Printing Systems for Nonwoven Branding and Function
topic
Nonwoven printing uses flexographic, rotary screen, or digital inkjet printing systems to apply coloured patterns, brand logos, functional agent gradients, and antimicrobial coatings onto nonwoven substrates at production speeds of 50 to 300 metres per minute, with ink formulation requiring compatibility with the specific polymer fibre surface chemistry and ink fixing by UV curing, heat setting, or drying oven according to the ink chemistry system used.
Role
Provides visual branding, colour pattern differentiation, and functional agent application on nonwoven substrates for hygiene, medical, and wipes applications where printed patterns add consumer-perceived value and functional treatments including antimicrobial, moisturising, and dermatologically active agents deliver therapeutic or sensory benefits that plain nonwovens cannot provide without print application technology.
