The LQ-2C Series is a 2-color flexographic printing machine designed for continuous roll-to-roll printing on flexible plastic films and paper substrates.
Available in three substrate widths — 600mm, 800mm, and 1000mm — the series covers a broad range of bag printing applications from small-format T-shirt bags to wide supermarket carrier bags.
All models operate at 5–50 m/min and support an integrated single-pass workflow combining printing, laminating, and die-cutting. The uniform 2.38mm plate specification across all models allows operators to share plate stock between machines, simplifying consumable management.
Inks are temperature-resistant, light-resistant, and friction-resistant, delivering high color saturation and registration accuracy on both film and paper.

The LQ-2C Series is compatible with BOPP, PET, PE, PVC, CPP, aluminum foil, glassine paper, and standard paper rolls, covering both plastic film and paper bag production.
All three models operate at 5 to 50 meters per minute, allowing speed adjustment based on substrate type, ink coverage, and required registration accuracy.
The three models differ primarily in maximum substrate width: 600mm, 800mm, and 1000mm respectively. All share the same speed range (5–50 m/min) and plate thickness (2.38mm). The LQ-2C-800 also offers a shorter minimum print length of 180mm versus 200mm on the other two models.
Yes. The LQ-2C Series supports an integrated single-pass workflow that combines printing, laminating, and die-cutting, reducing handling steps and improving line efficiency.
All models require a total mounted plate thickness of 2.38mm, including the double-sided adhesive tape. This is a standard commercial flexo specification compatible with most photopolymer plate suppliers.
The LQ-2C Series is positioned after the blown film extruder and before the bag making machine. The workflow is: blown film extrusion → flexo printing → bag making.
The LQ-2C Series prints two colors per pass. For jobs requiring more than two colors, additional passes or a multi-color flexo model would be required.
All three models accept web rolls up to ⌀450mm in diameter.
Yes. All three models support paper substrates including uncoated kraft paper and coated white paper. Water-based flexo inks are recommended for paper applications to ensure adhesion and food-safety compliance.
Running at 30 m/min with 8-hour shifts at 80% efficiency in a dual-lane layout with a 400mm bag width, the LQ-2C-1000 can produce approximately 57,600 printed bag units per shift.
