Innovation-Talk Label Printing. More effects, less time.
Meet our experts presenting solutions on how to manage complexity of label printing profitably at Innovation Week 2020. The label printing market is very stable worldwide with steady growth, even the Corona crisis had little impact on the label market. Decreasing run lengths and more complex jobs are the challenge in label printing. The result is increased makeready times due to more frequent setups, which must be quickly mastered by the machines. Metallic finishing can be applied inline to a wide range of substrates, such as paper, cardboard, and plastic films, using the FoilStar cold transfer module. Products finished with cold transfer are easy to recycle because no foil is applied, but rather a thin aluminum layer that can be separated later in the recycling process. Thanks to the new FoilStar Cure cold transfer module, the stable sheet travel of the Speedmaster XL 106 enables the aluminum layer to be applied to the thinnest materials, such as in-mold foils. Specially developed components and packages such as the IML Performance Package, the Thin Substrate Package, the Special Kit for Foil Printing, and the new CutStar enable the thinnest grammages to be processed, e.g. in-mold foils. The new optimized CutStar in the 4th generation is highly automated, makeready times are reduced and particularly stable production is given. Assistance systems guide the operator safely through the production process. More productive machines and increased OEEs are the result. Our specialists advise customers with their extensive application know-how, thus enabling them to select the perfect press. Operator training is offered at the Print Media Academy. A bottleneck in Postpress can be avoided by using the Speedmaster XL 106-D rotary die cutter. Several flatbed die cutters are replaced by one XL 106-D. Heidelberg also offers inline die cutting with a -D unit integrated into the press. An extraction device is available as an option. We recommend automatic blanking of the die-cut print sheets with blanking systems from our partner Kawahara. Customers can get started with IML label production by using existing presses, e.g. Speedmaster CX 75 or CX 104. The Thin Substrate Package and Foil Printing Kit can be retrofitted and provides even more production stability for processing thin in-mold foil. The trend towards a wide variety of films with diverse requirements in terms of haptic and surface gloss, such as Orangepeel films in the food sector or high-gloss films in the paint bucket sector, is discernible. In addition, the demand for consistently thinner in-mold films is increasing; 50-60µm films are meanwhile the standard. One aspect of the sustainability of in-mold films is the good recyclability of the single-composite packaging.
