The Pantec GS Systems Open Days 2015 will be held from 27 to 29 May at their head- quarters in Kradolf. The three day event will focus on the latest trends in efficientprocessing of high-quality packaging, including effectual foils, Fresnel-Lenses and holograms with security features accompanied by the rotary hot foil stamping system in roll-toroll. Pantec GS Systems will present the advantageous possibilities of their ePack and Cheetah solutions, which for example, leading Chinese manufacturers who have recently switched to this sheetroll-to-roll process, improved cigarette packaging for their customers with high productivity and quality. Other focal points of the event will be on the adept processing of labels with holograms and lenses with the foil saving module Swift, as well as the production of 3D embossed labels for wines and spirits, using the narrow web flat embossing Rhino Pantec GS System, in a rotary printing machine.
Packaging manufacturers face the ever-increasing cost reducing demands that force rethinking on mass application processing. This background stands out from our perspective in the packaging market, a trend towards rollto-roll processes from which will be our theme topic at our Open Days,” explains Peter Frei, CEO of Pantec GS Systems. Around 20 years ago, the situation was similar in the label market. Nowadays, many manufacturers have switched to the roll- to-roll procedure to reduce their production costs.
Packages with lenses do not need to be laminated anymore since this falls in therefinement process with these eyecatchers in one step – an equally economic and ecological aspect. The inline integration of hot foil stamping with stamping operations increase the efficiency of the production process significantly. Moreover, since the quality control in roll-to-roll process integrates the different steps, expenses are therefore, generally much less than in multistage processes.
