Flexo Non Woven Bag Printing Machine: ZXH Series Specs, Compliance & Selection Guide

Published: August 12, 2026  |  By Zhejiang Zhengxin Machinery Co., Ltd.

When buyers search for a non woven bag printing machine, they are usually evaluating three things at once: print quality and color count, machine configuration and automation, and the compliance documents needed for smooth import and certification audits. This guide focuses on the ZXH series flexo non woven bag printing machines from Zhejiang Zhengxin Machinery Co., Ltd. (ZX Zhengxin Machinery), including the ZXH-C41200 four-color flexo machine and ZXH-C21200 two-color flexo machine, with reference to the ZXH-B1200 and ZXH-A1200 screen printing models where configuration decisions overlap.

What is a flexo non woven bag printing machine?

A flexo non woven bag printing machine is a roll-to-roll printing press that applies water-based flexographic ink onto non-woven fabric, typically PP spunbond non-woven used for shopping bags, promotional bags, and packaging. Unlike tabletop or semi-automatic screen printing, a flexo machine prints from a fabric roll and rewinds the printed fabric in one continuous pass, so the printed roll can feed directly into a non-woven bag making machine.

ZX Zhengxin Machinery is a Wenzhou-based manufacturer of non-woven bag making machines, flexo printing machines, and complete non-woven bag production lines. The company operates a 60,000 m² factory with about 200 employees and 30 R&D engineers. Its ZXH series printing machines are used by bag manufacturers across Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

Why print quality and registration accuracy matter in non-woven bag production

Printed non-woven bags are often supplied to supermarkets, retail chains, and promotional product buyers. These customers inspect logo sharpness, color consistency, and edge alignment. If print registration drifts, bags are rejected, and the manufacturer loses both material and delivery time.

In the ZXH-C41200 flexo non woven bag printing machine, the main drive uses a servo motor to maintain printing accuracy and speed. The machine is also equipped with an auto deviation correction function, which helps keep the fabric path stable during long runs. For screen printing models such as the ZXH-A1200, color registration error is kept within 2 millimeters, and the printing position can be adjusted by moving the screen frame, eliminating the need for multiple molds.

ZXH series non woven bag printing machine models at a glance

All ZXH series printing machines use carbon steel, stainless steel, and alloy steel construction. The ZXH-C41200 and ZXH-C21200 are CE-certified. The ZXH-C41200 and ZXH-A1200 are ISO 9001:2015 certified as part of Zhengxin’s quality management scope.

ZXH-C41200: four-color flexo non woven bag printing machine

The ZXH-C41200 is the four-color inline flexo model in the ZXH series. It is designed for manufacturers that need multi-color brand logos, promotional graphics, and retail packaging prints on non-woven fabric.

Key specifications

Four-color inline printing for brand-level quality

The ZXH-C41200 performs four-color inline printing at up to 1,160 mm width. Inline configuration means all four color units are arranged in a single pass, and the fabric does not need to be re-threaded between colors. This reduces color-to-color variation and shortens job completion time.

The structural configuration of the ZXH-C41200 is four-color inline printing. Its control method includes tension control and on-screen parameter monitoring. Tension control keeps the fabric stable and prevents stretching, which helps maintain consistent print length and registration. On-screen parameter monitoring allows the operator to adjust print parameters digitally rather than relying on manual guesswork.

Changeover and registration

The ZXH-C41200 is built for typical mid-market production, where manufacturers run a high variety of designs in relatively low volumes. Optimized plate-roller change and ink-tray cleaning reduce setup time between short-run orders. Registration is supported by in-line structure with precision tension control, with the goal of stable four-color print alignment at speeds up to 60 m/min.

Drying and ink curing

Non-woven fabric does not absorb ink as quickly as paper, so drying performance directly affects line throughput. The ZXH-C41200 uses optimized drying airflow for non-woven fabric to speed up ink curing at line speed. The result is reduced post-print waiting time; printed fabric can move to the bag making stage more quickly.

ZXH-C21200: two-color flexo non woven bag printing machine

The ZXH-C21200 is the two-color flexo model in the ZXH series. It is designed for manufacturers whose current demand is single-color or two-color logos — the most common requirement for supermarket shopping bags, retail bags, and promotional totes.

Key specifications

• Max fabric roll width: 1,200 mm
• Max fabric roll diameter: 1,000 mm
• Max printing width: 1,160 mm
• Printing length: 250–1,000 mm

• Voltage: 380 V
• Total power: 8 kW
• Overall dimension: 3,500 × 2,200 × 2,200 mm
• Weight: 1,500 kg

Compact footprint and economical operation

With an overall dimension of 3,500 × 2,200 × 2,200 mm and 1,500 kg weight, the ZXH-C21200 is the entry-level flexo option from Zhengxin. Its smaller total power (8 kW) contributes to lower energy consumption. The machine is intended for startups, small-scale production lines, or bag makers that already have a screen printing line and need flexo capability for faster inline printing.

Material compatibility and green printing

The ZXH-C21200 is designed for PP nonwoven, spunlace nonwoven, and other non-woven materials. It uses environmentally friendly resin boards and water-based inks, which align with modern environmental requirements for non-woven bag production.

