High-Performance Plastic Container Printing Machine Manufacturer
CAI manufactures plastic container printing equipment for fast, effective high-quality printing on cups, buckets, containers, flowerpots, and lids. Since machining, assembly, and engineering processes take place in one location, we design feeding, positioning, printing, checking, and handling systems for every customer’s product. The final outcome includes print registration being stable already from the first shift and constant quality of printing thereafter.

Exact Printing on Different Plastic Containers
Printing on plastic is not merely a process of transferring a picture onto the surface. The type of plastic (PP, PET, PE, PLA), the thickness of the walls, surface tension and the design of the container play an important role in how the ink is applied and registered. CAI works out the machinery as well as the printing technique based on the actual container so that the prints are uniform, regardless of whether the print is done on a 4 ounces cup or a 5-gallon bucket.
Customize Your Machine for Your Containers
It is uncommon for plastic packaging to come in just one design. At CAI we design our equipment – including mechanical parts and controls – according to the particulars of the containers being used, including dimensions, material type, configuration, surface finish, and print requirements. This way accuracy in placement, as well as reliability, is ensured across all products.

CAI follows a comprehensive factory acceptance process before every machine is delivered. First, the confirmed machine structure and optional configurations must be correctly installed, the equipment must operate stably, and all components and functions must perform normally. The printing performance must also meet CAI’s internal standards, including ink adhesion and rub-off testing. Most importantly, the machine must meet the technical specifications and production requirements agreed upon with the customer. Only after these requirements are satisfied will the equipment be approved for delivery.
Standard delivery is 90–120 days after order confirmation. CAI has exclusive service partners in the United States, Brazil and Japan, supported by a global network of authorized partners. For urgent projects, talk to us early — we can sometimes shorten the delivery time depending on the production schedule.
