Still Going Strong

Micha Noah, R&D Manager, Tadbik Pack (Teradion, Israel) adds, “Tadbik Pack has grown sales 30 percent over the past year compared to the same period in 2006-2007.”

Applications abound

Noah says Tadbik has found great success in printing on very thin substrates, which allows the company to create beautiful shrink sleeves and in-mold labels, both of which give a no-label look. “The gravure stations on our combination presses are a large part of that—the rich white, metallic and pearlescent inks, and the ability to create gloss and matte effects with varnishes—add great elegance to our shrink sleeves and in-mold labels.” He adds that Tadbik also uses gravure for inks with special-effect pigments and for strategic application of glue to hold shrink sleeves in place.
