Tissue printing refers to the process of applying text, logos, patterns, or decorative designs onto tissue paper products using high-speed industrial printing methods—most commonly flexographic printing. It is typically performed as part of the tissue converting line, which transforms jumbo rolls of raw tissue paper into finished products such as toilet paper, facial tissues, and kitchen towels.
Unlike traditional packaging printing, tissue printing is done directly on soft, porous substrates. This requires specialised printing systems that are gentle on the material yet capable of delivering sharp, consistent graphics at high production speeds. Inline flexo printers, often integrated into the unwinding or folding stage of a converting line, allow for precise registration and uninterrupted workflow.
Tissue printing plays a critical role in differentiating products in the market, especially in OEM/private label production, and supports both aesthetic and branding functions in fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sectors.
Printed tissue is not just a visual enhancement—it serves a functional and commercial purpose across multiple product types:
Facial Tissue:
Often used for branding in airlines, hotels, and offices. Logos and subtle patterns create a premium feel and reinforce brand identity.
Toilet Tissue:
While less common due to hygiene considerations, light printing on non-contact surfaces or emboss-adjacent areas can be used for branding or messaging in upscale markets.
Kitchen Towel / Paper Towels:
A common application for multi-colour flexo printing. Designs may include seasonal themes, kitchen patterns, or promotional campaigns. Supermarkets and home brands use printed towels to increase shelf appeal.
Tissue Wrap / Interleaf Paper:
Tissue printing also applies to interleaved or wrapping paper used in gift packaging, foodservice, or cosmetics—typically with branding or patterns.
Whether for aesthetic enhancement, consumer engagement, or corporate branding, printed tissue products are now standard in both mass retail and premium markets.
In a competitive FMCG landscape, custom-printed tissue products offer multiple layers of value:
Brand Recognition
Printed logos on tissue products help reinforce brand recall, especially in hospitality, travel, and retail.
Perceived Quality
Decorative prints or coloured patterns elevate the product’s appearance, allowing it to be positioned as a premium item—even when base material quality remains constant.
Differentiation
In categories like kitchen towels and facial tissue, design variety enables brands to stand out on shelves and cater to seasonal or regional preferences.
Private Label Enhancement
For OEM suppliers and private label converters, offering printing capabilities adds a crucial layer of customisation and value-added service, helping win long-term contracts.
Marketing Utility
Tissue products printed with promotional messages or QR codes can serve as advertising media, especially in public venues, events, or product samples.
By integrating advanced tissue printing capabilities—particularly inline flexographic printing units—manufacturers gain the ability to produce visually impactful, high-volume tissue products that command better margins and stronger customer loyalty.
A tissue printing machine is a specialised industrial device designed to apply ink-based graphics—such as logos, patterns, or branding—directly onto tissue paper products during the converting process. Unlike standard commercial printers, these machines are purpose-built to handle lightweight, highly absorbent substrates like facial tissue, toilet paper, and kitchen towels without tearing, smudging, or misalignment.
Tissue printing machines are typically part of a broader tissue converting production line and are either integrated inline with folding, embossing, or slitting systems or operate as standalone offline units. The most commonly used technology is flexographic printing, due to its speed, reliability, and compatibility with porous surfaces.
These machines play a central role in enabling tissue manufacturers and OEM suppliers to deliver customised, branded products at commercial scale, enhancing both functionality and market appeal.
A modern tissue printing machine consists of several precision-engineered modules that work together to achieve clean, consistent prints on delicate paper. The major components include:
1. Unwinding Unit
Feeds jumbo tissue rolls into the printing section with controlled tension.
Equipped with web guiding systems to maintain alignment during high-speed runs.
2. Flexographic Printing Units
Utilise flexo plates (rubber or photopolymer) mounted on cylinders to transfer ink onto tissue.
Ink is transferred via an anilox roller, which meters precise amounts of ink from the reservoir.
Most systems support 1–4 colour stations, each with individual drying and ink feed mechanisms.
3. Drying System
Employs infrared or hot air dryers to quickly dry water-based ink on absorbent surfaces.
Crucial to prevent ink smearing, especially in high-speed applications.
4. Servo and Registration Controls
Ensures accurate positioning of prints across repeats and lanes.
High-end models include automatic registration adjustment and real-time print quality monitoring.
5. Rewinding or Inline Transfer
Finished printed tissue may be rewound into rolls (offline) or passed directly to the embossing/folding module (inline).
