Canadian finishing firm invests in foil stamping

Montreal’s Gravure Choquet has installed a Kluge 14 x 22in EHD foil stamping, embossing and die-cutting press, its fifth unit from the finishing equipment manufacturer.

Of its installed Kluge EHDs, this model is configured with an optional pre-load magazine allowing the operator to load sheets without stopping the press.

Gravure Choquet is a trade finisher, and currently has 24 presses capable of finishing a variety of sheet sizes.

Patrick Choquet, the owner of Gravure Choquet, said: ‘We keep at least three of our Kluges busy every day, sometimes all five. The 14x22 EHD is ideal for feeding and foil stamping pre-die-cut folding cartons. 

‘It also allows us to die-cut jobs without nicking so nothing has to be sanded, the product goes direct into the box. The ease of feeding and make-ready make it a good choice for our small quantity, short runs that would be too time consuming on a larger press.’
