NOVUM is a modular, single-pass digital inkjet printing platform for production decoration of beverage cans, aluminum and plastic tubes, aerosol containers, bottles, closures and other round or tapered objects. Deco Tech provides application testing, equipment configuration and technical support throughout North America.
NOVUM gives manufacturers the flexibility of digital artwork in a production decorating system. Designs can be changed without creating new plates or screens, multiple graphics can be produced in sequence, and the platform can be configured for the container type and required production output.
See the NOVUM direct-to-object printing system in actual production as beverage cans move through the machine and exit with full-color decoration. The footage shows the complete NOVUM platform, can transport system, and finished printed results—no renderings or simulated production.

NOVUM allows manufacturers to run short batches, regional packaging, seasonal designs, multiple design variations, and ongoing production on one direct-to-object printing platform. Graphics can change from one production run to the next while maintaining a consistent, repeatable decorating process at industrial production speeds.
Every installation is configured around the material, geometry, image area, production target and durability requirements of the application.
Integrated plasma treatment prepares each container for direct-to-object printing, improving ink adhesion and print quality.
Single-pass inkjet architecture produces the graphic in one printing production pass rather than building it through repeated multi-pass rotations.
The selected primer, inks and curing configuration is matched to the container and its required chemical, mechanical and environmental performance.
Production controls, recipe management and full vision inspection systems, support consistent operation across artwork and format changes.
Every NOVUM feature is designed around industrial direct-to-object printing, including production speed, fast changeovers, compact line integration, and the ability to print a wide range of container shapes and sizes.
The image is produced in a single printing stage, supporting higher productivity than systems that require repeated print passes around the container.
Select the configuration that fits the current requirement, then expand capacity through additional integrated modules as your business grows.
Contactless digital inkjet printing decorates shapes and surfaces that conventional screen printing cannot, expanding the range of metal and plastic products that can be printed..
The NOVUM platform is designed around network connectivity, production information, remote access and maintenance support for an industrial environment.
NOVUM supports up to nine active print stations. Depending on the application, the system can combine CMYK and white with green, violet, and orange for an expanded color gamut, along with primer and a choice of matte or gloss varnish.
These are real views from the NOVUM platform and production footage: the print-engine stations, container infeed, inkjet hardware and operator controls.
NOVUM configurations are published for beverage cans, tubes, aerosols, bottles, capsules and other metal or plastic containers. Every project begins with the actual part.
Slim, sleek, standard and special-format can applications for manufacturers, decorators and brand owners.
Aluminum, laminated and plastic tubes for personal care, pharmaceutical, industrial and specialty packaging.
Production decoration of qualified aluminum, tinplate steel and plastic aerosol formats.
Direct decoration of metal and plastic bottles, vials and other rigid container applications.
Systems developed around wine closures, specialty caps and plastic or aluminum capsules.
Selected tapered, oval and non-cylindrical projects can be evaluated based on geometry, material, handling and printable area.
Evaluate NOVUM print quality on the finished container. Perceived resolution ranges from 1,200 to 2,400 dpi, producing fine detail, smooth color transitions, and strong white opacity. On aluminum cans, the artwork can incorporate the metal surface to create metallic finish effects while maintaining accurate registration, reliable adhesion, and a consistent surface finish.
Deco Tech will coordinate the sample program and determine the testing required before recommending a system configuration.
Quantix currently publishes three NOVUM beverage-can configurations at 80, 160 and 240 cans per minute. Special executions and final line performance require application confirmation.
A single-module configuration for industrial digital can decoration and an accessible first step into the NOVUM platform.
Published specifications are a starting point, not a final application guarantee. Container geometry, coating, ink system, pretreatment, artwork and downstream requirements must be reviewed.
A two-module production configuration that increases published output while retaining one integrated platform and workflow.
Published specifications are a starting point, not a final application guarantee. Final capacity and configuration require application review.
The published three-module beverage-can configuration for higher-volume industrial digital decoration programs.
Published specifications are a starting point, not a final application guarantee. Final line layout and integration require confirmation.
A production printing system is more than the equipment delivered on installation day. Deco Tech and Quantix support North American customers from the first application discussion through sample coordination, system configuration, installation planning, training and continued technical support.
Provide the container material, dimensions, artwork, annual volume, target production rate and performance requirements. We will identify the information and testing needed to evaluate the application responsibly.