Inline integration ensures minimal handling and better hygiene compliance.
These machines are engineered for high efficiency, allowing operators to change plates, adjust print positions, and clean ink units with minimal downtime.
1. Inline Tissue Printing Machines
Integrated directly into the converting line (e.g., just after unwinding and before folding).
Enables continuous printing without stopping production.
Ensures tight print-to-fold alignment and minimal material handling.
Ideal for large-scale production lines where speed, hygiene, and registration consistency are critical.
2. Offline Tissue Printing Machines
Operate independently of the main production line.
Tissue rolls are printed separately, then fed into converting equipment.
Offer greater format flexibility, suitable for small batches or multi-SKU printing.
Often used for gift tissue paper, interleaf paper, or printed promotional tissues.
3. Single-Colour vs Multi-Colour Units
Single-colour systems are cost-effective and commonly used for monochrome logos or light branding.
Multi-colour systems (2–4 colour stations) allow for full-colour logos, seasonal patterns, and high-impact decorative prints.
Multi-station setups require more drying power and precise registration control.
Each type serves a distinct market need, and the choice depends on production goals, product variety, and investment level. DeChangYu offers custom-configured tissue printing modules that can be integrated into converting lines for facial tissue, toilet paper, or kitchen towels—supporting 1–4 colour flexo printing, automatic tension control, and modular upgrades.
An inline flexographic unit is a specialised printing module integrated directly into a tissue converting line, allowing continuous, high-speed printing of graphics—such as logos, branding, and patterns—on tissue products during the manufacturing process. Unlike standalone or offline printing systems, inline units operate synchronously with other production modules (e.g., unwinding, embossing, folding), eliminating the need for separate handling or secondary processing.
These units use flexographic printing technology, which is ideal for the absorbent and lightweight nature of tissue paper. Flexo printing relies on flexible photopolymer plates, anilox rollers, and fast-drying, water-based inks, making it well-suited for consistent, high-volume printing without damaging the substrate.
DeChangYu’s inline flexo printers are engineered for seamless integration with facial tissue, toilet roll, and kitchen towel production lines, offering options from single-colour to four-colour stations based on customer requirements.
Inline flexographic printing units are typically positioned immediately after the unwinder and before other modules such as embossing, folding, or slitting. This strategic placement allows the tissue web to be printed before any mechanical deformation, ensuring maximum print clarity and consistent registration.
Key Integration Touchpoints:
Tension Control: The flexo unit must match the web tension of the line to prevent wrinkles or misalignment.
Print Registration Sensors: Used to maintain accurate alignment between print, embossing, and fold lines.
Drying System Coordination: High-efficiency IR or hot air dryers are synchronised with line speed to ensure instant ink curing.
Smart Servo Controls: Enable dynamic adjustment of print position and repeat length in real-time without stopping the line.
This modular approach allows operators to:
Easily add or remove colour stations
Upgrade from monochrome to multi-colour printing
Adapt to new product SKUs or market requirements with minimal downtime
For manufacturers targeting private label contracts, OEM orders, or branded tissue exports, inline flexo printing units are a core component of a modern, high-efficiency production setup.
Integrating an inline flexographic printer into your tissue production line brings multiple operational and commercial benefits:
1. High-Speed Production
Inline flexo units are designed to match or exceed the line speed of converting machines—up to 500–800 meters/min, depending on the substrate and configuration.
This allows for uninterrupted, real-time printing without compromising throughput.
2. Superior Print Accuracy
Servo-controlled registration and automatic tension balancing ensure that printed images and logos remain perfectly aligned—even during rapid starts/stops or roll changes.
Advanced control systems minimise waste and reprints, even on ultra-thin tissue webs.
3. Reduced Labour and Handling
Inline systems eliminate the need for separate printing and converting stages, reducing:
Operator headcount
Material handling time
Risk of contamination or product damage
Fewer touchpoints improve hygiene compliance, especially for facial tissue and toilet roll applications.
4. Lower Total Cost of Ownership
While initial investment may be higher than an offline printer, savings from labour, waste reduction, and faster changeovers quickly deliver ROI.
Inline printing enables one-pass production—cutting down on energy consumption, floor space, and post-processing equipment.
In a fully integrated production setup, a printed tissue production line transforms raw material into a branded, consumer-ready product in a single automated sequence. This streamlined process ensures consistency, hygiene, and high-speed output, especially when operating under tight quality control and delivery timelines.
