Fully automatic plastic sealing machine with high-speed automation for easy creation of exquisite outerwear for books and periodicals

When you leisurely walk on the street, you must have also had the experience of stopping at the colorful newsstands on the roadside and flipping through your favorite magazines and newspapers. Nowadays, these scattered and inconspicuous small stalls have become an indispensable element of the colorful life in big cities.

Perhaps you have already noticed that the magazines displayed in these newsstands often wear a transparent "plastic coat", which not only protects books and periodicals from environmental damage, but sometimes also greatly embellishes the magazines.

At present, plastic packaging of books, magazines and periodicals has become a trend with the development of the Chinese book and magazine market. As early as a few years ago, I saw in a book and magazine printing company that manual bagging was used to complete the plastic packaging of books and magazines. This method is very suitable for a small amount of business, but if the business volume continues to expand, can the manual plastic packaging operation mode still easily cope with it?

Obviously not. Setting aside the cost of a large amount of manual work, large book and magazine printing enterprises often prioritize operational efficiency and then consider advanced, cost-effective fully automated plastic packaging solutions to prepare for the expansion of business volume and new business, and enhance their market competitiveness.

Now we will only briefly analyze the "advantages" of automated plastic packaging compared to manual plastic packaging based on feedback from a few large printing companies that have already adopted automated plastic packaging solutions.

The advantages of automated plastic packaging

1. It provides stronger protection for books, magazines, and has a more aesthetically pleasing appearance

A major disadvantage of manual plastic sealing is that the finished product is not aesthetically pleasing, especially for thinner plastic films. After manual bagging, wrinkles are prone to occur, and it is difficult to achieve a neat and beautiful seal, resulting in a high probability of plastic film damage. Automated plastic sealing can achieve clean plastic sealing and avoid waste of plastic sealing materials.

2. Ensure accurate matching of inserts

The advantage of fully automated operations is that once everything is set, the operation will proceed in an orderly manner, effectively reducing the error rate of plastic sealing. The current plastic packaging components are complex and diverse, and often require the insertion of accessories such as CDs, gift samples, trial kits, etc. Sometimes multiple plugins are inserted together. If manual operation mode is used, the error rate can be imagined.

3. Higher efficiency

In terms of work efficiency alone, the speed of automated plastic sealing is far from comparable to manual labor. In today's increasingly severe labor shortage, the advantages of automated work are even more prominent. Imagine a huge post-processing scale that originally required three to four people or even more. With the introduction of automated equipment, only a few people are needed to handle all the mechanized operations in the process. This not only frees us from the constraints of labor shortage, but also facilitates orderly and effective management.

At present, there are fully mature fully automated high-speed plastic sealing solutions in the market. For example, CMC's fully automated high-speed plastic sealing solution from Italy has been introduced by many users at home and abroad to eliminate the original manual plastic sealing mode, achieving better than expected results and promoting the trend of automated plastic sealing.

Advantages of CMC Automated Plastic Sealing Solution

1. Modular design

All CMC plastic packaging equipment is designed with modularity, allowing users to customize according to their own needs and upgrade the module functions of existing CMC equipment.

2. Multiple forms such as middle seal, side seal, and shrink wrap are available for selection

Compared to the single form of manual plastic sealing, CMC automated plastic sealing equipment can select the position of the plastic sealing interface according to the needs of end users, and try to avoid the impact of the plastic sealing interface on the appearance of books and periodicals as much as possible.

3. High speed

CMC plastic sealing machine is specially designed for high speed, and some models of equipment have always been among the fastest in the industry, such as CMCJWR, which is the fastest plastic sealing machine in the industry.

4. Flexible and effective

CMC devices can be connected to printers or binding lines for work, greatly increasing job flexibility and efficiency.

5. Special plans

In addition to adding special items such as trial packs, the CMC plastic sealing machine can also achieve special plastic sealing operations such as double bags and color head hanging holes. For the plastic sealing treatment of ultra thick books, CMC is also quite proficient.

For many years, CMC Italy has been actively exploring more advanced technologies in the field of book and magazine printing. In addition to fully automated plastic packaging solutions, they recently launched a new personalized book and magazine processing solution - CMCYouBook - at the Druba exhibition. This system can be integrated with CMC's mature packaging system to form a complete process from front-end cutting, binding to mailing.

Personalized book and magazine post-processing tool - CMC YouBook

1. The CMC YouBook system cuts and stacks the roll materials, and then completes the binding and three sided cutting operations of the files, and the entire process is fully automated without manual intervention.

2. It can be seamlessly integrated with CMC packaging, matching, distribution and other solutions.

The CMC YouBook system can be connected to any packaging, plastic or paper packaging system of CMC, and can even be added to CMC's stacking, bundling, distribution and other post-processing systems afterwards. At this Drupa exhibition, CMC mainly demonstrated the operation process of YouBook and CMC150 packaging machine in combination, directly binding roll materials into booklets, and then encapsulating them in envelopes to directly generate mailable finished products.

Nowadays, the market for journals and magazines in China is developing rapidly, with a significant increase in circulation. Printing and packaging are becoming increasingly exquisite, and accessory insertion is becoming more popular. Faced with a huge volume of business and stricter packaging quality requirements, the traditional manual plastic packaging method, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, is clearly not the best choice.

With the help of the wave of automated plastic packaging abroad, some leading printing companies in China have already embarked on a trial and error reform. For example, Beijing Shengtong Printing Co., Ltd. has already adopted the Italian CMC automated plastic packaging solution introduced by Jinglun Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. to carry out plastic packaging operations for books, magazines, and magazines. The process has been greatly improved and the efficiency has also increased several times. The evaluation of CMC automated plastic packaging solutions is highly commendable.
