South African converter installs Rotocontrol overprinting press

Coastal Labels, a converter based in Cape Town, South Africa, has installed an EDM200 overprinting press from Rotocontrol, the third such machine to be sold to this part of the country. Onsite support during installation was provided by Pascal Aengenvoort of Rototec, Rotocontrol’s South Africa agent, which is also a supplier of tooling to Coastal Labels.

Marius Sullwald, Coastal Labels’ managing director, said: ‘Within two hours we were running our first print job. The EDM200 provides Coastal Labels leading edge technology to efficiently deliver superior quality pressure sensitive labels to our customers.’

Operating since 1986, Coastal Labels offers a complete in-house service from design to printing of pressure sensitive labels. Also available are A4 pre-cut labels (laser or inkjet), blank labels, barcode labels, price marking applicators and a variety of products for the printing and textile industries.  

The EDM200 is a semi-rotary servo-driven UV-flexo machine, using sleeve technology for both print and anilox cylinders, and working with chambered doctor blade technology. It is designed to work mainly as an overprinting machine and has been developed to provide economic production of short runs and fast turnaround for labels, tickets and tags.
