Introduction
Amid the packaging printing industry’s shift toward “diversified forms, high adaptability, and rapid delivery,” the dual-function (side-standing & vertical) single pass digital printer has emerged as a core production equipment for multi-scenario applications such as paper packaging, plastic containers, and composite materials. It leverages the high-efficiency advantage of single-pass one-time forming and breaks through limitations with dual printing modes (vertical printing + side printing).
Innovative Vertical + Side Printing Configuration
Ink properties combined with dual-function requirements drive configuration differentiation.
The core advantage of single pass digital printers lies in “completing the entire printing process in one pass,”
While the side-standing & vertical dual-function design breaks through the limitations of traditional flat printing: the vertical mode enables high-efficiency mass printing on flat substrates, and the side-standing mode achieves precise side printing on round (e.g., paper tubes, plastic bottle bodies) and square (e.g., packaging box sides) substrates through specialized mechanical structure adjustments.

Water-based/UV inks: Substrate compatible
As the core carrier of printing quality and adaptability, ink directly defines the equipment’s application scope: water-based ink focuses on absorbent substrates such as paper bowls, paper cups, sugarcane fiber boxes, and cartons, with environmental friendliness and cost-effectiveness as its core advantages; UV ink targets non-absorbent substrates including laminated materials, plastics, and metals, boasting full-material compatibility and high-performance capabilities.
Selection Guide: Matching to Needs, Balancing Cost and Performance
Neither ink solution is inherently superior; the key is matching production requirements. The following provides selection suggestions based on key dimensions:
