Precision screen printing engineered for lightweight craft papers — expandable honeycomb lanterns, paper balls, and festive decorations, with the delicate touch required for tissue, copy, and color craft paper under 110 g.
The Honeycomb Ball Paper Lantern Manufacturing Machine is a specialized screen printing solution engineered for the precise handling of lightweight craft papers used in the production of expandable honeycomb lanterns, paper balls, and festive decorations.
Available in two models — SD-80110F and SD-90120F — this machine combines robust industrial control with the delicate touch required for thin tissue, copy paper, and color craft paper under 110 g.
Whether you are producing seasonal party supplies, wedding décor, or DIY craft kits, this machine delivers consistent ink deposition and reliable operation to maximize your production efficiency.
Five systems work together to keep thin papers flat, registered, and evenly inked — without tearing or smudging.
The printing system utilizes a high-torque variable-frequency motor for transmission. This setup ensures exceptionally sensitive action and uniform speed across the entire print stroke. Operators can easily adjust the speed via the control interface to match the specific thickness and absorbency of the thin paper (under 110g), preventing tearing or ink smudging while maintaining high output.
To ensure precision on every cycle, the lifting of the swing arm is driven by an independent variable-frequency motor with dedicated speed regulation. This design eliminates mechanical jerk and guarantees stable machine operation, which is critical when registering intricate honeycomb patterns on lightweight sheets that are prone to shifting.
The squeegee and flood bar are equipped with four independently switchable cylinders. This allows for micro-adjustment of the printing pressure across the width of the screen. Whether you are working with delicate 17g tissue paper or slightly heavier 110g cardstock, you can dial in the exact pressure required to achieve a crisp, clear mesh opening without damaging the paper fibers.
Safety is integrated into the workflow. The machine features a dedicated safety device that allows the operator to hold the swing arm securely in the upper position with a single key press. This function is essential during manual paper turning and screen cleaning, providing a safe and ergonomic workspace for the operator while protecting the precision mechanics of the machine.
The electrical control system adopts a user-friendly touch screen interface paired with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). This centralized architecture makes the entire machine simple and flexible to operate. Parameters for speed, pressure, and cycle counts can be stored and recalled easily, making it easy to maintain consistent quality across different production runs and reducing operator training time.

Note: The compact SD-90120F footprint (1250 × 1950 mm) offers a larger 900 × 1200 mm print area while occupying less floor width than the SD-80110F, making it a space-efficient choice for higher-volume honeycomb lantern production.
Bars are to scale across the two models — compare floor width against usable print area at a glance.
Print area: 800 × 1100 mm (0.88 m²) vs 900 × 1200 mm (1.08 m²) · Floor width: 1850 mm vs 1250 mm
This machine is specifically calibrated for the honeycomb lantern industry. By accommodating manual paper turning for substrates under 110g, it fills a crucial gap between fully automated systems that struggle with ultra-thin tissue paper and manual presses that lack consistency.
It is ideal for printing the outer decorative layers of honeycomb balls, lantern shades, and expandable paper spheres where vibrant, even color coverage is essential for the final visual impact when the product is opened.
Suits standard 800 × 1100 mm production runs for typical lantern and party-supply orders.
Accommodates larger 900 × 1200 mm formats without significantly increasing the machine's width footprint — an important consideration for workshops with limited floor space.
For manufacturers looking to elevate the quality of their honeycomb paper lanterns while maintaining efficient manual feeding workflows, the SD-80110F and SD-90120F deliver the perfect balance of speed, precision, and safety. Their ability to handle thin papers with variable frequency control and independent pressure adjustment ensures that your final products will have the sharp, vibrant patterns required to stand out in the competitive party and décor market.
