Maximising efficiency, minimising costs: How the ROLAND 700 Evolution Ultima® transforms high-end packaging production
When innovative technology and intelligent manufacturing converge, a revolution in printing quality emerges. Ideal Packaging Group, a leading printer in the Chinese packaging industry, has launched the ROLAND 700 Evolution Ultima® 10-colour with double coating press (9DLTTDV), marking another milestone in its partnership with Manroland.
This new addition follows the successful deployment of the ROLAND 700 Evolution 7-colour with double coating and Inline Foiler, further strengthening Ideal’s capabilities in high-end packaging. It also underscores Manroland’s commitment to empowering the industry with state-of-the-art technology.
As Manroland’s flagship Ultima® model, custom-made for Ideal, the ROLAND 700 Ultima® serves as an “ultra-all-purpose printing machine,” driving efficiency and precision. The press achieves a breakthrough in multi-process online production with its OnePass© one-time paper feeding technology. This innovation consolidates complex processes that traditionally required multiple loading stages into a single seamless operation, reducing material waste and significantly shortening delivery times. Its dual coating unit, followed by a printing unit, not only meets standard glazing requirements but also enables precise execution of specialized finishes, offering limitless possibilities for high-end packaging design.
From installation to technical training, the Manroland team provides comprehensive “zero-distance” service support, ensuring maximum efficiency from day one. This collaboration extends beyond equipment delivery – it represents a shared commitment to quality and innovation.
As a key strategic partner of Manroland in China, Ideal Packaging Group has now introduced four ROLAND 700 series presses. The commissioning of this latest Ultima® model strengthens the long-standing trust between the two companies and signifies a shift from large-scale production to high-end customisation.
Looking ahead, Manroland will continue to drive industry transformation through innovation, exploring advanced fields such as smart factories and digital printing in collaboration with Ideal. Together, they aim to elevate “China Intelligent Manufacturing” onto the global stage. By harnessing cutting-edge technology, Manroland will continue partnering with industry leaders like Ideal to shape the future of printing and packaging.
