Game Machine Appearance Customization Solution —— Eco-Solvent Wrap Printing & UV Flatbed Acrylic Direct Printing

Game Machine Appearance Customization Solution

Eco-Solvent Wrap Printing & UV Flatbed Acrylic Direct Printing

Industry Background: Custom Appearance as a Competitive Advantage

Arcade claw machines, racing simulators, rhythm games, and other entertainment cabinets are no longer just functional equipment.

They are increasingly becoming visual carriers for branding, licensed IPs, and scenario-based marketing.

Driven by the following trends, demand for appearance customization continues to grow:

• Licensed IP collaborations and co-branded editions
• Seasonal campaigns and themed machine versions
• Location-based customization for malls and entertainment venues
• Shorter product lifecycles and faster model updates

As a result, manufacturers and operators require flexible, low-risk, and scalable appearance customization solutions.

However, traditional surface processes such as painting, silk screening, and molded panels often suffer from:

• High upfront investment (molds and process costs)
• Long production and delivery cycles
• Poor suitability for small batches or multi-SKU orders
• High cost and risk when designs change

To address these challenges, Baosiwei offers two complementary appearance customization solutions designed specifically for B2B manufacturing environments.

Solution 1: Eco-Solvent Wrap Printing

Maximum Flexibility for Custom Designs

Solution Overview: Print on Film, Then Apply to Panels

This solution uses a 1.8-meter, 4-head industrial eco-solvent printer (JW-1804) to print custom graphics directly onto PP adhesive film or PVC wrap materials.

After printing, the film can be applied before or after cabinet assembly, either manually or with semi-automatic laminating equipment.

Compared with painting or direct printing on shells, this process offers:

• No molds required
• No structural modification
• No drying or curing time

It is ideal for manufacturers handling multi-model, small-batch, and frequently changing design orders.

Standard Production Workflow

1. Design & layout based on cabinet structure and panel dimensions
2. Printing on PP adhesive or PVC wrap film
3. Optional lamination for scratch resistance and surface finish
4. Precision cutting to match panel shapes and control areas
5. Film application on acrylic, metal, or plastic panels

Solution 2: UV Flatbed Direct Printing on Acrylic

Premium Integrated Panel Solution

Direct Printing on Acrylic Panels

For machines requiring a premium finish and integrated panel structure, Baosiwei provides UV flatbed printing solutions that print directly onto acrylic panels.

This method is suitable for:

• Flat or semi-flat acrylic panels
• Front control panels of high-end machines
• Long-term installations requiring high wear resistance

UV Printing Workflow

1. Panel cleaning and fixation
2. UV inkjet printing
3. Instant UV curing
4. Optional white ink and varnish layers

Key Advantages of UV Flatbed Printing

• One-step process without film application
• Excellent scratch and chemical resistance
• High color saturation and sharp detail
• Precise alignment for holes and control areas

Wrap Printing vs. UV Direct Printing: How to Choose?

Most manufacturers adopt a hybrid approach:

• Wrap printing for side panels, curved shells, and IP editions
• UV direct printing for front acrylic panels and premium visual areas
