Many packaging business owners only look at the upfront price when buying equipment. A cheap press seems like a good deal—until 2 years later, when you’re shocked by:
- Higher electricity bills
- Massive material waste
- Slow job changes
- Lost high-end orders
The small upfront savings are doubly lost in operating costs.
LISHENG King Series 8-color 1200 CI flexo press is not the cheapest. But after you calculate these 5 cost accounts, you’ll see it’s the most profitable choice.
Account 1: Job Change Material Waste
How much do you throw away every year?
Traditional press:
- 250 meters wasted per job change
- 2 changes/day × 300 days = 150,000 meters/year
- At ¥0.5/m: ¥75,000/year lost
King Series (one‑key pre-registration):
- Only 50 meters wasted per job change
- 2 changes/day × 300 days = 30,000 meters/year
-
Cost: ¥15,000/year
Annual material saving: ¥60,000
Account 2: Color Calibration Time
How much production time are you losing?
Traditional: Manual color adjustment → 10 minutes/job
2 jobs/day = 20 minutes lost
King Series (intelligent closed‑loop color control):
- 1 minute/job
- Gain 18 minutes of production per day
At 300 meters/min:
- Daily extra output: 18 × 300 = 5,400 meters
- Yearly: 1,620,000 meters
-
At ¥0.1/m processing fee: ¥162,000 extra profit/year
This is pure squeezed profit—no extra orders, no overtime.
Account 3: Plate Change Labor
Can 1 worker do the job?
Traditional: Heavy plate rolls → 2 workers × 20 minutes
King Series (sleeve technology):
- Lightweight fiberglass sleeves
- 1 worker × 3 minutes total
Daily labor saving: 74 minutes
At ¥40/hour:
-
¥49 saved/day → ¥14,700/year
Account 4: Electricity Cost
How much do full servo drives save?
Traditional gear drive: Continuous idle power consumption
King Series (full servo): Power on demand
- 20%–30% energy saving (25% avg.)
80kW, 5000 hours/year, ¥0.8/kWh:
- Traditional: ¥320,000/year
- King Series: ¥240,000/year
Annual electricity saving: ¥80,000
Over 8 years: ¥640,000 total saved
Account 5: Scrap Rate
1% less scrap = hundreds of thousands saved
Traditional:
- Speed rifts cause registration drift
- Scrap rate: 3%–5%
King Series:
- Full servo closed‑loop control
- Water‑cooled 1600mm central drum
- Floating roller constant tension
- Scrap rate controlled within 1.5%
For ¥20,000,000 annual output:
- Traditional (4%): ¥800,000 scrap loss
- King Series (1.5%): ¥300,000 scrap loss
Annual scrap saving: ¥500,000