Standard Workflow:
Jumbo Roll → Inline Printing → Embossing → Folding → Cutting → Stacking → Packing
Each stage plays a critical role:
Jumbo Roll Unwinding
Raw tissue is unwound from large parent rolls under precise tension control.
Inline Flexographic Printing
Logos, patterns, or custom graphics are printed directly onto the tissue web using 1–4 colour flexographic stations.
Embossing
Steel-to-steel or steel-to-paper embossing applies texture, branding, or absorption-enhancing patterns.
Folding / Cutting
Tissue is folded (e.g., interfolded for facial tissue or rolled for toilet/kitchen tissue) and cut to product-specific lengths.
Stacking / Log Sawing
Folded products are counted and stacked; rolled products may be sawed into set lengths and arranged.
Packaging Integration
Products are transferred directly to automated bagging or boxing machines, eliminating manual handling.
This end-to-end automation reduces downtime, material waste, and labour costs, while improving hygiene and production efficiency.
For tissue manufacturers and OEM suppliers, the integration of printing and packaging into a single production line unlocks substantial operational benefits:
1. Seamless Synchronisation
Every module—from printing to packing—is electronically and mechanically synchronised via PLC and servo systems.
This ensures consistent speed, tension control, and registration accuracy throughout the line.
2. High-Speed, Continuous Production
Full automation supports 24/7 industrial operation at speeds up to 800 sheets/minute or 200 meters/min, depending on product type and configuration.
Minimal changeover time allows faster production across SKUs or branded runs.
3. Reduced Labour Dependency
Fewer operators are required, lowering staffing costs and human error.
Inline transitions (e.g., printing to embossing) mean no manual product transfer, boosting hygiene standards.
4. Material and Waste Optimisation
Precision cutting, accurate counting, and automated reject systems reduce raw material waste.
Reduced overprinting and misfeeds during high-speed operation.
5. Faster Time to Market
Products exit the line ready for dispatch or palletisation, helping meet delivery deadlines and volume targets.
Overall, full-line automation positions tissue converters for scale, flexibility, and global competitiveness.

Flexographic printing (or flexo) has become the industry-standard technology for printing on tissue products due to its speed, cost-efficiency, and compatibility with lightweight, absorbent materials. While digital printing has gained traction in many printing sectors, it has limited scalability and substrate suitability for tissue converting applications.
Key Advantages of Flexo Over Digital for Tissue:
High-Speed Performance
Flexo systems can operate continuously at line speeds of up to 800 meters per minute, making them ideal for 24/7 converting environments. Digital printers are slower and often unsuitable for roll-to-roll operations.
Lower Operating Costs
Flexo uses economical, water-based inks and long-lasting polymer plates. Once plates are made, per-unit print cost is extremely low—far lower than digital inkjet alternatives.
Substrate Versatility
Flexo presses can print cleanly on delicate, porous surfaces like facial tissue, toilet rolls, and kitchen towels without damaging the fibre structure. Digital methods often face issues with ink absorption, edge bleeding, and smudging on soft substrates.
Scalable for Mass Production
Flexo is ideally suited to large-volume production runs. Once setup is complete, print quality remains consistent over long runs—essential for OEM or private-label contracts.
Easy Integration with Converting Lines
Flexo printers can be mounted inline—seamlessly synchronised with unwinding, embossing, and folding units—whereas digital printing systems typically require offline handling.
Conclusion:
For manufacturers seeking cost-effective, high-speed, custom printing on industrial tissue lines, flexographic printing remains the most reliable and productive choice.
Tissue products are designed for direct skin contact, making ink formulation and substrate compatibility critical. Flexographic tissue printing typically uses non-toxic, water-based inks that meet regulatory and environmental standards.
Characteristics of Water-Based Flexo Inks:
Fast drying, even on absorbent surfaces
Low-VOC emissions, safe for use in enclosed production facilities
Food-contact compliant formulations for facial tissue and kitchen towel applications
Wide colour range including Pantone-matched shades
Substrate Considerations:
Tissue substrates are soft, fragile, and porous. To ensure quality printing:
Inks must not penetrate too deeply (to avoid show-through or staining)
Ink viscosity and drying temperature must be optimised to prevent wrinkles or fibre distortion
Proper tension control must be maintained across the web during printing
DeChangYu’s inline flexo units are engineered with substrate-specific rollers, tension calibration systems, and ink management modules, ensuring consistent results across 1-ply to 3-ply tissue products.
