Cylindrical Inkjet Printers

Cylindrical inkjet printers utilize direct-to-object printing technology to print images directly onto cylindrical and conical products. These include both straight-wall and tapered parts. Cylindrical inkjet printing uses advanced UV-curable inks to print directly onto the product surface. The ink is instantly cured with UV LED technology, creating seamless, scratch-resistant, chemical-resistant, and vibrant graphics that adhere to a wide variety of materials.

Direct-to-object printing eliminates many of the costs associated with labels and the multi-step decorating process while enabling variable data printing, personalization, and short production runs.

Drinkware is the most common printing application for these cylinder printing machines. Examples include glassware, stadium cups, tumblers, shot glasses, water bottles, cosmetic packaging, and candles. Whether you’re launching a custom drinkware business, upgrading your production line, or expanding your industrial decorating capabilities, Boston Industrial Solutions delivers reliable cylindrical UV printing solutions backed by years of application expertise.
