The rotary printer excels in bottle printing with its ability to deliver 360-degree seamless, full-coverage printing. This means designs can be effortlessly printed in full size on bottles, from small logos and labels to full-scale custom prints. Moreover, the rotary printer can print on a variety of materials, including metal, glass, plastic, wood, and ceramics, offering tremendous flexibility in print substrates and applications. Particularly for custom wine bottle labels and other personalized items, rotary printing provides an efficient and cost-effective solution.
A cylinder printer is a digital UV printing solution designed for seamless 360° printing on cylindrical and conical objects. By combining rotary motion with UV inkjet technology, cylinder printers enable full-wrap, high-precision printing directly on products such as glass cups, bottles, tumblers, metal containers, and other round items.
Our cylinder printing solutions are built for manufacturers and branding producers who require stable output, consistent color accuracy, and reliable performance across different cylindrical product sizes and materials.
What Is a Cylinder Printer?
A cylinder printer uses rotary UV printing technology to print graphics while the object rotates along its axis. This synchronized movement allows the printer to apply ink evenly around the surface, achieving true 360-degree wrap-around printing without seams, overlap, or image distortion.
Compared with flatbed printing on round objects, digital cylinder printing offers:
Higher alignment accuracy
Cleaner full-wrap graphics
Faster production for cylindrical products
Better consistency for repeated runs
This makes cylinder printers ideal for both custom printing and small to medium-scale production.
Key Features of Our Cylinder Printers
Seamless 360° Rotary Printing
Our cylinder printers support rotary printing with white, color, and varnish layers, enabling rich visual effects and professional finishes. Continuous rotation ensures smooth image transitions around the entire circumference of the product.
Wide Diameter & Length Compatibility
Designed for versatility, the system supports:
Printing diameter from 30 mm to 320 mm
Print length from 40 mm up to 1500 mm
Tapered and conical products with taper drop up to 5° and height variation up to 8 mm
This flexibility allows printing on a wide range of cylindrical and conical items without manual repositioning.
High-Precision UV Inkjet Technology
With a print accuracy of 720 × 720 dpi, the printer delivers sharp text, clear logos, and stable color reproduction. UV inks (CMYK + White + Varnish) cure instantly, ensuring strong adhesion and resistance to scratching, moisture, and daily handling.
Efficient & Consistent Production Speed
For standard designs, printing can be completed in around 60 seconds per piece (based on an 80 mm image in CMYK), making the system suitable for both customized orders and small batch production.
Professional Workflow Integration
The cylinder printer supports common graphic formats including TIFF, JPG, EPS, PDF, PNG, AI, and PSD, processed through professional RIP software. This ensures easy integration into existing production workflows.
Applications of Cylinder Printers
Drinkware & Glass Cup Printing
Perfect for glass cups, tumblers, mugs, and bottles, delivering high-quality branding with full-wrap visuals.
Cylindrical & Conical Packaging
Ideal for cosmetic containers, beverage bottles, metal tubes, and packaging cylinders, enabling direct-to-surface UV printing without labels.
Promotional & Custom Products
Cylinder printers are widely used for customized cylindrical products, offering fast setup and flexible design changes for promotional campaigns and personalized items.
Cylinder Printing vs Flatbed Printing on Cylindrical Objects
| Feature | Cylinder Printer | Flatbed Printer |
| 360° full-wrap printing | ✔ Yes | ✘ No |
| Rotary alignment | ✔ Automatic | ✘ Manual |
| Tapered product support | ✔ Yes | ✘ Limited |
| Production efficiency | High | Lower |
| Print consistency | Excellent | Moderate |
For professional cylindrical product printing, dedicated cylinder printers deliver more reliable and scalable results.
How to Choose the Right Cylinder Printer
When selecting a cylinder printer, focus on these key parameters:
| Selection Factor | Why It Matters |
| Printing diameter range | Determines compatible product sizes |
| Maximum print length | Supports taller or long cylindrical products |
| Taper handling ability | Critical for conical bottles and cups |
| Printing speed | Affects daily production capacity |
| Ink configuration | White + varnish enables premium finishes |
If your production involves various cylindrical and conical products, a printer with wide diameter support and taper compensation is essential for long-term efficiency.
