Process Design
We design the optimal manufacturing flow to bring your ideas to life. From selecting processing methods to defining equipment configurations and material conditions, we build a coherent end-to-end process that can be implemented on the production floor.
Prototype Manufacturing
We support fast, hands-on validation with a versatile range of equipment. From screen printing to various processing systems, we handle prototyping using the most suitable technology for each application. Whether sheet or roll format, we quickly produce samples using the optimal method for your development stage.
Development of Process Conditions
(Materials, Printing, Processing)
We pursue the optimal solution that meets your specifications. By understanding the properties of inks and substrates, we optimize processing conditions—controlling film thickness, improving resolution, and ensuring conductivity—to develop precise processes that meet required specifications.
Post-Processing
& Finishing
We provide comprehensive processing with your final product form in mind. From lamination, die-cutting, slitting, and inspection to other essential post-processing steps, we support a wide range of prototyping needs. We enable end-to-end validation of form and processing with real-world production in mind.
Testing & Measurement
We validate quality and repeatability based on data. Finished prototypes undergo thorough quality evaluation. Through multi-faceted measurement data—dimensional accuracy, film thickness, material viscosity, and more—we verify the validity of development conditions and support further optimization.
Mass Production Transition Support
We turn prototyping results into successful business. Building on the technical conditions established during prototyping, we support a smooth transition to mass production. From defining quality control standards and process management to OEM contract manufacturing, we provide end-to-end support to bring your product to market.

Sakurai
Graphic Systems
We support you from the stage of "We don't even know how to manufacture this." We help organize processing methods, equipment selection, process design, and required technical conditions to build a prototyping process.
As you move toward mass production, we help define quality standards—precision, repeatability, and yield—and build in-process inspection systems. Through the prototyping process, we support the establishment of mass-production quality standards and process control systems.
Once mass-production conditions are established, we can provide contract manufacturing at our own facility. Why not start small with prototyping? Sakurai supports you with mass production in mind from the very beginning.
A manufacturing partner support service that provides a clean production environment (cleanroom) and technical support from the development stage through prototyping to mass production. From the moment you think, "I'd like to try making this," we support you every step of the way to full-scale production.

Prototype-focused contract manufacturing is not simply outsourcing or equipment rental.
It is an expert-led, hands-on partnership that combines our technical expertise
with your ideas to jointly develop the optimal solution.
| Sakurai Graphic Systems | Printing machine Manufacturer | Manufacturing contract company | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Facility & Equipment Availability |
We provide the cleanroom and equipment your project |
Primarily focused on equipment sales; limited availability of testing. |
Manufacturing is limited to their own facility; |
| Scope of Support |
End-to-end support from requirements definition through prototyping to mass production transition |
Focused on equipment sales support; contract manufacturing is limited. |
The contracts mainly cover outsourcing costs and are based on the premise of mass production. |
| Initial Investment Requirements |
No equipment purchase required |
Typically requires upfront equipment purchase |
Fees are based solely on manufacturing services, and contracts typically require prior mass-production track record. |
| Development Flexibility |
Customer-led process and parameter customization |
Limited to their own equipment capabilities |
Tends to become a “black box” when fully outsourced to the manufacturer |
| Accompanying system |
We support technical proposals and collaborative discussions even at the early, pre-specification stage. |
Discussions typically begin only after equipment specifications are finalized |
Difficult to accept without finalized detailed specifications |

Success Flow
From undefined specifications to real-world implementation via the shortest possible path.
We leverage our technical expertise and infrastructure to turn your concept into a reliable manufacturing process.
01
Concept Definition
& Discovery
We shape early-stage product ideas using professional expertise. We provide initial recommendations on optimal methods and materials, helping you define a clear starting point together.
02
Method Validation
& Preliminary Testing
Before full-scale prototyping, we validate the suitability of screen printing at the smallest test scale. This allows us to identify risks early and define a feasible implementation plan.
03
Validation Environment Setup
Based on your project’s precision requirements, we optimize the cleanroom line configuration and equipment. We establish a dedicated “virtual lab” tailored exclusively to your needs.
04
Process Optimization
& Prototyping
We fine-tune screens, inks, and drying conditions together until the target quality is achieved. Drawing on our expertise as an equipment manufacturer, we pursue the optimal final result.
05
Mass Production Repeatability Verification
(Process Establishment)
We verify stability and yield during continuous runs that simulate mass production, and finalize a “manufacturing recipe” ready for real production.
06
Mass Production Ramp-Up & Commercialization Support
We transfer the finalized process recipe seamlessly to your mass production line. From equipment selection considerations to market launch, we support you as a technical partner throughout the entire journey.
