Xeikon 3030 Plus label and package printing press
In order to gain a short-run digital advantage and still use conventional substrates, Taiwanese label and decoration company, CymMetrik Group, has invested in a Xeikon 3030 Plus label and package printing press.
CymMetrik Group provides labelling solutions for a variety of industries as well as producing transfer films for plastic decoration applications. With manufacturing bases in both Taiwan and China, the company also has sales offices in Hong Kong and the USA to serve its global customer base.
After noticing the market demand turning towards flexible short run jobs that require faster turn around and delivery time, it made the choice to invest in digital printing.
The company said, ‘For us, it is strategically important to start with digital printing. After evaluation of the different options on the market, it was clear that the best entry level equipment that could help us access this new market segment is a Xeikon press.’
The machine is VOC emission-free and comes with a 100% halogen-free toner formulation that meets FDA food-contact requirements, which is important to the company’s customers.
The technology allows the company to use substrates without specific pre-treatment or coating, including self-adhesive label stocks, paper and transparent and opaque films.
Launched at drupa 2012, the printing press, is a member of the Xeikon 3000 Series of five colour digital label presses, originally introduced in 2010. It features true 1200 x 3600 dpi addressability, with variable dot density and runs at a maximum speed of 15 m/min at five colours, and at a maximum web width of 330 mm.
