Great Combinations

Even with screen printing and hot foiling being fairly common in higher end package printing, there is still additional opportunity to provide different looks. This is done by providing the capability to put the hot foil and screen units at any point on the press.

Says Lloyd Bradley, senior sales manager for Gallus: "Traditionally, hot foil and screen are at the end of the process, perhaps positions seven and eight. But when you have the ability to move it forward in the process and lay down screen on top of foil, you can generate some very unique looks and give innovation opportunities to label designers. This change gives the label a different feel and look."
