S-One and Cellcoat codevelop thermal laminator

The thermal laminator, codenamed T14 offers compact design, provides accurate tension control and high-speed capability suitable for digital label and flexible packaging printing. The new machine targets converters using HP Indigo Series 3, HP6000 series and 330mm wide press owners who focus especially on speed to market and creating minimal material waste.

The design includes an in-line corona treater, lay-on roller, chill rollers, edge alignment and in-line slitting that can all be managed by a single operator. The T14 will be available in North America and EMEA exclusively through S-One.

‘S-One is committed to helping HP Indigo printers expand their markets by adding capabilities to do more cost-effective lamination and offer unique surfaces and finishing solutions for flexible packaging,’ said Ralph Giammarco, S-One vice president. ‘We are excited to join forces with Cellcoat, who have engineered a state-of-the-art machine to help our customers build their business by adding these new capabilities.’

‘The T14 design has been heavily influenced by experts in the flexible packaging industry,’ added Jonathan Smith, managing director of Cellcoat Systems. ‘This, combined with our 33-years’ experience in thermal lamination and our new partnership with S-One give label printers a practical way to diversify and innovate in their business to keep ahead.’
