Prati to show booklet finishing line at Labelexpo Americas

Prati will show its Vegaplus Booklet finishing line on stand 717, hall A, at Labelexpo Americas, which takes place in Chicago on September 14-16. 

Since its launch last year, the Vegaplus Booklet finishing line has been gaining interest from the pharmaceutical, agro-chemical and food industry, reports the company. Specifically designed for booklet labels, the Vegaplus Booklet can run with web widths of up to 450 mm and enables operations such as the inspection of pre-printed labels, the application of the booklet label on the base label, variable data printing, lamination and die-cutting. 

At the show, Prati will demonstrate the benefits of the off-line production of booklet labels on the system, including higher speed and enhanced productivity if compared to in-line finishing systems. Visitors can witness how the pre-printed reel is being inserted in the Vegaplus which then applies the leaflet in register with the base label. The booklet labels are laminated using a Longford rotary lamination unit and then die-cut in register and rewound. The variable data printing, obtained from an Atlantic Zeiser inkjet head, brings additional value to the labels.  

The Vegaplus Booklet can produce five kinds of labels: standard, coupon, flat- curved and thick booklet. With a simple change in the parameter set up, booklet labels can be applied to both flat and round surfaces, disregarding the diameter, and without wrinkling.  

The Vegaplus Booklet reaches a maximum speed of 48 m/min. The servo-technology provides great accuracy in leaflet positioning and die-cutting, to comply with the strict regulations of the pharma industry. The Vegaplus operations are intuitive, thanks to a touch-screen panel program, offering ease of use and quick set ups. The self-diagnostic software indicates when interruptions or defects occur.
