Swift is designed as a unit to save expensive foil and place holograms, and can achieve foil savings of 90 percent or even more, depending on foil design. High value holographic foil can be used with even lower cost than foiling without foil saver.

Further, Swift is optimized to achieve very short setup time, with a large part of a job able to be prepared off-line, upfront.

Swift was shown on the Pantec stand with five lanes running hot foils and holograms, although a maximum configuration of six lanes is possible. A running speed of 80m/s is achievable.

A high level of interest was reported in the system across the three days of Labelexpo Americas 2014, with demonstrations of Swift on the Pantec stand continuing until late on the final day of the show. The unit on show is destined to a customer in Bolivia.
