Previously, suitcases and trolley cases were all made using traditional printing methods. Basically, some were not printed, and the finished products were sold directly on the market. Such products appear to be very simple and have no characteristics, but now they are personalized. In the era, many trolley case manufacturers have begun to get involved in the personalized customization industry, letting the trolley case show their individuality, and the trolley case printer is a new type of printing equipment in this industry. Its simple operation, batch printing, and vivid colors make it popular. Micolorprint has a high-profile UV printer that is tailor-made for trolley cases.

- The color calibration is complicated and cannot be modified once the version is finalized.
- The process is cumbersome, and the production cycle is long.
- The cost of screen printing is high, and the screen printing points cannot be eliminated, mass production is required to reduce costs.
- Sublimation ink is used for thermal transfer printing to print the picture on the transfer paper first, and then transfer it to the surface of the medium. There are several difficult problems: color deviation and positioning deviation. The finished picture is easier to scrape off. If it is poor, it usually needs to be sprayed with another protective film. In addition, the transfer of special media also requires flexographic printing.
- Traditional sign making generally adopts the method of engraving + corrosion + paint filling, or laser engraving, which can only make monochromatic signs, but can’t do anything with colorful patterns.
- The rejection rate of multiple overprinting is high, and the color deviation is large.
- Skilled printing technicians with many years of rich experience are required.
- More personnel are required, and the proportion of handmade is high.
