SVM 53-50 I

Intermittent thermal transfer printing with a wider print area

The SVM 53-50 I thermal transfer overprinter is designed for packaging material that stops briefly during each machine cycle. Its 53 mm print width provides more space for product information, barcodes and traceability data than compact 32 mm systems.

It is suited to manufacturers that need clear, repeatable coding on flexible packaging and labels without adding a separate label or printing process.

Intermittent operation

The printhead moves across stationary packaging material during the machine dwell period, making it suitable for intermittent form-fill-seal and labelling equipment.

Wider coding area

A 53 mm x 50 mm print area accommodates dates, batch details, product information, logos and multiple barcode formats.

High quality output

300 dpi resolution supports sharp text, graphics, 1D barcodes, 2D Data Matrix codes and GS1 barcodes.

Production ready control

The colour touch panel, stored templates and standard communication ports make regular product changes straightforward for operators.

Technical specifications

  • Intermittent thermal transfer printing
  • 53 mm x 50 mm maximum print area

Common applications

  • Expiry dates, batch numbers and ingredient information
  • Variable data on food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging
  • Logos, counters and product identification
  • 1D, 2D and GS1 barcode printing

Plan an intermittent coding installation

For the SVM 53-50 I, compare the required message area with the available print window and machine dwell time. Send the packaging material, code layout and normal cycle information so Seagle can assess ribbon selection, mounting space and machine signals.

Does a 53 mm width mean every layout will fit?

Check both dimensions of the complete message against the stated print area. Include the barcode dimensions and any graphics.

What if my material never stops?

Compare a continuous thermal transfer model rather than selecting an intermittent printer only by print width. Explain the material movement in your enquiry.
