What this page is
This is the "Screen Printers for Cylindrical Bottles" post on achievement.co.za, the directory of the AM.CO.ZA group's websites. It points to bottlescreenprinter.co.za, the group's site for the ScreenMaster curved-surface screen printers.
Original text (as published): "Explore the ScreenMaster cylindrical bottle screen printers, designed for efficient and cost-effective printing on curved surfaces. These machines are perfect for businesses that require consistent, high-quality printing on bottles, ensuring your products stand out with professional-grade labelling and branding."
The post also said: "This site describes the advanced level curved screen-printing machine in the Screen master curved surface printer range. This machine is used for printing cylindrical and cone type products." It then listed plastic, glass and metal products such as wine, medicine and cosmetics bottles; mugs, thermos mugs and beer mugs; glass tubes, pens, fishing rods and bats; and large containers such as paint, alcohol and lubricating oil buckets.
This Knowledge Base version expands the pointer into a plain guide. Every point below comes from pages already in this KB, which are linked so you can read the full wording.
What a curved-surface screen printer does
A normal screen printer prints on flat items. A curved-surface (bottle) screen printer holds a round item so it rolls under the screen while the squeegee passes, which lets one colour print wrap around the side of a cylinder or a cone. AM.CO.ZA sells these under the ScreenMaster name. See If You Had To Screen Print on the Earth You Would Need a Curved-Surface Screen Printer and Screen Print on Curved Surfaces with a Curved-Surface Screen Printer.
Typical uses from the KB pages:
- branding bottles for wine, medicine, cosmetics and other packaging
- mugs, thermos mugs and beer mugs
- small round items such as glass tubes, pens, fishing rods and bats
- large round containers such as paint, alcohol and oil buckets
It prints on most plastics, glass and metal.
The three sizes
AM.CO.ZA sells the range in three sizes. Pick the one that fits the largest item you plan to print. The size names below come from the Buythis catalog dump.
| SKU | Model | Largest item diameter | Print area (height x arc length) | Product page |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SP-BOTTLE/80 | ScreenMaster Bottle-PRO | 80 mm | 140 x 160 mm | SP-BOTTLE/80 KB page, Buythis |
| SP-BOTTLE/150 | ScreenMaster Bottle-PRO | 150 mm | 270 x 380 mm | SP-BOTTLE/150 KB page, Buythis |
| SP-BOTTLE/170 | ScreenMaster Bottle-Lite | 170 mm | 200 x 250 mm | SP-BOTTLE/170 KB page, Buythis |
The whole range is listed on Buythis curved-surface screen printers. Current prices are on the KB product pages and on Buythis; they are not repeated here.
What does not suit it
The bottlescreenprinter.co.za product page says that if a cylindrical or conical product has a print surface with large dips or bumps, raised spots, or any other uneven surface, it is not suitable for this machine. Smooth round or tapered surfaces work best.
Setup and screens (Bottle-PRO 80 mm)
From ScreenMaster Curved Screen Bottle Printer Pro:
- The machine is adjusted at the factory. You only fit the spring and the screen frame landing board before use.
- To fit a screen, slide the screen plate into the back support plate from below the printing plate rack, then into the front support plate, and tighten the screen fixing screw.
- It uses a 300 x 235 mm screen up to 30 mm high, and two screens come with the machine.
- It ships in a fumigation-free wooden export box, with metal parts packed separately so they do not touch.
The Buythis rows mark these machines as DIY products that you assemble yourself, with step-by-step videos to help. If you get stuck, see SortIT.co.za for more videos or WhatsApp AM.CO.ZA support on 060 600 7000.
