As packaging converters face increasing demand for shorter print runs, faster deliveries, and greater product customization, conventional printing systems often struggle to deliver the flexibility modern businesses require. PrintGraph’s VersaFlex has been developed to address these evolving market needs by offering a versatile, high-performance inline flexographic printing solution specifically designed for short-run production.

Built on a robust wide-web platform, VersaFlex combines efficiency, quality, and adaptability, enabling converters to serve multiple industries while maximizing productivity and profitability.

Built for the New Age of Packaging

Today’s packaging market is driven by SKU proliferation, rapid product launches, and personalized packaging. Brands expect converters to deliver high-quality print jobs with shorter lead times and minimal setup waste. VersaFlex addresses these challenges by significantly reducing makeready time while maintaining excellent print quality throughout production.

Whether printing flexible packaging, paper and paperboard, or industrial specialty applications, VersaFlex offers the versatility needed to meet changing customer demands without requiring multiple dedicated machines.

One Machine. Multiple Applications.

One of VersaFlex’s greatest strengths is its ability to handle a wide range of substrates across various industries. The machine is suitable for:

  • Flexible Packaging
  • Paper & Paperboard Printing
  • Industrial & Specialty Printing

This flexibility enables converters to diversify their business, expand into new market segments, and maximize equipment utilization from a single investment.

Faster Changeovers, Higher Productivity

Short-run printing demands quick job transitions. VersaFlex incorporates several intelligent engineering features that dramatically reduce setup time.

The Side Loading Plate Sleeve Design allows operators to replace plate sleeves quickly and conveniently, eliminating unnecessary downtime and simplifying changeovers.

Additionally, the Sleeve-Type Plate Mounting System provides a true plug-and-play workflow. Operators can:

  • Complete setups rapidly
  • Achieve accurate registration consistently
  • Reduce substrate waste during makeready
  • Improve overall production efficiency

These features help converters complete more jobs per shift while lowering operational costs.

Heavy-Duty Construction for Reliable Performance

Although designed for short-run jobs, VersaFlex is built with a robust heavy-duty frame that delivers exceptional stability even at high operating speeds. This ensures consistent print registration, reduced vibration, and dependable long-term performance.

The machine combines industrial durability with user-friendly operation, making it suitable for both experienced operators and growing converting businesses.
