1224 Semi-auto 4 Color Printer Slotter

1224 Semi-auto 4 Color Printer Slotter

The 1224 Semi-auto 4 Color Printer Slotter is a corrugated cardboard processing machine that combines four-color flexographic printing with carton slotting. The machine is designed for producing printed and slotted corrugated sheets that can be further processed into cartons and other packaging structures.

The 1224 model specification identifies the machine configuration and distinguishes it from other models with different working dimensions. Its four-color printing system provides multiple printing units for transferring different colors onto corrugated cardboard, while the slotting section forms the structural grooves required for carton folding.

Four-Color Flexographic Printing

The printing section incorporates four color printing units for processing packaging graphics on corrugated cardboard. Each printing unit can apply a corresponding ink color through its printing plate, allowing multiple-color text, patterns, symbols, and product information to be reproduced on the cardboard surface.

Four-color printing is suitable for carton designs that contain more detailed graphics and color combinations. Different printing plates can be installed according to the artwork and packaging requirements of individual carton products.

Carton Slotting

The slotting section is designed to create the grooves and slots required for corrugated carton construction. These slots separate the carton flaps and provide the folding clearance needed to form the finished box structure.

The slotting arrangement can be adjusted according to the dimensions and design of the carton blank. Different carton structures can therefore use corresponding slotting positions and processing settings.

1224 Machine Configuration

The 1224 configuration provides a specific machine size and processing arrangement for corrugated cardboard applications. It can be used for carton designs that fall within the applicable working range of this model.

The actual cardboard dimensions, printing layout, and slotting positions are determined according to the machine configuration and the carton design being processed.

Printing and Slotting Process

Corrugated cardboard is introduced through the feeding section and transferred through the four-color printing units. The printing plates apply the required colors to the cardboard surface in sequence.

After the printing operation, the cardboard enters the slotting section, where the required carton grooves and flap slots are formed. The processed sheet can then move to subsequent operations such as folding, gluing, stitching, or bundling.

Semi-Automatic Operation

The semi-automatic configuration combines machine-based printing and slotting with manual material handling. Operators can load corrugated cardboard sheets into the feeding section and collect the processed carton blanks after completion.

This operating method is suitable for carton production workflows where manual loading and unloading are incorporated into the manufacturing process.

Corrugated Cardboard Processing

The machine is intended for corrugated cardboard and carton packaging materials. The four-color printing function handles the surface printing requirements, while the slotting function prepares the cardboard for folding and carton formation.

Different cardboard materials and carton designs may require corresponding adjustments to printing and slotting settings to achieve the required processing result.

Printed Carton Production

The four-color printing capability allows packaging designs to contain multiple colors, including product information, identification marks, handling instructions, graphics, and decorative elements.

After printing and slotting, the corrugated cardboard becomes a carton blank with both printed content and structural slots. It can then be transferred to downstream carton-forming processes.

Applications

The 1224 Semi-auto 4 Color Printer Slotter can be used for:

• Corrugated shipping cartons

• Product packaging boxes

• Industrial packaging cartons

• Retail packaging

• Printed corrugated boxes

• Regular slotted cartons

• Transport packaging

• Multi-color carton blanks

• Corrugated packaging products

The machine is suitable for corrugated cardboard processing applications that require four-color flexographic printing and carton slotting within the same production workflow.
