Iv bag flexo printer for pharma applications
Ensure precise and efficient printing on IV and chamber bags with a high-speed, continuous operation printer designed to handle various substrates without the need for complicated roller systems.

Prints Labels on IV and Chamber Bags
The Hapa 231-IV from Hapa AG is a specialized flexo printer designed for the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors. It excels in printing on IV and chamber bags, using a streamlined single-color flexographic process that operates at speeds up to 18.6 meters per minute. This capability is crucial for the continuous, high-speed operations typical in the medical device packaging sector. With a maximum web width of 320 mm and compatibility with substrates like polypropylene and PVC-free materials, the Hapa 231-IV ensures precise, reliable labeling in various medical applications, including intravenous fluid and blood plasma bags.
The machine’s design allows substrates to pass straight through without roller contact, enhancing print accuracy and reducing handling errors. The Hapa 231-IV integrates seamlessly into production lines with other flexo systems like the Hapa 231 and 237, providing modular expansion for increasing color printing requirements. Compliance with industry standards and its ability to handle diverse material types make this equipment an optimal choice for companies requiring adaptable, high-quality printing solutions.
