Leonhard Kurz and Steinemann DPE will present the solutions for digital finishing, cold transfer, and hot stamping under the motto ‘Being a pioneer. Creating the future of embellishment’ at Gallus Experience Center‘s opening event.
Innovative technologies, efficient and sustainable processes, impressive effects – packaging and label finishing highlights will be displayed in the brand-new Gallus Experience Center. The demo center in St. Gallen, Switzerland, is being built within the new excellence center at the site of press manufacturer Gallus. The company will also celebrate another milestone from June 19 to 24, 2023: 100 years of Gallus.
Digital coating and metalizing
During the event, Kurz and Steinemann DPE will demonstrate the design freedom offered by the DM-UNILINER 3D digital print finishing machine. The stand-alone unit enables both flat and fascinating three-dimensional digitally printed metallization effects as well as the edge-to-edge application of fine details and larger surface decorations. Whether high-gloss or matte designs, the unit can implement various embellishments in a roll-to-roll process. Digital metallization, for example, can be applied similarly to analog finishing in cold transfer before color printing (preprint) and then overprinted in color. It also can be used similarly to analog hot stamping decoration after color printing (postprint). In addition, the stand-alone solution offers a high degree of flexibility because it can operate independently of the CMYK printing system and process. As a genuine system solution, all components of the DM-UNILINER 3D match each other perfectly. Machines, software, consumables, and service come from a single source.
Efficient and sustainable, and individual solutions for label finishing
In St. Gallen, Leonhard Kurz will showcase Distorun, a module characterized by high efficiency which contributes to sustainable and economical production. Leonhard Kurz claims that the unit will enable the printing of still-unused areas on already applied cold transfer products. This way, each roll can be used several times to save resources. The possibility of single image applications such as 3D holograms through the Distorun cold transfer module will offer customers significant added value for individual brand identity.
Valuable input and individual exchange
At the opening of the Gallus Experience Center from June 19 to 24, 2023, all visitors can expect a varied agenda with exciting talks by top-class speakers, exclusive expert discussions, and presentations. On June 19 and 20, events for the (trade) press will be held in the mornings. June 21 to 23 are exclusively for customers.
