Label Roll-to-Roll Coating Solutions
High-Quality Surface Protection for Digital & Flexographic Label Production
Introduction
Double100 provides professional roll-to-roll coating solutions designed for modern label converters, digital label printers, and flexible packaging producers. Our 350mm UV roll coater delivers stable, durable, and scratch-resistant finishes for labels used in food packaging, logistics, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, beverages, and small-format packaging.
Whether you run a small digital label print shop or a mid-sized label factory, our system ensures strong adhesion, stable coating, low defect rates, and high operational efficiency.
Why Label Printers Need Offline Coating Systems
Digital label printing is growing rapidly worldwide—driven by short runs, more SKUs, and fast delivery requirements.
However, many small and medium label converters lack reliable surface protection equipment, resulting in:
Scratches during rewinding or packing
Poor gloss / matte consistency
Low adhesion on PET / BOPP / PP films
Limited finishing capabilities of entry-level digital presses
Double100’s 350mm Roll-to-Roll UV Coating System is designed specifically to fill this gap and upgrade finishing quality without requiring expensive inline units.
Market Trend — Short Runs, Fast Delivery, Higher Quality
Small-batch digital label printing becomes mainstream
Print jobs commonly range from 200–2000 meters, requiring flexible and low-cost finishing equipment.
Many digital label printers do not include lamination/coating units
Especially:
👉 These printers rely on separate offline coating to achieve durable surface protection.
Entry-level Epson / Afinia / Primera
Small domestic digital presses
Low-configuration Konica Minolta / Ricoh units
Traditional flexo lines with limited finishing modules
Coating Challenges in Label Printing
1. PET / BOPP Gloss Uniformity Issues (Orange Peel Effect)
Low-surface-energy films can cause coating liquid to shrink and create orange peel.
Double100 Solution:
Optional corona treatment to improve surface energy
Optimized coating roller + UV curing for smoother finish
Suitable for most PET/BOPP labels after printing
2. Scratch Resistance for Digital Toner & UV Inkjet
Digital toner and UV inkjet labels scratch easily during:
Slitting
Rewinding
Transport
Application
Double100 Solution:
UV gloss / matte topcoat for strong protection
Optional low-temperature LED-UV curing for heat-sensitive films
Adjustable coating thickness for premium anti-scratch finish
3. No Need for Complex Multi-Step Lines
Some customers worry coating requires several machines (primer + IR + UV).
This is unnecessary for 90% of label applications.
Double100’s R2R system works as a simple, single-step solution:
✔ Print → ✔ Offline UV Coating → ✔ Slitting / Die Cutting
Primer is optional only for high-end applications (e.g., HP Indigo, food-grade packaging).
