Stack Flexo printing for Bio shoppers and compostable films

The flexographic solution with independent stations optimized for converting bioplastics and sustainable packaging.

Modular™ 958 by Giugni® is a stack-type flexographic printing unit designed to meet the growing demands of “Green Packaging.” This machine is the ideal choice for manufacturers of bags, shoppers, and fresh produce pouches made from biodegradable and compostable materials.

Printing on biopolymers presents unique challenges due to the thermal sensitivity and elasticity of these substrates. Modular™ 958 addresses these issues through precise web tension control and carefully calibrated drying systems that prevent film deformation. The stack configuration with independent vertical stations provides the flexibility required to print logos, disposal instructions, and promotional graphics in up to 6 colors, delivering high print quality even with water-based inks, essential for the environmental certification of the finished product.

Robust and reliable, the Modular 958 integrates seamlessly into shopper bag-making and sealing lines, offering fast job changeovers and simplified maintenance.

Advantages for the Bio-Packaging sector

  • Sensitive film handling: Advanced web tension control prevents elongation of thin compostable films during printing.
  • Eco-compatibility: Designed for optimal use of water-based inks, reducing environmental impact (VOC emissions).
  • Versatile configuration: Available from 2 to 6 colors to cover all requirements, from mandatory regulatory markings to complex graphics for mass retail brands.
  • Stack architecture: Compact vertical structure providing easy access to all printing units for cleaning and plate changes.
  • Gentle drying: Inter-color drying systems engineered to fix the ink without thermally stressing the biopolymer.

Key applications

  • Biodegradable Shoppers: Shopping bags for supermarkets and retail stores.
  • Fresh Produce Packaging: Ultra-light compostable bags for fresh food departments.
  • Waste Bags: Bags for the collection of organic (food waste) fractions.
