   With our 3sixty printer we are at the top edge of the industry and our machine has several smart innovations built-in, which set apart the limits of the current print industry and creates entirely new opportunities for you and your production.

   3sixty produces crisp sharp print around the bottle even at high speed printing up to

1200 x 900 dpi.


   The simplified workflow provides everyone with high requirements to speed and print quality. 3sixty is the most powerful bottle-printer on the market today.

Customized Printing Methods & Algorithms


   Through relentless exploration and practice, we have developed TBC 3sixty, integrated multiple proven and innovative technologies of great significance to achieve perfect print output effects on tapered/ cylindrical objects, be it metal, glass, wood, plastic, paper and many more. 

  • Thanks to the Rotational Print Pass Method (RPPM) and Special Print Head Arrangement Method, 3sixty is endowed with amazing print productivity and quality for simultaneous printing of 2 tapered/ cylindrical objects.

  • Ink Droplet Conversion Algorithm realizes consistent resolutions and stable visual effects in different objects.

  • Ink Droplet Compensation Algorithm for taper printing ensures even image density on different sections of the taper and avoiding image deformation.

  • Combining special algorithms, 3sixty thoroughly eliminates gaps or overlaps of images in 360° seamless printing.

  • 3sixty supports Colorful Variable Data Printing, including logos, images, texts, numbers, codes, etc.

Fixture Connector with Adjustable Angles


   The maximum printing length of TBC 3sixty is 220mm; it allows to print onto objects of 40-120mm in diameter and 0-270mm in length.


   With standard connector available, operators can install corresponding fixtures according to specific shapes, dimensions or structures of their printed objects to achieve accurate positioning and tightly fastening, ensuring stable high-speed rotation and quick loading/ unloading.


   Equipped with the angle adjustment device, TBC 3sixty will lead you to high quality final color prints, including trendy tapered open cups, neat cylindrical thermos bottles and tapers/ cylinders with threaded caps or not.

   Automatic Print Head Protection System monitors whether the print heads will be scratched or exposed to UV lights, and immediately stops the movement of the carriage in case of the emergency situations, effectively ensuring the safety of print heads.

   Based on an all-in-one design concept, the small and compact Print Head Maintenance Module allows automatic purging, wiping and capping for convenient unattended operation.

   Positioning Sensors indicate the position of the print object and enable to quickly set the printing area, achieving efficient and precise printing.

The new era of Bottle Printer


3sixty is ideal for producing smooth gradients and lifelike images on cylindrical objects that other printing technologies does not come close to.


Compared with traditional printing techniques such as pad printing, screen printing and label printing, 3sixty has several unique differences:

• Lower production costs
• No clichés
• Quick switching between print jobs
• Custom printing

3sixty supports:
• Multilayer full color print
• White ink for full coverage on dark products
• Primer for better adhesion (optional)
• Varnish for more effect (optional)
• 360° seamless printing
