Integrated Metal Decorating Solutions

Koenig & Bauer MetalPrint provides equipment for every stage of the metal decorating process.

Printing Systems: The portfolio includes multi-colour offset printing presses such as the MetalStar 4 and Mailänder 283. These machines handle high production volumes and a range of sheet formats. The MetJET ONE adds digital printing capabilities for short and customised runs.

Coating Lines: The MetalCoat series applies lacquers and protective coatings using 3-roller or anilox systems. Inline inspection technology measures coating thickness and automatically adjusts lacquer application in accordance with defined coating specifications.

Sheet Handling: The Venturi air-cushion transport system moves sheets smoothly between production stages. It helps maintain reliable material flow across the line.
