The system prints on multiple lanes simultaneously and quickly traverses to print multiple rows before starting the next machine cycle. Suitable for use on a wide variety of hf/f/s and IV bagforming machines that produce multiple lanes and multiple rows of packages per cycle, the traversing system maximizes production throughput and flexibility, the co. states.
