Over the years, it has consistently regarded “continuously researching and deeply mastering the latest digital inkjet technology” as the key to enhancing the company’s core competitiveness. It has been deeply involved in the field of inkjet innovation in printing presses, focusing on digital inkjet applications for books and labels, and providing comprehensive solutions from labels to books, from black and white to color, from stand-alone machines to inline systems, and from prepress processing, printing to cutting.

HanGlobal’s core inkjet control technology enables continuous and seamless upgrades. Customers can achieve seamless and continuous upgrades without adding or replacing any equipment, significantly reducing the cost of equipment replacement.

Meanwhile, HanGlobal has taken the lead in the blue ocean market of digital printing, investing heavily in R&D. It has achieved remarkable results in core technologies and global market and product service capabilities. In 2021, HanGlobal’s label equipment received the G7 ColorSpace certification from IDEAlliance (International Digital Enterprise Alliance) in the United States, marking HanGlobal as the first domestic digital inkjet equipment manufacturer to achieve G7 certification.

Today, HanGlobal’s high-speed inkjet applications cover multiple fields such as on-demand publishing, commercial printing, quick printing, and label printing, achieving a win-win situation of “quality assurance” and “quantity assurance”. It has withstood the dual test of the market and users, becoming one of the few national high-tech enterprises in China that can independently develop printhead drive, core control system, quick-drying ink and other technologies.

Originating from a high starting point, forging “iron” quality. Guangdong Label Source Machinery Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Label Source”) was established in 2012. It is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the development and production of roll-to-roll/roll-to-sheet flexo printing presses, Full-Rotary CI letterpress printing presses, multi-functional screen printing presses, digital printing presses, and post-press die-cutting equipment. Its innovative integrated manual/automatic non-stop roll unwinding and flexo printing combination greatly reduces the loss of raw materials and the wasted time due to downtime for roll changes during production. At the same time, in order to further improve the intelligent operation level of the equipment, Label Source has independently developed a fully visual automatic registration system. Through extensive application scenario simulation and continuous iterative upgrades, it has achieved automatic recognition and accurate registration of double-sided transparent materials, bright silver materials, transparent varnishes, and matte varnishes without the need for white ink padding.

After more than ten years of operation, continuous investment, and technological innovation, Label Source has built a high-level R&D team. It has established cooperation with universities such as Xi’an University of Technology and other R&D enterprises. Design and R&D talents account for 35% of the total number of employees, and comprehensive technical talents account for 90% of the total number of employees. The quality of R&D output is impressive: to date, it has obtained 70 patents, including 11 invention patents, 54 utility model patents, and 5 design patents, and has written 7 software copyrights, forming an R&D pattern of “promoting breakthroughs through innovation”.
