For most products, changing the cup mold takes around 30 minutes, while printing plates can usually be replaced within a few minutes. Most of the changeover time is spent on printing adjustment and ink preparation. Typically, a product changeover takes 2–3 hours, while more complex applications, such as switching to positioning printing, may require half a day to one full day.
The standard lead time is typically 90–120 days, depending on the machine configuration. CAI’s efficient manufacturing process allows us to prioritize urgent orders when needed and coordinate production to shorten the delivery time, while maintaining strict quality standards before shipment.
