and inks pass all food safety and scratch tests. We now take orders as small as 200 cans profitably. The machine runs reliably all day, and the service team is very knowledgeable about can decorating specifics.

Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction for 24/7 Operation

Heavy-Duty Industrial Construction for 24/7 Operation

Our single pass printing machine is built with a heavy-gauge steel frame and industrial-grade components designed for non-stop operation in demanding manufacturing environments. The rigid, vibration-dampening chassis ensures stable print head positioning even at high line speeds, maintaining consistent dot placement and print quality across full production shifts. All motion systems use heavy-duty servo drives and linear guides rated for tens of millions of cycles, delivering long service life with minimal wear. Every machine undergoes rigorous endurance testing before shipment, including 100+ hours of continuous operation at maximum speed. This industrial build quality ensures reliable performance year after year in 24/7 production environments where downtime carries significant cost.
Complete Inline Workflow Reduces Production Steps

Complete Inline Workflow Reduces Production Steps

Our single pass printing machine integrates pretreatment, printing, and curing into a single inline station, eliminating multiple off-line processing steps and material handling between operations. Substrates enter the machine directly from your upstream production equipment, receive surface treatment, full-color single-pass printing, and instant UV curing, then exit ready for downstream finishing—all in one continuous pass. This consolidated workflow reduces material handling labor by 65%, cuts work-in-progress inventory dramatically, and shortens overall production cycle time by 50% or more. By bringing decoration inline, you also eliminate the cost and risk of storing pre-printed materials, and you gain the flexibility to change designs digitally with no inventory obsolescence.
Custom Engineering for Specific Production Needs

Custom Engineering for Specific Production Needs

Every single pass printing machine we deliver is custom-engineered to match your exact production requirements, rather than forcing you to adapt your line to a standard machine. Our engineering team works with you to define optimal print width, substrate handling configuration, line speed synchronization, and pretreatment and curing specifications for your specific materials. We support custom conveyor heights, specialized substrate transport systems, and integration with your existing factory control systems. This tailored approach ensures seamless integration and optimal performance from day one. We also provide full on-site commissioning and operator training, so your team is fully prepared to run the machine at full capacity immediately after installation.