Flexographic tissue printers are available with modular colour station configurations, allowing manufacturers to scale their capabilities based on product requirements and market positioning.
Colour Station Configurations:
Single-Colour (1 Station)

Enables simple two-tone designs or logo/text combinations
Common in mid-range product lines
Three- to Four-Colour (3–4 Stations)
Supports full-colour graphics, seasonal patterns, high-resolution branding
Used in premium facial tissue and kitchen towel markets
Each station includes:
A dedicated ink reservoir and anilox roller
Quick-change plate cylinders for fast SKU changeovers
Drying module (IR or hot air) to cure the ink before the next layer or process stage
For tissue converters aiming to supply private label or branded products, multi-colour printing enhances perceived quality and shelf appeal—while maintaining production speed and cost efficiency.
The process of printing logos and designs on tissue products begins with the creation and setup of flexographic printing plates—flexible photopolymer sheets mounted on a cylinder that transfers ink onto the tissue web with precision and speed.
Key Steps in Flexo Plate Setup:
Artwork Preparation
Logos or design files are processed in vector format (e.g., AI, EPS) and separated by colour layers if multi-station printing is used.
Plate Creation
Each colour is etched onto a separate photopolymer plate using laser or UV exposure. The raised areas on the plate carry the ink during printing.
Mounting on Plate Cylinder
Plates are wrapped around and mounted onto the plate cylinder with exact positioning, using registration marks or camera systems to ensure alignment.
Anilox Roller Selection
The correct anilox roller (which controls ink volume) is selected based on:
Tissue GSM and absorbency
Print detail and resolution
Ink viscosity and drying requirements
Pre-Run Calibration
Tension, ink flow rate, plate pressure, and drying temperature are fine-tuned before production begins to ensure optimal print quality.
Best Practices:
Use soft mounting tape to reduce vibration and protect fragile tissue
Conduct test prints to verify registration and ink density
Store plates in a controlled environment to maintain flexibility and avoid distortion
DeChangYu’s inline flexo systems include quick-change plate cylinders and registration control modules, enabling efficient setup for high-SKU environments or frequent product changeovers.
Tissue printing isn’t just for decoration—it serves a wide range of functional and marketing purposes. Whether used in retail, hospitality, healthcare, or foodservice, printed tissue enhances product visibility and consumer engagement.
1. Logo Printing & Brand Identity
Custom printed logos on facial tissue, kitchen towels, or interleaf paper create a strong brand impression, especially in:
Hotels and airlines
Restaurant chains
Private-label product lines
2. Decorative Patterns
Common on kitchen towels and gift wrap tissue to match consumer décor or product packaging.
Floral, geometric, and thematic patterns are often repeated across the web with precise registration.
3. Seasonal or Promotional Prints
Enables short-run or time-sensitive campaigns such as:
Holiday collections (e.g., Christmas, Lunar New Year)
Event marketing (e.g., World Cup, corporate branding)
QR code promotions or limited-time offers
Printed tissue allows brands to convert everyday utility products into marketing tools, differentiating SKUs and commanding higher shelf presence.
While flexographic printing is well-suited for tissue products, the nature of the substrate introduces several technical challenges that must be carefully managed.
1. Ink Bleed on Porous Surfaces
Tissue’s absorbent surface can cause ink to spread or feather, blurring fine details.
Solution: Use high-viscosity, water-based inks with calibrated anilox rollers and fast-drying systems.
2. Registration Accuracy
Tissue webs can stretch or shift during high-speed runs, causing misalignment between colour layers or printed/folded areas.
Solution: Install servo-driven registration systems with sensor feedback and real-time correction.
3. Web Tension and Absorbency Balance
Too much tension can tear the tissue or distort the print; too little causes wrinkles and misfeed.
Solution: Fine-tuned tension control systems and precision plate pressure adjustments are crucial.
Selecting the right flexographic printer for your tissue converting line requires evaluating a range of performance, integration, and maintenance criteria. A high-quality flexo unit can directly impact output speed, product quality, waste reduction, and long-term profitability.
Key Features to Consider:

In today’s competitive and fast-moving tissue manufacturing industry, integrating inline flexographic printing into tissue converting machines is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity for factories focused on efficiency, hygiene, and cost optimisation.
