At Graphics International Group, research and development is an important part of how we continue to improve our printing, automation, and packaging machinery solutions. Our focus is on helping manufacturers print more efficiently, improve product quality, reduce production challenges, and adapt to changing market demands.
We work closely with clients to better understand their products, production goals, materials, decorating requirements, and technical challenges. This allows us to develop practical solutions that support real manufacturing needs, not just standard machine designs.
Every manufacturer has different products, shapes, materials, speeds, and decorating requirements. Our R&D approach is focused on creating machinery and technical solutions that work in real production environments.
From bottle and container printing to tube printing, cap printing, flat object printing, automation, handling systems, and inspection-related equipment, we continue to evaluate ways to improve performance, accuracy, consistency, and ease of operation.
Our goal is to help customers achieve cleaner print results, better efficiency, stronger reliability, and smoother integration into their existing production lines.
Graphics International Group understands that not every product can be handled with an off-the-shelf solution. Many customers require custom machine configurations, specialized tooling, custom fixtures, product handling solutions, or automation designed around unique shapes and production requirements.
Our team reviews each application carefully to determine the most effective printing method, machine layout, fixture design, and production process. This allows us to support a wide range of products including plastic bottles, jars, containers, lids, caps, tubes, pails, promotional products, and flat surfaces.
Before a printing solution is finalized, proper testing and evaluation are essential. Our research and development process may include reviewing product samples, print areas, material types, surface conditions, ink requirements, curing requirements, cycle time expectations, and production goals.
This process helps determine the right machine configuration and supports better print quality, stronger adhesion, proper registration, and more reliable long-term performance.
Graphics International Group continues to support customers with advanced printing solutions for a wide variety of applications. Our machinery can support screen printing, digital printing, UV printing, and specialized decorating systems depending on the product and production requirement.
Our R&D efforts focus on improving print consistency, production speed, ink performance, curing systems, product handling, changeover efficiency, and automation compatibility.
Proper tooling and product handling are critical to successful printing. As part of our research and development process, we review how each product is loaded, held, rotated, positioned, printed, cured, unloaded, and inspected.
For complex product shapes, tapered containers, curved surfaces, irregular parts, or multi-sided printing applications, custom tooling and fixtures may be required. Our goal is to design practical handling solutions that improve print accuracy, reduce movement, and support repeatable results.
Modern manufacturers need equipment that helps improve production efficiency while reducing unnecessary labour and downtime. Graphics International Group continues to explore automation options that can support faster production, improved consistency, and smoother workflow.
This may include inline systems, conveyors, automatic loading and unloading, orientation systems, vision support, curing integration, inspection support, and downstream packaging equipment.
When companies launch new products, packaging, containers, or promotional items, they often need printing solutions that can grow with them. Graphics International Group supports new product development by helping clients understand what is possible before they move into full production.
By reviewing the product design early, we can help identify print limitations, fixture requirements, surface challenges, and machinery options that may improve the final result.
Research and development is not only about building new machines. It is also about improving existing equipment, refining machine performance, solving technical challenges, and helping customers get better results from their production lines.
Graphics International Group is committed to continuous improvement in machine design, automation, print quality, durability, operator experience, and customer support.
Strong research and development helps reduce risk before production begins. It allows customers to test ideas, confirm printing requirements, improve product handling, and choose equipment that better fits their manufacturing goals.
At Graphics International Group, our R&D process helps customers move from concept to production with greater confidence.
Whether you are developing a new product, improving an existing production line, or looking for a custom printing solution, Graphics International Group can help you evaluate the right machinery and process for your application.
Our team is ready to review your product, discuss your goals, and help develop a practical printing or automation solution for your business.
