AB Graphic International has supplied the first Omega Digicon Series 2 converting line equipped with flatbed tooling for stamping and embossing to Rochester, New York based Label World. It will enable the US company to offer advanced features such as hotfoil stamping, embossing and spot UV varnish coatings to its customers in the wine, nutritional, and health and beauty markets.
The Digicon series 2 is a modular label converting line for digitally printed webs and offers all the traditional finishing options. ABG recently introduced several new finishing modules, including the flat bed tooling option.
“We are especially excited to have the first Digicon Series 2 machine in North America with flat bed tooling for stamping and embossing,” said John McDermott, president and CEO of Label World. “Most other machines in the marketplace have rotary tooling. Flatbed tooling actually allows for better stamping and embossing quality because it is able to hold the substrate in a fixed position. Equally important, the cost is a fraction of the cost of rotary tooling, opening the opportunity of these premium features to a wider variety of potential customers.”
The Digicon line’s flatbed tooling module permits hotfoil stamping of a variety of colours, embossing and spot coatings of varnishes to highlight particular areas of the label. Combined with the high resolution and colour accuracy of Label World’s HP Indigo ws4050 digital press, these extra finishing capabilities will allow brand owners and designers to achieve high quality results for short and medium runs.
