Tennessee, USA, based Nashua has installed an Omega 1600 RFID Converter for labels from AB Graphic International. The line is a complete system for converting rolls of printed labels with varnishing unit, UV and IR/hot air drying, two die cutting stations, including matrix stripping, and cross-perforating and slitting rewinding.
The de-lamination/re-lamination section with liner compensation includes two label applicators capable of applying RFID, EAS and other inlays. The system includes a lamination unit with carrier rewind configured for unwinding rolls of RFID tags and rewinding of the static liner that can also be used as a standard lamination module.
Nashua produces direct thermal, thermal transfer, laser and EDP labels for supermarkets, retail, automatic data collection, data processing and entertainment users.
Nashua spokesman Tom Kubis notes: “We purchased the Omega system to produce RFID labels on a dedicated line. This is completed with the addition of an off-line dedicated testing unit that verifies the integrity of the RFID inlay prior to shipment. The Converter has enabled us to join new business partners and customers throughout North America such as Alien, who supply RFID inlays. We are now officially an Alien preferred converter.”
