AstroNova, Inc., a global leader in data visualization technology, has introduced the AstroJet AJ-1300, an industrial-grade digital inkjet printer for high-resolution, direct-to-package printing on corrugated sheets. With a 1300mm feed width and robust automation, the AJ-1300 empowers brands and converters to seamlessly adopt flexible, customized packaging production \u2014 no plates, no labels, just vibrant branding applied directly to flat or pre-cut corrugated sheets that can be easily turned into boxes.<\/p>\n
“The AJ-1300 is a game-changer for corrugated packaging<\/a>,” said Padraig Finn, Senior Vice-President of AstroNova Product Identification. “It bridges the gap between traditional pre-printed runs and the growing demand for localized, small-batch, or on-demand packaging. Whether you’re doing seasonal promotions, regional variations, or direct-to-consumer packaging, this printer gives you agility, speed, and cost-efficiency \u2014 all with sustainable inks.”<\/p>\n The AJ-1300 delivers production-grade throughput with print speeds up to 27 meters per minute, a maximum feed width of 1300 mm, and print resolution up to 1200 dpi. It supports Industry 4.0 readiness and sustainable<\/a> printing with water-based pigmented and dye-based inks.<\/p>\n Key features include automated feeder and stacker modules, an extended-width vacuum belt for stable handling of flat corrugated media, a user-friendly touchscreen interface, and eco-conscious inks suitable for direct food and retail packaging.<\/p>\n In today’s market, agility and differentiation are everything. Many packaging operations still rely on pre-printed corrugated stock or externally applied labels, which both limit flexibility and incur substantial inventory costs. The AstroJet AJ-1300 flips that model on its head. It enables:<\/p>\n Use-case examples include branded pizza boxes (no minimums), customized packaging for ghost kitchens or micro-fulfillment, co-branded regional messaging for franchises, or localized warning labels on industrial shipping packs. Allowing customers to order with minimums as low as 25 or 50 pieces opens up a huge opportunity to quickly serve independent, entrepreneurial enterprises and improve cash flow for printing operations<\/a>.<\/p>\n “AstroJet AJ-1300 by AstroNova helped us slash our lead times, avoid bulk inventory, and produce compelling full-color artwork directly on our boxes,” says one early adopter in the packaging industry.<\/p>\n AstroNova offers live demos, virtual walk-throughs, and sample-box trial programs to qualified prospects. Interested companies can request free samples or schedule a hands-on demo via the AstroNova Product Identification site.<\/p>\n The AstroJet AJ-1300 is now available for order worldwide through AstroNova’s sales and distribution network.
