Baosiwei Flexible Wrap Printing Solution for IP Collaboration and Themed Arcade Equipment
Game Machine Custom Wrap Printing Solution
Industry Background: Custom Appearance Becomes a New Revenue Stream
Arcade claw machines, racing simulators, and music game cabinets are no longer just entertainment tools.
They have evolved into visual carriers for brands, licensed IPs, and themed events.
Operators and venue owners now expect unique, memorable designs rather than standardized shells.
Seasonal campaigns, collaboration editions, and limited runs are driving a sharp increase in appearance customization requests.
Baosiwei offers a professional wrap printing solution tailored to meet these needs in the B2B manufacturing sector.
Solution Overview: Print on Wrap Film, Apply to Machine Panels
Our recommended approach uses a 1.8-meter, 4-head printer to output customer designs directly onto PVC or PP adhesive film.
The printed film is then transferred onto the machine’s outer panels either manually or with automated applicators.
This process requires no mold changes or paintwork, allowing rapid design updates and strong adaptability—ideal for manufacturers handling custom orders.
Step-by-Step Workflow
- Design & Layout: Create graphics tailored to the structure of each machine model.
- Printing: Use the Baosiwei printer to output designs on PP adhesive or PVC wrap film.
- Lamination (Optional): Add scratch resistance and gloss for indoor/outdoor use.
- Precision Cutting: Match shapes for panels, control areas, and edges.
- Film Application: Apply on acrylic, metal, or plastic surfaces before or after assembly.
Addressing Common Manufacturing Challenges
| Challenge | Solution |
|---|---|
| High cost and complex process for customization | No structural changes or paint; apply wraps directly for new designs |
| Complex shell shapes make direct printing risky | Flexible film conforms to curves and textures for full coverage |
| Low-profit small batches or licensed IP orders | One-sheet minimum, flexible scheduling for small or urgent runs |
| Frequent design changes slow production | Batch presets and quick switching without stopping the production line |
| Slow installation speed | Pre-cut with high-precision positioning for faster assembly |

- Design-to-finished wrap in as little as 3 hours
