Pantec shows inline hotfoiling system at Labelexpo

After exhibiting at Labelexpo Europe, Pantec GS Systems reported increased interest from visitors in its inline hotfoiling technology, which the company says results in lower cost per label and shorter lead times.  The company showed its Rhino inline flatbed hotfoil embossing system. 

Peter Frei, CEO of Pantec GS Systems, said: ‘We had well-known, experienced printers on our booth who could not believe that our stamping process can really achieve outstanding results on open, structured paper at 120 m/min with perfect register and microembossing structures. 

‘High speed with foil saving for large volumes not only allows higher press usage, but economizes foil massively. It is also the basis to go inline to printing presses for premium wine labels, as Rhino’s revolvable head allows multistroke for single pass manufacturing of ambitious designs, with combinations of foil and blind embossing, still running at a speed of 40-60 m/min. 

‘Flatbed hotfoiling allows use of cheaper foils and tool costs are a fraction compared to rotary.’ 

‘We had a very intensive week at Labelexpo. We were shortlisted for the final of the Label Industry New Innovation Award. With our demonstration we could convince so many people that there is an alternative to traditional foiling and the number of leads and high potentials is excellent. The printers feedback to Rhino is exciting, as they confirm that definitely a new foiling area in the label business starts with an unprecedented efficiency.’