Inline integration means the printing module is mounted directly within the production line, synchronised with upstream and downstream processes such as unwinding, embossing, folding, and packaging. This setup allows tissue products to be printed, processed, and packed in a single continuous flow, reducing manual handling and eliminating secondary workflows.
Key Reasons Why Integration Is Crucial:
Real-time synchronisation eliminates bottlenecks and misalignment
Higher output consistency due to automation and reduced human error
Faster time to market with minimal setup and changeover delays
Reduced factory footprint, as multiple processes are combined in a streamlined layout
For tissue converters handling large volumes or serving OEM/private label markets, an integrated system supports scalable, hygienic, and cost-efficient production.
Tissue products are inherently hygiene-sensitive. Each physical touchpoint in the production process introduces a potential risk for contamination, damage, or inconsistency—particularly with facial tissue and toilet rolls.
Benefits of Inline Printing Integration:
Minimised Manual Handling
Eliminates the need to unwind, print, rewind, and reload tissue into a secondary machine.
Reduces labour input and operator exposure to the product.
Improved Sanitary Standards
Inline systems are often enclosed and operate in controlled environments.
Automated flow reduces contamination risks, making them ideal for tissue used in healthcare, foodservice, and personal hygiene sectors.
Reduced Product Damage
Soft, low-GSM tissue is vulnerable to tears and deformation during hand transfers.
An inline setup maintains tension and alignment, preserving sheet quality.
Operational Efficiency
Lower energy consumption, fewer machines, and faster throughput contribute to better cost-per-unit metrics.
These factors are critical for manufacturers looking to comply with export standards, improve product shelf appeal, and scale cleanroom-compatible operations.
As tissue manufacturers explore options for adding print capabilities to their converting operations, a key strategic decision arises: Should you choose inline or offline printing?
Both methods use flexographic technology but differ significantly in how they’re integrated into the production process. Understanding their advantages, limitations, and use cases is essential for making the right investment.
| Feature | Inline Printing | Offline Printing |
|---|---|---|
| Production Flow | Directly integrated with tissue converting line | Operates as a standalone process |
| Efficiency | High – enables continuous, one-pass operation | Lower – requires separate unwind, rewind, transfer |
| Setup Time | Faster – single calibration across unified system | Longer – multiple machines, manual alignment |
| Labour Requirements | Minimal – fully automated workflow | Higher – manual loading, alignment, supervision |
| Hygiene Control | Excellent – fewer touchpoints, enclosed system | Lower – added handling increases contamination risk |
| Registration Accuracy | High – servo-based sync with folding/embossing units | Moderate – registration drift can occur |
| Flexibility | Less flexible – tied to specific line format | High – suitable for different product formats |
| Capital Investment | Higher upfront cost but lower per-unit production cost | Lower cost for entry-level setup |
Inline Printing Summary:
Best suited for high-speed, high-volume production, particularly in hygiene-sensitive environments such as facial tissue, toilet roll, and kitchen towel converting lines.
Offline Printing Summary:
A better option for smaller operations, multi-SKU runs, or facilities that require versatility in print format and product type.
While inline printing offers superior speed and integration, offline systems still play a valuable role in specific production scenarios. Here’s when they may be more appropriate:
1. Low-Volume or Seasonal Production
If your facility produces limited SKUs or runs seasonal designs (e.g., holiday prints), offline printing allows efficient batch production without disrupting the main converting line.
2. Multi-Format or Custom Projects
Offline printing is ideal when working with varied tissue formats, packaging types, or substrates that are not compatible with your main production line.
Examples:
Custom gift wrap tissue
Decorative interleaving paper
Short-run marketing tissues with event-specific branding
3. R&D and Test Runs
Offline flexo printers allow converters to test print quality, colour combinations, or new inks without affecting primary line operations.
4. Limited Capital Budget
Small and mid-size converters may opt for offline systems to enter the printed tissue market gradually, especially if their converting lines were not initially designed for inline integration.
Conclusion:
The choice between inline and offline printing depends on your scale, operational goals, hygiene requirements, and product mix. High-efficiency factories prioritising speed and automation will benefit from inline systems, while smaller or more diverse operations may value the flexibility of offline setups.
Selecting a reliable equipment partner is just as important as choosing the right machine specifications. A high-quality tissue printing machine—whether inline or offline—must be backed by engineering expertise, proven performance, and global service infrastructure to ensure long-term success.
