Case Study

Small Cosmetics Maker Competing With Giants

An artisan soap and lotion maker in Vermont used a NOVA tube printing machine to create professional, full-color tube packaging for the first time. Previously reliant on plain labels, their products struggled for attention. The new direct-printed tubes with vibrant artwork and a soft-touch varnish transformed their brand image. They now produce 1,500 tubes monthly, and their products were picked up by a national boutique chain. The printer's ease of use allowed the founder, with no printing experience, to master it quickly. Sales have tripled, and the professional packaging is cited by retailers as a key factor in their stocking decisions.

Veterinary Products Supplier Enhances Compliance

A supplier of veterinary ointments in Australia used a NOVA tube printing machine to print critical dosage information and barcodes directly onto tubes, eliminating the risk of detached paper labels. The durable UV print is waterproof and scratch-resistant, ensuring legibility in barn and clinic environments. The printer's variable data capability allows them to print batch-specific information efficiently. They produce 3,000 tubes weekly, and the reliable, permanent printing has improved safety compliance and reduced customer queries.

Indie Food Brand Creates Collectible Tube Packaging

A small-batch gourmet condiment brand uses a NOVA tube printing machine to create collectible, artist-designed tubes for their limited-edition flavors. The digital printer allows them to collaborate with a new local artist each quarter, producing stunning, full-wrap artworks in runs of just 500 tubes. The collectible aspect has built a loyal customer base, and each release sells out quickly. The machine's flexibility is central to their innovative marketing strategy.

All-In-One Digital Workflow

The NOVA tube printing machine integrates rotary motion, white ink handling, and UV curing into one seamless unit. A small business owner who previously struggled with a multi-step labeling process found that the NOVA machine simplified their entire packaging operation into one quick, clean step, reducing production time by 60%.

High-Opacity White Ink On Any Tube

The recirculating white ink system is a standout feature. It ensures that on clear or brightly colored tubes, the white underbase is brilliantly opaque, making the overprinted colors pop. A brand using vibrant orange tubes achieved perfect, true-to-life color reproduction for their logo, something their previous labeling method could not.

When you buy a NOVA tube printing machine, you receive more than hardware. You gain a partner committed to your success with free lifetime remote support and software updates that continuously improve functionality. A customer who bought their machine two years ago recently received an update that added new varnish effects, extending the machine's creative capabilities.
