Where it wins

Industries we deploy Single-Pass Inkjet into.

Caps & Closures

Replacing direct-offset for variable data, short runs, and color flexibility — without sacrificing throughput.

Cosmetic Tubes & Bottles

Full 360° decoration with brand-quality color matching and the ability to handle multiple SKUs on the same line.

Medical Devices

UDI compliance, lot-code marking, and high-mix production for manufacturers running multiple geometries.

Bottle Caps & Containers

Highest-throughput application: 45,000+ caps per hour with variable artwork capability.

Who this fits

Is Single-Pass Inkjet the right answer for your line?

You're running high-volume production where the SKU, the artwork, or both change frequently — and traditional analog decoration's changeover penalties have become the bottleneck.

Right fit when

  • Annual volume per SKU above 100,000 parts
  • Design changes weekly, daily, or per-shift
  • Variable data: UDI, serialization, anti-counterfeit codes, personalization
  • You're currently using screen, pad, or multi-pass and hitting throughput ceiling
  • Single-color white plus CMYK process printing in one pass
