The iTech CENTRA HS is a high-speed, roll-to-roll digital converting system that allows users to laminate, die-less cut, strip the waste matrix, and slit custom labels in one production pass. It can diecut any custom shape right from Adobe Illustrator or Corel Draw using the same vector file that would normally be sent out for die manufacture. It can convert printed materials from any digital or analog print platform, including inkjet and thermal printers or a conventional flexo press in roll lengths up to 1,250 feet (381 m) and up to 14 inches wide (356 mm). The computer-driven technology can also cut multiple depths within the same cut file, allowing for perforations or multi-layer applications.
