In modern industrial production, decorative finishing is no longer limited to visual appeal. Markets such as cosmetics, automotive, beverage, and pharmaceuticals now require surface treatments that deliver consistent quality, scalable performance, and minimal environmental impact. This shift has made advanced in-line coating and sputtering metallization technologies essential for manufacturers seeking both creative freedom and industrial reliability.
Within this landscape, Tapematic PST Line II has become a benchmark for automated, high-efficiency production. Its modular design, advanced robotics, and seamless handling ensure continuous workflow, controlled coating processes, and minimized waste. This solid foundation has paved the way for more sophisticated metallization modules capable of meeting emerging decorative and functional demands.

Precision engineered: the strength of in-line automation

A modern production environment requires processes that can deliver accuracy at high speed. In-line coating systems developed by Tapematic enable highly controlled applications of UV coatings, guaranteeing uniform coverage and optimal curing with minimal operator intervention.
The automation built into the PST Line II eliminates variations typical of manual workflows and ensures that every component receives the same level of precision. This translates into stable performance, reduced defects, and reliable repeatability across large and diversified batches. By optimizing every stage—cleaning, pre-treatment, coating, curing, and inspection—the system enhances both throughput and quality.

High-efficiency UV coating for sustainable production

Among the most valuable advantages of the Tapematic ecosystem is its fully integrated use of UV coatings. These formulations significantly reduce material waste and emissions while increasing energy efficiency. Combined with the in-line process, they support a cleaner, more responsible production model that aligns with sustainability-driven industrial trends.
Because UV curing is rapid and consistent, the system operates without unnecessary delays, enabling faster cycle times and measurable reductions in operational costs. Manufacturers benefit from stable long-term performance while also reducing their environmental footprint—an increasingly important factor for brands across all packaging sectors.

Next-generation flexibility: dual-sputtering for decorative and functional finishes

As demand grows for more sophisticated and customizable decorative effects, advanced metallization becomes a strategic asset. The Tapematic S8+4 module is engineered to expand the possibilities of in-line sputtering, offering unprecedented flexibility and performance.
Its distinctive strength lies in its dual independent sputtering cathodes, each capable of depositing a different metallic layer within a single continuous cycle. This opens the door to countless aesthetic combinations—from subtle reflective tones to bold multilayer finishes—while also supporting functional coatings for components requiring higher mechanical resistance or conductive properties.
With a throughput exceeding 10,000 parts per hour, the S8+4 is designed for large-volume production environments that cannot compromise on precision, consistency, or repeatability. Whether integrated within the PST Line II or used as a stand-alone module, it brings together creativity, efficiency, and industrial robustness.

Modular systems built for modern manufacturing demands

The strength of Tapematic’s technology lies in its integrated, modular architecture. Systems such as the PST Line II and the S8+4 module can be configured to meet highly specific production requirements, adapting easily to different substrates, shapes, and decorative goals.
The process relies on Tapematic’s proven tray handling concept, which ensures stable, controlled movement of parts throughout every phase of the workflow. This reduces setup time, minimizes handling errors, and allows seamless transitions between cleaning, coating, metallization, and curing. Manufacturers benefit from a scalable, future-ready platform capable of supporting evolving design trends and operational needs.

Innovation aligned with sustainability and industry evolution

Decorative coatings are rapidly evolving, and the technologies behind them must match the pace of global industry. Tapematic responds to this progression with solutions that combine automation, precision engineering, and resource-efficient design.
From energy-optimized sputtering processes to reduced-waste UV coating systems, every module is engineered to deliver measurable improvements in performance and sustainability. This commitment positions Tapematic as a strategic partner for manufacturers who want to stay competitive while embracing more environmentally responsible production models.
By merging flexibility, high-speed automation, and advanced decorative capabilities, Tapematic systems represent the future of scalable, sustainable surface finishing. They enable manufacturers to achieve distinctive aesthetics, consistent quality, and lower environmental impact — all while preparing production lines for the next generation of industrial demands.
