GSI Color Digital Printer for Secondary Packaging


GSI industrial printers for direct, flexible and sustainable color coding

If you are looking for a high-performance digital printer for secondary packaging, the GSI range is the right answer. Compact, integrable and flexible systems designed to print directly on the packaging, even in four-color process and on dark surfaces, without labels and with variable data.

With Colorize™ CMYK, Colorize™ CMYK+W and NoLabel™ technologies, printing on boxes and cartons becomes fast, sustainable and highly customizable.

All models can be controlled via touchscreen, PC, tablet or smartphone and are compatible with standard image formats such as PNG, JPG and TIFF. The GSI Colorize.IT software enables advanced and flexible message management. All versions print at 1000 FPM (304 m/min) with resolution up to 180 VDPI x 3600 HDPI, ensuring sharp and legible prints even at high line speeds.

Reduce environmental impact and simplify logistics by using standard unprinted boxes instead of pre-printed ones. Less storage, less waste, more simplicity on the production line. GSI printers also manage variable data, barcodes and real-time product information, even integrating directly with major ERP systems.
