With the development of the global flexible packaging market, the speed, accuracy and delivery time of machines have become important indicators of competitiveness in the flexo printing manufacturing industry. Changhong’s 6 color gearless CI flexographic presses line demonstrates how servo-driven automation and continuous roll-to-roll printing are reshaping expectations for efficiency, precision, and sustainable manufacturing. Meanwhile, the 8 color CI flexo printing machine from Changhong, featuring a double station non-stop unwinding and double station non-stop winding system, has recently drawn strong attention within the printing and packaging industry.
6 Color Gearless Flexo Printing Machine
The gearless CI flexo printing machine series from Changhong meets a high-grade technical standard within the domain of printing automation. For instance, the 6-color model of this machine is capable of reaching a maximum running speed of 500 meters per minute, a figure that is significantly higher than that of conventional gear-driven printing machines..By moving away from traditional mechanical gear transmission and instead using advanced gearless full servo drive, the system gains a much more refined level of control over critical production variables such as printing speed, tension stability, ink transfer, and registration accuracy. In actual operation, this upgrade directly contributes to noticeable improvements in output efficiency, reduced material loss during setup and running, lower ongoing maintenance requirements, and an overall more dependable production process.
Beyond speed, the gearless flexo printing press integrate automatic tension control, pre-registration, ink metering, and intelligent operation interfaces. Coupled with dual-station roll handling includinig unwinding and rewinding, they deliver genuine roll-to-roll continuous printing — a dramatic step up in flexibility, efficiency, and production stability.

These systems are applicable to a wide range of materials, including films, plastic bags, aluminum foil, tissue paper bags, and other flexible packaging substrates, etc.
8 color CI Flexo Printing Machine
A core advantage of the 8 color CI flexo printing press is the integration of its double station non-stop unwinding device together with a dual station non-stop rewinding device. Unlike traditional production lines that rely on stopping the equipment, manually adjusting tension and alignment, and then replacing the roll, this system completes roll changes automatically. When the current roll is nearly finished, a new roll is spliced immediately, allowing continuous operation without shutdown and preserving stable tension throughout the process.
The direct result of this feature of continuous reel unwinding and rewinding is a significant increase in production efficiency, an improvement in material utilization, and an acceleration in turnover speed. This makes it highly suitable for those printing requirements that require uninterrupted high-speed production, are large in scale, and have long cycles. For manufacturers handling large packaging orders, this capability represents a practical way to elevate productivity and maximize operating time.
The central impression system, working together with a reinforced machine frame, offers a solid foundation for holding registration accuracy steady, even when the press is running at high speeds. With this structural stability, color alignment remains consistent and printed details stay clear and sharp across a wide range of materials, including films, plastics, aluminum foil, and paper. In practice, this creates a controlled printing environment that supports reliable results on different flexible substrates, allowing packaging converters to achieve the level of precision and visual quality expected in premium flexographic production.

Conclusion
From the standpoint of the packaging and printing industry, the daily necessities, and high-volume food packaging has drastically changed production expectations. Customers are no longer satisfied with long lead times or inconsistent color performance across large batches. In many factories, traditional printing lines that still rely on manual roll changes are gradually becoming a real production bottleneck — every stop not only interrupts workflow but also increases material waste and weakens competitiveness in a market where speed means survival.
This is why double-station non-stop unwinder and rewinder technology has drawn so much attention. When paired with a full-servo, gearless drive system, the result is a production line capable of maintaining stable tension, seamless roll-to-roll transitions, and continuous high-speed output without stopping the press. The impact is immediate: higher throughput, shorter delivery cycles, and far lower waste rates — all while preserving consistent print quality from the first meter to the last. For enterprises printing film packaging, shopping bags, or large-series commercial packaging, a CI flexo press with this level of automation is no longer a simple equipment upgrade; it represents a strategic step toward a more resilient and scalable manufacturing model.
The industry is clearly moving toward automation, intelligent control, and greener production methods. In this context, CI flexographic presses equipped with both non-stop dual-station roll change and full-servo gearless drive are rapidly becoming the new baseline standard rather than an optional premium. Companies that move early to implement this type of technology often find themselves gaining a real and lasting edge in day-to-day production — from more stable output quality to quicker turnaround on customer orders and a lower production cost per unit. For printing manufacturers who want to lead the market rather than follow behind it, investing in this class of equipment is essentially a decision to strengthen future competitiveness and support long-term, sustainable growth.
