Digital inkjet decoration for metal packaging

Transform your metal packaging line with high-quality, efficient digital inkjet decoration that offers on-the-fly product customization and seamless integration, reducing waste and optimizing changeovers.

Decorates and Coats Metal Sheets

The DMD Line from SACMI provides a transformative approach to metal packaging decoration, using digital inkjet technology to deliver unparalleled flexibility and efficiency. Designed for rapid changeovers without the need for printing plates or ink changes, it is ideal for metal packaging manufacturers aiming to produce aluminum beverage cans, food tins, and more with high-resolution, CMYK + spot color outputs. The line operates at a capacity of up to 2400 sheets per hour, seamlessly integrating surface treatments and protective coatings directly on the production line. Compact at 25 meters, it reduces electrical power usage and generates zero waste. With a single-pass solution controlled through automated systems, it requires minimal manual intervention, allowing for streamlined operations and real-time product sampling. The DMD Line is perfect for those in metal packaging and printing industries seeking sustainable and efficient production solutions, fully equipped for integration into modern production environments.
