Scodix E106 B1 Digital Enhancement Press
Pre-Press Solutions
The Scodix E106 is the widest and fastest single-pass Scodix platform — a B1-format (1,060 × 760 mm) digital enhancement press delivering up to 4,000 sheets per hour for industrial-scale spot UV, foiling, embossing, Braille, and variable data finishing in folding carton and commercial print production.
- System Type: B1 Digital Enhancement Press — Single-Pass UV Inkjet
- Maximum Sheet Size: 1,060 × 760 mm (B1 format)
- Production Speed: Up to 4,000 sheets/hour
- Imaging Technology: Single-pass UV inkjet (760 mm wide head array)
The Scodix E106 represents Scodix's most capable production platform — a B1-format, industrial-speed digital enhancement press designed to bring premium finishing at scale to the folding carton, packaging, and high-volume commercial print sectors. Where the Scodix Ultra Pro serves B2+ operations with throughputs up to 1,250 sheets per hour, the E106 extends the Scodix enhancement platform to B1 format at 4,000 sheets per hour — delivering production economics that make digital enhancement viable for mainstream packaging converter output, not just short-run premium work.
The E106's defining technical characteristic is its 760 mm wide single-pass UV inkjet head array — the widest in Scodix's product family. Single-pass architecture means that as the sheet travels through the press, the full-width UV inkjet array deposits polymer coating across the entire sheet width in a single movement, enabling the 4,000 sph throughput figure. Conventional enhancement approaches (screen UV coating, hot foil stamping, embossing) require separate press passes for each effect; the E106 combines all active enhancement types in a single, high-speed pass from a single-page PDF input file.
The range of substrates compatible with the E106 is exceptional among digital finishing systems. It handles conventional paperboard and coated stocks, but extends to plastic films (PET, PVC), metalized boards, water-based (WB) coated substrates, and the full range of laminated products that folding carton converters use. This substrate versatility makes the E106 applicable across the complete packaging product portfolio of a full-service packaging converter — from pharmaceutical cartons to cosmetic folding boxes to food packaging to premium retail bags.
Variable data finishing — the ability to apply a unique enhancement element (a serialised QR code in raised UV, a unique foil pattern, or a personalised name in Braille) to each individual sheet within a run — opens capabilities beyond static finishing into the domain of anti-counterfeiting, product authentication, personalised marketing, and serialised pharmaceutical compliance. For Bangladesh's pharmaceutical sector in particular, serialised Braille on individual product packs is increasingly relevant as export programmes expand.
Use Cases & Applications
### Folding Carton Packaging Converters
Bangladesh's established folding carton industry — serving pharmaceutical, FMCG, food and beverage, and cosmetic sectors — produces large volumes of cartons that compete on quality and brand impression with imported packaging from India, China, and Europe. The Scodix E106 enables domestic converters to offer premium enhancement finishes (raised spot UV on brand logos, metallic foil on product names, embossed brand marks) at industrial production speeds that match B1 carton press throughput. A packaging converter running a B1 offset press at 8,000–10,000 sph can use the E106 to enhance every sheet from that press on a 2-up production run basis, making premium finishing part of the standard production workflow rather than a specialist post-press operation.
### Pharmaceutical Packaging — Braille Compliance and Serialisation
The European Union's Falsified Medicines Directive (EU FMD) and the WHO's growing emphasis on packaging authentication for pharmaceutical products in developing markets are increasing the compliance requirements on Bangladesh's pharmaceutical packaging sector. The E106's digital Braille capability produces ISO 17049-compliant raised dot Braille text on folding cartons as a standard digital production step — with no separate tooling, Braille plate, or embossing die. Variable data serialisation adds the ability to apply unique verification elements to each carton, supporting track-and-trace compliance programmes that are becoming requirements for pharmaceutical exports.
### Premium Food and Beverage Packaging
Bangladesh's premium food and beverage sector — including premium tea brands, premium snack and confectionery packaging, and imported-brand retail packaging produced locally — uses distinctive packaging enhancement to communicate product quality and premium positioning at point of sale. Spot UV on glossy food packaging, tactile raised texture on premium chocolate boxes, and metallic foil accents on premium tea cartons are achievable on the E106 in mainstream production quantities. The system's broad substrate compatibility — including WB-coated stocks favoured for food-safe direct contact packaging — ensures that enhancement can be applied to the full range of food packaging substrates.
### High-Volume Commercial Print — Luxury Marketing Collateral
Large commercial printers in Bangladesh producing high-volume luxury marketing materials — major banks' premium account brochures, luxury real estate developer marketing packs, five-star hotel stationery programmes — require enhancement finishing at volumes and speeds that smaller digital enhancement presses cannot support economically. The E106's 4,000 sph output capability brings the per-unit cost of enhancement down to levels compatible with mainstream commercial print economics, making tactile finishing a standard rather than exceptional premium that commercial clients will budget for when they understand the product differentiation it delivers.
