EMBELLISHMENT

The JETvarnish 3D Web is the ideal solution for label printers as well as flexible packaging producers, who are looking for a digital way to differentiate their services. The web-solution turns printed jobs into remarkable products that will immediately catch the attention of your customers. The growing label and flexible packaging markets are expecting higher flexibility, short- er run lengths, faster delivery times and personalisation. With the JETvarnish 3D Web it is easy to highlight defined areas or add tactile 3D effects to digital, flexo or offset jobs. In combination with the inline hot foiling module it is the perfect device to achieve high added value and differentiation.

1. DIE CUTTING UNIT

  • Optional semi-rotary die cutting unit to finish labels in-line
  • 2 slitter knives as standard (10 max)

UV Flexo Station
An integrated flexo station for full size sleeve coating in rotary. This station is used to apply a UV protection varnish or primer prior to finishing. The module comes with an UV dryer. The station is equipped with an anilox cylinder. Additional anilox cylinders are available as upgrade options.
Spot UV Coating and Embossing Station
This station uses MGI award-winning inkjet technology for producing Spot UV coating. Any defined label area can receive Spot UV coating with or without raised 3D texture effects. A simple grey level TIFF file designed by pre-press controls the surface area and the thickness of the varnish applied over the printed roll. This 100 % digital process eliminates traditional plates, screens and dies.
Varnish thickness
From 72 to 2322 μm of varnish thickness (from 2D flat coats to 3D raised effects).
Inline curing
The unit is equipped with an UV dryer and a cooling drum for optimum web temperature control. The curing sequence also includes a special forward and backward roll motion to dry each label and eliminate waste between runs.
UV Varnish
Gloss varnish 99 GU
Hot Foiling Station
The hot foiling station adds luxurious effects and brand value to label and packaging products. Any defined label area can receive digitally-controlled foil with or without raised effects. A simple grey level TIFF file designed by pre-press controls the surface area and the definition of the foil applied on the printed roll. This 100 % digital process eliminates traditional dies, plates and screens. Foil application can be bypassed when not necessary.
