Flexo Printer for Pouches
Pouch converters need width headroom for gusseted and flat-bottom formats with seal-safe ink systems. This landing page maps pouch substrates to press families.

Substrate, width, and order pattern
Substrate
Pouch webs are usually reverse-printed PE, PET, or BOPP laminates with a sealant layer. Ink must sit without blocking the fin seal or spout weld, so solvent or water-based systems are chosen against the laminate supplier, not a generic film preset.
Web width
Most stand-up pouch lines run 800–1300 mm. Gusseted and flat-bottom formats need extra width headroom so the repeat does not clip the side seal. Spout pouches often stay narrower and change SKU width several times a shift.
Typical orders
Typical orders mix a long brand colorway with short promotional SKUs. Changeover is driven by zipper, spout, and gusset variants rather than a single daily meter target. Quote the job as color count plus pouch style, not only meters per minute.
Plant example
A snack-pouch converter moving from 6-color surface print to reverse-printed barrier film usually steps from Honor stack to King CI once daily output passes about 150,000 pouches.

Master Series
Based on your profile: stand-up and spout pouches · laminated PE/PET film · 1000–1300mm · 300–400m/min
Master Series is the strongest fit for stand-up and spout pouches because Best fit when converters need a reliable CI platform for mixed film, paper, non-woven, and FFS jobs without the highest investment. At your target speed of 300–400m/min, this platform keeps register stable, startup waste low, and changeovers practical for repeat jobs.
You selected laminated PE/PET film. Master Series is engineered for film, paper, non-woven fabric, ffs heavy-duty sack. Core substrate window: film, paper, non-woven fabric, ffs heavy-duty sack. This reduces tension surprises and ink-transfer issues on your primary material.
Width target 1000–1300mm and speed 300–400m/min sit inside the Master Series envelope (1000-1600mm, 500m/min). Budget Mid to high range and High automation align with high-automation workflows at this output level.
Key advantages: Balanced CI stability; fast job changeover; wide substrate window. Tradeoff to confirm: Less suitable than King for ultra-high-speed thin-film repeat jobs. If your mix shifts toward ultra-thin film at 400–500 m/min, compare with another LISHG line before finalizing.

| Key Specifications | Master | King | Honor |
|---|---|---|---|
| Best fit | Long barrier-film runs with sleeve change | Best default for laminated pouch volume | Short SKU pouch trials and paper-laminate mixes |
| Speed focus | 350–500 m/min film | 300–400 m/min volume | 180–280 m/min trials |
| Automation | Full servo + sleeve | Servo gear CI | Stack for SKU trials |
| Decision value | Barrier reverse-print ROI | Lowest cost per pouch at volume | Promo and pilot pouches |
Pouches selection path
For pouch work, start with laminated-film width and seal-safe ink, then pick King CI for volume or Master when barrier reverse-print and sleeve change dominate the week.
