Manroland Inline Embossing Unit Raises Folding Carton Quality Quickly and Easily

China Printing Network [Font size:

Selling is like a battle: consumers ruthlessly screen products according to quality, price and appearance. At this point, packaging design and surface finishing become especially important. So does that mean that at any cost

of course, making a product eye-catching at a lower price is certainly better, and this is the function of inline postpress finishing processes. Here we proudly introduce manroland's latest innovative application: inline embossing during coating.

To ensure long-term development, printing companies need to expand their product portfolios so as to respond flexibly to customer demands while improving economic efficiency. In addition to coating and cold foil finishing, inline embossing is also an excellent value-added printing application, especially for folding carton production. Value-added printing

is exactly what the market needs. People like raised surfaces

including logos, brand names and emblems. With

, folding carton producers can use a three-dimensional tactile feel to raise the finishing level of customer jobs. Lines, solid areas, patterns and tables can all be embossed. This will make your products unique and stand out from the crowd.

Costs are fully controllable

In fact, this surprising effect is easy to achieve. Through

InlineImpress

the inline embossing unit, embossing requires no separate process step; everything is done inline. This saves a great deal of valuable production time and cost. The benefits for printing companies include: more accurate cost calculation, because no extra allowance is needed for a separate process step

no expensive embossing dies are required, since the embossing operation is achieved through a special coating plate

and at the same time the job cycle is shortened.

So how does inline embossing work

Thick substrates are the foundation.

ROLand InlineImpress

The inline embossing unit mounts a special embossing plate on the coating unit to perform the embossing operation, and this structure does not deform the reverse side of the paper. This method is effective because, unlike the traditional method of embossing the substrate, this structure is pressed into a raised

varnish layer. Precise drying settings are very important. In short: success comes from the coordination of different variables and the originality of the process.

Technically, choosing

InlineImpress

the inline embossing unit has some prerequisites: for flexible, high-quality single-pass production, a press with dual coating modules is relatively ideal

the substrate used is thicker board with a basis weight of

230g/m2

inks and varnishes will be supplied by

printcom printing materials to ensure process compatibility

Of course, an embossing plate is also needed.

An impressive offer

manroland has already filed a patent application for the

ROLand InlineImpress

inline embossing unit and has issued a usage license. In addition to the license certificate, the license package includes a detailed description of the process, one day of training provided by a manroland trainer at the user's site, an ink and varnish set for installation and commissioning, and the first embossing plate.

Located in Hahn, Germany,

Hammesfahr

has been a dynamic, reliable and innovative supplier of printing and postpress finishing ever since, and the company has used

InlineImpress

the inline embossing unit to raise the finishing level of printed products such as folding cartons for quite a long time.
