From November 10 to 13, 2026, Wenzhou Changhong Printing Machinery Co., Ltd. will participate in PLASTIMAGEN MEXICO 2026 held in Mexico City. As one of Latin America's influential professional exhibitions for the plastics and packaging sector, this event brings together enterprises and professional visitors engaged in plastic processing, packaging, printing, raw materials, machinery and related technologies. It serves as a platform for technical exchange, product presentation and business collaboration across the industry.
At this exhibition, Changhong will showcase its new 6color CI flexo printing machine. Catering to the printing demands of flexible packaging, plastic films and roll-fed materials across Mexico and North America, we will present flexo printing solutions adaptable to diverse substrates and production requirements.
Through PLASTIMAGEN MEXICO 2026, Changhong aims to gain deeper insights into the operational needs of local packaging printing businesses in Mexico. We will hold face-to-face discussions with flexible packaging manufacturers, plastic film processors, printing houses, packaging material suppliers and professional buyers, delivering flexo printing machine solutions tailored to the real production scenarios of regional clients.
Mexico's Flexible Packaging Market: Rising Need for Flexo Printing Gear
Mexico is a key manufacturing and packaging hub in North America. Robust growth in the food, beverage, personal care, medical, agricultural and industrial industries has continuously driven up local packaging material demand.
Lightweight, material-efficient and easy to transport, flexible packaging features versatile printing performance and is widely used for civilian and industrial packaging across diverse sectors.
Flexible packaging manufacturers process various roll substrates such as plastic films, paper, nonwovens and composite materials. Reliable, high-efficiency flexo printing equipment is essential for precise graphic, text and brand printing, making flexo printing machinees core production equipment for the industry.
Common films including PE, LDPE, HDPE, BOPP, PET and CPP vary greatly in thickness, surface property and tension performance. This requires printing machines to deliver stable web handling, accurate tension control, precise register and stable drying results.
Local Mexican manufacturers select flexo machines based on comprehensive factors beyond price, including substrate adaptability, color configuration, web width, running speed, register stability and long-term production needs.
Changhong joins PLASTIMAGEN MEXICO 2026 to solve these practical production challenges, delivering customized, cost-effective flexo printing solutions for clients in Mexico and North America.
New 6 Color CI Flexo Printing Machine as Exhibition Highlight
Changhong's main exhibit at this trade show is its brand-new 6 color CI flexo printing machine.
Designed with a central impression drum, this unit keeps web movement stable through the full print cycle. It cuts down material shift and variation over multi-color print jobs for far better register stability. Paired with solid tension control and accurate print stations, it handles non-stop multi-color printing for roll materials such as plastic films, paper and nonwovens.
Its six-color setup meets complex graphic and brand design demands for food, personal-care, agricultural and other flexible packaging. When running production non-stop, the machine balances print speed, register accuracy and reliable operation. This helps packaging manufacturers boost output while keeping print quality consistent.
We offer custom setups for each customer. Modifications can cover print substrates, web width, number of print colours, running speed and product types, so the machine fits real-world flexible packaging production needs.

Flexible Packaging Printing Solutions for the Mexican Market
Mexico hosts a diverse range of packaging products, and local clients hold widely differing requirements for flexo printing machinery.
Some packaging manufacturers focus on plastic film packaging and demand reliable multi-color printing for PE, BOPP, PET and similar materials. Others specialise in paper bags and food packaging paper, prioritising stable web control during paper printing. Additional producers work with agricultural packaging, industrial packaging and nonwoven rolls, requiring presses with broad substrate compatibility.
Changhong provides matching flexo printing solutions to address these varied operational demands.
- Plastic Film Printing: For PE, LDPE, HDPE, BOPP, PET, CPP and other plastic films, suited for food packaging, personal care packaging, shopping bags and industrial packaging printing.
- Paper Printing: Applicable to paper sacks, food packaging paper, cup base stock and other roll paper printing.
- Nonwoven Printing: Designed for nonwoven packaging bags, hygiene material rolls and other nonwoven web printing.
- PP Woven Material Printing: Ideal for fertiliser sacks, feed bags, rice bags, flour bags, seed bags, sugar sacks and industrial woven packaging.
- Composite Material Printing: For multi-layer packaging such as plastic composite films, paper-plastic composites and aluminium-plastic laminates. Machine configurations are customised according to client substrates and printing specifications.
By combining different machine models and configurations, Changhong develops targeted solutions covering machine structure, printing colours, web width, speed and substrate adaptability based on each customer's actual production conditions.

Beyond Equipment Supply: Focused on Clients' Real Production Needs
For flexible packaging converters, the suitability of a flexo printing machine cannot be judged solely by price or maximum theoretical speed.
Buyers must evaluate multiple factors during procurement:
- Printing Substrates: Materials differ in thickness, tension behaviour and surface characteristics, requiring matched press architecture and tension control systems.
- Web Width: Proper printing width is determined by existing product lines and future order pipelines, avoiding undercapacity or over-specification.
- Printing Colors: Packaging items have varied color requirements. Multi-color setups such as 6-color or 8-color configurations meet diverse pattern and brand design demands.
- Production Speed: Machine speed should align with order volumes, substrate properties and production workflows instead of chasing higher theoretical speed blindly.
- Register Accuracy: Multi-color flexo printing demands stable registration. Reliable web transport and tension control are critical especially for high-speed runs on flexible films.
- Downstream Processing: If printed webs undergo lamination, slitting or bag making afterwards, the upstream printing press must be selected with the full production workflow in mind.
When communicating with clients, Changhong recommends optimised equipment solutions based on their substrates, product types, web width, color requirements and target output.