Automation features

The machine is equipped with features such as an air rising shaft, automatic guiding, and an automatic magnetic powder tension controller. These functions help keep the fabric roll neat and reduce material waste. In case of material breakage, the machine stops automatically for production safety.

Anilox rollers are used for ink transfer, which supports even ink distribution and 360-degree color registration. When the machine is stopped for material change or cleaning, the automatic ink transportation function keeps the ink wet and makes operation more convenient.

When to choose flexo vs screen printing for non-woven bags

Certifications and compliance: ISO 9001 and CE

Certification is a central part of HVQ_2 buying decisions for non woven bag printing machines. Importers and end customers increasingly verify ISO and CE documentation before placing orders.

ISO 9001:2015

The ZXH-C41200 non woven bag printing machine is certified to ISO 9001:2015. This certification covers the production and sales of bag making machines, slitting machines, and non woven printing machines. The applicable standard is GB/T19001-2016/ISO9001:2015. The certification is issued by QPC under certificate number 20225Q21503R2M and is valid for the worldwide market. The same ISO 9001:2015 certification applies to the ZXH-A1200 product.

CE certification

The ZXH-C41200 non woven bag printing machine is CE certified under certificate number M.2021.206.C70911, issued by UDEM, for the EU market. The applicable standards include EN ISO 12100:2010, EN 60204-1:2018, EN IEC 61000-6-2:2019, EN IEC 61000-6-4:2019, EN IEC 61000-3-2:2019, and EN 61000-3-3:2013+A1:2019.

Step-by-step: how to select a certified flexo non woven bag printing machine

1. Define your color and volume requirements. If most orders are one- or two-color supermarket logos, the ZXH-C21200 covers the majority of demand at lower power and cost. If you already have multi-color brand customers, choose the ZXH-C41200.
2. Confirm fabric width and printing length. Both flexo models handle a max fabric roll width of 1,200 mm and a max printing width of 1,160 mm. Verify that your bag design fits the printing length ranges (220–1,000 mm for the C41200, 250–1,000 mm for the C21200).
3. Match speed to your bag machine capacity. The ZXH flexo models print at 10–60 m/min. A typical non-woven bag making machine consumes printed fabric at a rate that this range is designed to support. If you run a very high-speed bag line, consider whether one printing machine will feed one or more bag machines.
4. Verify certifications before payment. Request the ISO 9001 and CE documents and confirm that the model number matches. The ZXH-C41200 and ZXH-C21200 are covered by CE. The ZXH-C41200 and ZXH-A1200 are covered by ISO 9001:2015.
5. Check installation requirements. The ZXH-C41200 requires 380 V power and has a total power of 18 kW. The ZXH-C21200 also uses 380 V with 8 kW total power. Confirm your local voltage and phase availability with Zhengxin before ordering.
6. Plan for third-party inspection. Zhengxin can arrange third-party inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas, or CCIC before shipment. This is optional but useful for buyers who need independent verification.

Use cases: how manufacturers deploy ZXH printing machines

Supermarket and retail chain supply

A shopping bag manufacturer supplying nationwide supermarket chains needs a fully automatic line from printing to finished bag. In Kenya, a customer operates a ZXH-C41200 alongside ZXL-A700 bag making machines. The four-color flexo printer handles mass production of branded non-woven shopping bags for retail chains, and one operator can manage the full workflow from printed roll to finished bag.

Food packaging and multi-line production

In Egypt, a food packaging and retail shopping bag manufacturer purchased five Zhengxin units, including two ZXH-C21200 flexo printing machines. The customer produces food takeaway bags for restaurant chains and delivery platforms, plus multi-color printed promotional shopping bags for retail malls. Working with one supplier for bag making machines and printing machines reduced procurement and maintenance complexity.

Promotional and short-run printing

Promotional bag producers often change artwork frequently. In Tanzania, a promotional bag producer uses a ZXH-C21200 for custom multi-color printed tote bags and reports the ability to handle 10+ custom orders per week with different artwork. The quick changeover and registration control of the flexo printer support this type of high-variety production.

Maintenance and troubleshooting basics for flexo printing machines

Print quality problems on non-woven bags are usually caused by issues that a trained operator can correct.

• Inconsistent print density: Check anilox roller condition, ink viscosity, and blade pressure. Water-based ink requires consistent viscosity monitoring.
• Color registration drift: Check fabric tension settings and the auto deviation correction system. For screen printing models, verify that the screen frame is locked firmly after repositioning.
• Poor drying: Verify drying temperature and airflow are suitable for the fabric GSM. If production speed was recently increased, drying time per meter decreases.
• Ink contamination: Clean ink trays, anilox rollers, and plate cylinders at the end of each shift, especially when changing colors.
• Material tracking issues: Check that the fabric roll is loaded correctly, the edge guide is engaged, and the rewinding tension is set according to the fabric GSM.

For daily startup, verify that the machine frame is clean, rolls are loaded symmetrically, power supply is stable, and there are no residual ink crusts from the previous shift. For shutdown, clean rollers and ink systems, release fabric tension, and record production parameters.
