API increases Transmet production capacity
API Laminates has increased the production capacity for its Transmet laminate following the completion of the upgrade, and commissioning, of a new module on the Laminator 4 production line at its Poynton manufacturing site in the UK.
Transmet is API Laminates’ film-free option for paperboard that provides an all-over, print-receptive coating to the base material in a bright metallic finish. The brightness and physical characteristics are class leading, the company claims, and is suitable for use across all commonly used printing technologies.
The characteristics of Laminator 4 ensure that Transmet laminates are manufactured to an exceptionally high tolerance, a requirement demanded for print registration. It also is capable of producing a complete range of laminate finishes including Transmet holographic which enables brands to select the laminate style and effect that adds unique visual impact to their product’s packaging.
Dino Kiriakopoulos, API president and CEO, said: ‘Our Transmet product has been recognised as the market leader in Europe and its film free finish provides brand owners with a fully recyclable material.’
Will Oldham, chief commercial officer at API, continued: ‘The investment across all our foil, laminate and holographic sites ensures we can provide brand owners and printer converters with a complete range of solutions together with the service levels they demand and deserve.’
