About Van Dam
Van Dam Machine was founded in 1962 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, originally producing printing machines for balloon decoration before evolving into one of the world's leading manufacturers of direct printing equipment for rigid packaging. Over more than six decades the company has built a global installed base of several thousand machines, earning a reputation for engineering longevity that is exceptional in the packaging machinery industry. Van Dam assembles its machines at its Amsterdam factory and supports customers through offices in both the Netherlands and the United States.
The core of the Van Dam product lineup is its range of dry offset cup and container printers, anchored by workhorse models such as the CM 608 M, CE 608 M, CP 406 M, CQ 708 M, LM 608 T, PM 108 CIT, RM 208 T, and the 460SL and 560 series. Alongside these dry offset platforms, Van Dam developed its patented Flexo Direct on Rigid technology, branded FDoR, which is offered through machines such as the FlexoCup, FlexoCon, FlexoTub, and FlexoLid. The FDoR and In-Direct Flexo platforms combine the high throughput of dry offset with CMYK photographic print quality, quick-change magnetic plate cylinders, and in-line spot color or varnish capabilities.
Van Dam printers serve manufacturers across the food and beverage packaging sector, including producers of single-use cups, yogurt containers, ice cream tubs, lids, and large pails. Customers range from global quick-service restaurant supply chains and dairy processors to specialty packaging converters and molded fiber producers seeking sustainable, recyclable decoration solutions.
Used Van Dam printers attract strong buyer interest because the machines are engineered for decades of continuous production, with robust mechanical construction and a large global parts ecosystem that keeps older models serviceable long after their initial installation. The brand's consistent print quality, high output speeds, and modular architecture mean that a well-maintained used Van Dam printer can be reconfigured for new cup sizes or color counts, offering significant value compared to new equipment investment.
