Tresu has introduced a flexo printing solution to be integrated inline with converting machines for disposable sanitary napkins. The unit applies patterns on the inside of the napkin.
Allan Sander, sales director MBA, Tresu Solutions, comments: "Demand for an efficient means of applying patterns has arisen following research that shows increased consumer loyalty to brands featuring printed designs. The customised printing integration system enables the personal hygiene industry to achieve this, while maintaining a cost controlled, flexible, single-pass operation."
Built to accommodate different web-fed materials, the new unit comprises up to four water based colours, a hot air dryer and, at the embossing point, a register guidance camera. The printing solution formation contained within a module is said to offer both a compact footprint and an operator-friendly design.
Located at point of embossing, the register guidance system ensures synchronisation of the printed pattern with the crease in the centre of the napkin, at speeds of up to 400m/min (approximately 2,000 pieces/min).
