Technical Advantages
1220mm Wide-Web Design, Significantly Increasing Production Capacity Per Roll
- Accommodates roll stock up to 1,220 mm wide, significantly increasing the number of designs that can be laid out per roll compared to models with a 650 mm web width, and greatly improving output efficiency per unrolling cycle
- Supports printing on larger-sized packaging products and can simultaneously lay out multiple columns of smaller-sized products, increasing production capacity per unit of time and enabling large-scale, high-volume order production
High Speed (300 m/min) and High Precision, Suitable for High-End Orders
- Equipped with a higher-specification Rexroth servo control system and a full-line tension control system, the press achieves a maximum printing speed of 300 m/min, resulting in a significant boost in production efficiency
- Registration accuracy is maintained at ±0.1 mm, with no drift even during prolonged, continuous production at full capacity, significantly enhancing registration stability and meeting the high-precision printing requirements of high-end food packaging and premium packaging
Extremely Flexible Development with Native Support for High-End Modules
The equipment comes with built-in interfaces for high-end processes, supporting the on-demand selection of various high-value-added modules to maximize factory profitability:

- Dual-Effect Infrared + Hot Air Drying System: Delivers higher drying efficiency and more thorough ink curing
Forward-Looking Architectural Design with 15+ Year Effective Profit Life
Most printing equipment in the industry has a mechanical and physical lifespan of up to 20 years. However, because such equipment generally lacks room for upgrades, cannot adapt to new materials and processes, and has outdated IT capabilities, after 5-8 years of operation, it either becomes unable to take on new orders or incurs printing costs far higher than those of new equipment used by competitors.
The FLP1220/X-A addresses this pain point from the design stage, ensuring long-term investment value:
- Guaranteed mechanical lifespan: The machine body is constructed from heavy-duty steel plates using a welded, integral tempering process
- Modular, upgradeable architecture: Printing units, drying systems, and functional modules all feature standardized, modular designs
- Built-in interfaces for IT and automation: Native support for integration with production management systems and smart factory data platforms
- Continuous Adaptability to New Materials: The tension system and material path are designed with a wide range of adjustable parameters

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the core difference between FLP1220 and FLP650 flexo printing machines?
A: The core positioning is different: FLP650 is a cost-effective model for quick payback, suitable for SMEs, with 650mm width and 150m/min speed; FLP1220 is the Kingfisher performance model for large scale high-end customers, with 1220mm width and 300m/min speed, natively supporting high-end modules such as UV curing, cold stamping and non-stop splicing. It adopts forward-looking upgradable architecture with longer effective profitable lifespan, suitable for long-term main capacity layout.
Q: What is the maximum printing speed and registration accuracy of FLP1220?
A: The maximum printing speed can reach 300m/min, and the registration accuracy is stable at ±0.1mm. Equipped with higher specification Rexroth servo and tension system, the registration remains stable during long-time continuous high-speed production, suitable for high-end order requirements.
Q: Can this machine do high-end processes such as cold stamping and UV printing?
A: Yes, absolutely. FLP1220 natively reserves high-end process interfaces, supporting optional UV curing + water cooling, cold stamping, in-line visual inspection, non-stop splicing and other high-end modules, capable of undertaking high value-added complex process orders.
Q: What materials can this machine print? Can it adapt to new materials in the future?
A: Currently it is compatible with 100~300gsm aluminum foil paper, coated paper, white kraft paper, PE coated paper, composite paper and other high-end packaging printing substrates. The equipment adopts forward-looking architecture design, the tension system and web path reserve a wide parameter range, and can be upgraded to adapt to degradable materials and new composite functional materials in the future.
Q: What is the service life of this equipment? Will it become obsolete in a few years?
A: From two dimensions: ① Mechanical physical lifespan: With heavy-duty reinforced frame and core components from international first-tier brands, the mechanical lifespan can reach more than 20 years under standardized operation; ② Effective profitable lifespan: This is also the more critical indicator. Many equipment in the industry seem to have long mechanical lifespan, but lose competitiveness and are phased out 5-8 years after commissioning due to inability to upgrade and keep up with new materials, processes and informatization development. FLP1220 adopts forward-looking modular architecture, supports process module upgrading, reserves information interfaces, and adapts to future new materials. The effective profitable lifespan can reach more than 15 years under standard maintenance, effectively avoiding investment waste.
