GIDUE Launches Food Packaging Program for UV Flexo

D’Annunzio also announced that a major label converter in Italy installed a Master M5 630 Digital Flexo press, in-line with a new development from GIDUE, the Master SL 630 Solvent-Less Laminator and that it could have major implications for the packaging industry.

“The combination of UV Flexo and in-line solvent-less lamination is potentially revolutionary for the flexible packaging market,” he says. “Our solution avoids any contact of UV inks with the reel (and with the food), by ‘protecting’ the UV-printed surface with a laminated film before rewinding. The risk of UV ink migration is virtually eliminated. In particular, label converters familiar with UV flexo technology for several years, could enter the lucrative short-runs flexible packaging market, with a limited learning curve, providing excellent UV flexo print quality.”
