The Short Answer
This is a screen printing machine dedicated to TPU tape, including transparent TPU tape. The tape runs roll-to-roll, and the machine can print single-color or multi-color work. It uses dedicated TPU ink, low-temperature drying and tension control; the machine structure is modified for TPU tape so the print stays clear, the tape does not shrink or deform, and multi-color registration stays precise.
What It Prints
- Transparent TPU tape
- Bra and underwear straps
- Swimwear and sportswear elastic bands
- Garment accessory tapes
- Transparent decorative tape
Why TPU Tape Needs a Dedicated Machine
TPU tape is heat-sensitive and elastic. If the drying temperature is too high, the tape can shrink or deform; if the tension is not controlled, the print position can move. A standard setup is not enough for consistent TPU tape production. The machine structure is modified for TPU tape, with dedicated TPU ink, low-temperature drying, and stable tension control.
Printing Priorities
- Print clarity — the main requirement. The logo, text, and edges must be sharp and complete.
- Shrinkage — the tape must not shrink or deform after printing. Low-temperature drying and tension control protect the tape; the final result is confirmed on a sample.
- Multi-color registration — single-color and multi-color work are both supported, with precise registration.
- Tape stability — the roll must run flat and stable through the print and drying sections.
How the Machine Is Set Up
- Dedicated TPU ink
- Low-temperature drying to protect the tape from heat shrinkage
- Tension control to keep the tape stable
- Machine structure modified for TPU tape
- Roll-to-roll feeding
- Single-color or multi-color printing
- Working width, print area, and output confirmed with the actual tape sample
This is a TPU tape dedicated machine, not a general-purpose screen printer with a different label.
Applications
- Bra and underwear straps
- Swimwear and sportswear elastic bands
- Garment accessory tapes
- Transparent decorative tape
