Frequently asked questions

Can I print on already-made paper bags?
Yes. The overprinter is specifically designed for printing on finished packaging. You feed ready-made bags, boxes or cartons through the machine and print directly onto them.
How long does installation take?
The mobile stand makes setup fast — typically within a day. The printer connects to power and data, and the height is adjusted to match your line. We provide training for your operators.
Can it print different designs on each item?
Yes. With the Xitron Variegator add-on, you can print variable data — different logos, barcodes, addresses or batch codes on every single item.
What is the difference between the Overprinter and the Paper Bag Printer?
The Paper Bag Printer is a standalone machine with its own automatic feeder and delivery system. The Overprinter is designed to be added to an existing production line or conveyor, using a mobile stand for flexible positioning.
