AstroJet

Direct-to-Package and Industrial Digital Printing Systems

AstroJet®, part of the AstroNova Product Identification portfolio, delivers cutting-edge digital printing solutions for corrugated packaging, kraft paper, paperboard, cartons, and other porous substrates. Designed for manufacturers, converters, and brand owners who want faster, cleaner, more flexible package printing, AstroJet eliminates the cost, complexity, and lead times associated with traditional flexo or outsourced pre-printing.

AstroJet systems enable high-speed, full-color on-demand printing directly onto boxes, cartons, precut corrugated sheets, kraft paper rolls, and a variety of uncoated packaging materials. Instead of ordering pre-printed packaging or managing expensive plate setups, brands can print short runs, seasonal SKUs, private-label batches, traceability data, barcodes, and graphics in real time—cleanly, quickly, and at scale.

AstroJet delivers:

• Vibrant full-color printing at competitive production speeds
• No-plate, no-mess, digital workflow
• On-demand printing for small or large runs
• Clean setup, minimal operator training, and predictable costs
• Reduced waste and faster time to market
• Flexible packaging and corrugated printing without outsourcing

With AstroJet, companies can respond to:

• Seasonal promotions
• Retail or ecommerce branding needs
• Private-label customer requests
• Compliance or traceability updates
• Short-run pilot products and regional packaging

All without waiting for pre-printed packaging or absorbing minimum order quantities.

Direct-to-Package Digital Printing for Real Manufacturing Environments

AstroJet printers are engineered for industrial reliability, durable print quality, and consistent color across large-format porous materials. Whether you’re printing pizza boxes, food trays, folded cartons, corrugated shippers, precut box blanks, paper bags, or kraft paper rolls, AstroJet provides a powerful alternative to traditional flexographic pre-print.

Typical applications include:

• Food and beverage packaging
• Pizzerias, restaurants, and commissaries
• Ecommerce shippers and fulfillment centers
• Industrial manufacturing
• Agriculture and horticulture
• Retail-ready packaging
• Private-label and co-packer environments

AstroJet is ideal for operations that need rapid artwork changes, short-run flexibility, lower packaging cost, and cleaner workflow performance.

Industrial-Strength Printing Without the Flexo Limitations

AstroJet allows packaging teams to:

• Avoid plate charges and tooling delays
• Reduce outsourced packaging cost
• Eliminate excess pre-printed inventory and storage
• Print graphics, branding, and barcodes in a single pass
• Customize packaging by SKU, market, customer, location, or promotion
• Produce packaging just in time—not months in advance

This makes AstroJet a strategic fit for corrugated converters, box plants, brand owners, food producers, print service providers, and manufacturers that want to modernize packaging lines.
