Label Manufacturers Meet at Heidelberg Label Days

Heidelberg demonstrated the highly productive manufacture of inmold labels in sheetfed offset on a Speedmaster XL 106-6-P+L with a CutStar sheeter. The machine processed a print job using a 60 µm EUP film from manufacturer Treofan in perfecting mode at a speed of 10,000 sheets per hour. In straight mode, a transparent 57 µm ETH film was printed at a speed of 12,000 sheets per hour. The jobs were printed using UV inks and a water-based coating. The sheets were dried using UV interdeck dryers and a DryStar UV Combination dryer in the quadruple-length delivery. Heidelberg offers its customers full flexibility in this area, with drying solutions developed specifically for this segment involving additional drying units located after the coating unit.
