Omet introduces Cold Foil Saver

Launched at the 2019 Labelexpo Brussels, the new Omet Cold Foil Saver is available for all Omet flexo presses starting from the iFLEX up to the X6 series. It is also available as an attachment which can be ordered and installed by all existing customers.

This new technology allows printers to use the same foil twice for the same print, with no compromise on the printing speed delivering the same quality of the cold foil transfer.

According to the company the Cold Foil Saver is able to deliver up to 50 percent raw material savings thanks to a special paper path specifically designed to perform a double pass of the cold foil in the perfect register.

‘The reduction of waste and the resulting cost savings guarantee greater productivity and increased profitability for customers. Omet customers will now be able to achieve the same quality by limiting raw material consumption by up to 50 percent and produce less waste when compared to existing technologies,’ said Marco Calcagni, sales director at Omet.

This development also demonstrated the company’s continued commitment to sustainability, which has been one of the main goals of its research department, aimed at ensuring greater productivity and profitability to customers by either creating energy saving or waste reducing solutions.

The company is working with leading industry partners in the areas of sustainable materials and technologies, recycling, waste reduction, water-based inks and energy saving with UV-LED drying to ensure that the future of packaging is both sustainable and profitable.
