Applications
Digital Printing for Corrugated Packaging Applications
TYCHEN scanning and single-pass systems support flexible short-run work and continuous high-volume corrugated packaging production across multiple application types.
CORRUGATED BOARD / DIGITAL WORKFLOW / PRODUCTION FIT
Application Map
What can corrugated digital printing produce?
The application defines the artwork and packaging purpose; the order pattern determines the right printing architecture. Short, changing jobs generally favour scanning, while stable, continuous volume favours single-pass production.
01
E-commerce packaging
Changing SKUs, campaign artwork and smaller order batches benefit from plate-free file changes and flexible scheduling.
Flexible batches → Scanning → TYCHEN 2500
02
Food & beverage packaging
Packaging may require either varied regional artwork or stable repeated designs. Select the system by run length and change frequency, not industry name alone.
03
Fresh produce packaging
Seasonal products and changing pack information can favour flexible scanning; repeated high-volume produce boxes can favour continuous single-pass output.
Seasonal variety → Scanning · Repeated volume → Single Pass
04
Appliances & consumer goods
Multiple product specifications suit flexible job switching, while established packaging lines with consistent artwork suit continuous production.
Multiple specifications → Scanning · Unified batches → Single Pass
05
Advertising & promotional displays
Campaign-led graphics, changing designs and limited quantities align with the high flexibility and image quality of scanning production.
Campaign changes → Scanning → TYCHEN 2500
06
Custom & personalised packaging
Brand variants, event packaging and differentiated designs benefit from direct file changes without printing plates or minimum-run constraints.
Personalised output → Scanning → TYCHEN 2500
Production Paths
Choose by order pattern, not packaging label
01 / Scanning
Flexible jobs and frequent changes
- Small-volume, multi-batch orders
- Multiple designs or specifications
- Personalised and campaign packaging
- Frequent file and job changes
Reciprocating print carriage
02 / Single Pass
Stable volume and continuous output
- Large, stable order volumes
- High-speed continuous production
- Unified specifications and fixed artwork
- High-capacity production requirements
Fixed printheads · continuous board feed
System Fit
Match the printing system to the job
Use the production requirement as the primary decision factor, then confirm board size, volume and target speed with a product specialist.
| Application requirement | Production pattern | Recommended technology | Relevant product |
|---|---|---|---|
| Frequent artwork changes | Shorter jobs and repeated file switching | Scanning | TYCHEN 2500 |
| Personalised packaging | Many designs or differentiated output | Scanning | TYCHEN 2500 |
| Stable repeated artwork | Larger batches with fewer changes | Single Pass | TYCHEN 1450 / 1800 |
| Continuous high-volume output | High-capacity production flow | Single Pass | TYCHEN 1450 / 1800 |

Why Digital Printing
A digital workflow for changing and continuous packaging demand
Both TYCHEN technologies print directly from TIF or PDF files without printing plates. Their production strengths differ according to how the print system moves.
SHARED: DIRECT FILE INPUT / NO PLATES
SCANNING: FLEXIBILITY / JOB CHANGES
SINGLE PASS: CONTINUITY / CAPACITY
01
Direct digital files
TIF and PDF artwork can enter the digital workflow without making printing plates.
02
Flexible job switching
Scanning production is suited to smaller batches, multiple designs and frequent job changes.
03
Continuous digital production
Single-pass production keeps the printheads fixed while boards move continuously through the print area.
