Most digital packaging startups begin with a “Scanning” printer—where the heads move back and forth. It’s a great way to start, but as your business grows, that “back-and-forth” movement becomes your biggest bottleneck.
How do you know when it’s time to move to the big leagues with Single Pass?
1. You are Turning Away Orders Due to Deadlines
If your scanning printer is running 24/7 but you still have a backlog, you are losing money. Single Pass technology keeps the heads stationary while the media flies underneath, achieving speeds up to 80m/min.
2. Labor Costs are Eating Your Profit
Scanning printers require more “babysitting.” Single Pass machines, like the ones designed by Foofon, are built for industrial automation. One operator can manage a high-output Single Pass line, drastically reducing your cost-per-bag.
3. Your Customers are Demanding "Same-Day" Service
In the era of instant gratification, waiting 3 hours for a small run to finish on a scanning machine is too long. Single Pass offers “Instant Output.”
