The SG-Light is our versatile industrial printing line — a single-pass packaging printer that prints onto a wide variety of ready-made materials in one pass. Paper bags, pizza boxes, envelopes, cartons, seed papers, wooden plates — if it fits under the print head, the SG-Light prints on it.
Designed and built in Sweden, the SG-Light combines high output with easy operation. It works as a standalone printer with automatic feeding, or integrates directly into your existing production line. Ideal for small to medium production runs where speed, flexibility and print quality matter.
The SG-Light handles a wide range of packaging materials and ready-made products:
- Paper bags — Shopping bags, bakery bags, carrier bags and kraft bags
- Cardboard boxes — Pizza boxes, shipping boxes, e-commerce packaging
- Cartons and folding cartons — Food packaging, retail cartons, product boxes
- Envelopes and mailers — Branded envelopes in any size
- Specialty materials — Seed papers, wooden plates, coasters
With an object height clearance of up to 350 mm, the SG-Light prints on both thin paper and thick cardboard or wooden substrates — making it one of the most versatile packaging printers available.

Run a test print on a single item to verify color and surface reaction before starting your production run — at no extra cost in time or materials. Adjustable print settings let you fine-tune quality, resolution and speed to match your specific material and application.
Every SG-Light is built with stable structural elements, high-quality aluminum castings and electronic components from trusted suppliers. The machine meets European standards for reliability and long-term industrial use.

What materials can the SG-Light print on?
The SG-Light prints on any material that absorbs pigmented ink — paper bags, cardboard boxes, cartons, envelopes, wooden plates, seed papers and more. The material must be flat and fit within the 500 × 960 mm media size and 350 mm height clearance.
Can the SG-Light be integrated into an existing production line?
Yes. The machine features a mobile bar that can be adjusted for integration into existing conveyor or packaging lines. It also works as a standalone unit with its own automatic feeder.
What is the print quality like?
The SG-Light delivers photo-quality output using HP PageWide technology at 1200 npi. Colors are vivid, edges are sharp, and the pigmented ink provides water resistance. You can run a test print on a single item before committing to a full run.
