2-Color stack Flexo printing for Bag-Making lines and Bio shoppers

The compact gearless printing unit, ideal for inline customization of compostable bags and plastic films.

Modular™ 957 by Giugni® is a 2-color stack-type flexographic printer specifically engineered for inline operation with modern bag-making machines.

This unit is the perfect solution for the shoppers and fresh produce bag market, where demand for eco-friendly and compostable materials is rapidly increasing. Thanks to gearless technology and direct drive motorization, Modular™ 957 ensures gentle and precise web tension control, an essential factor when printing on bioplastics that are sensitive to elongation.

Compact and technologically advanced, it supports 2+0 (front) or 1+1 (front/back) printing configurations, making it ideal for applying logos, barcodes, environmental compliance marks, and simple graphics directly during the bag-making process.
