Label Manufacturers Meet at Heidelberg Label Days

Heidelberg is the only printing press manufacturer to offer the Speedmaster XL 106-D rotary die cutting press for finishing film sheets. Customer demands for a more cost-effective alternative to flatbed die cutters prompted Heidelberg to develop a new solution back in 2008. In the meantime, eleven rotary die cutting presses have been installed worldwide. Thanks to makeready times of approximately 15 minutes at production speeds of between 6,000 and 10,000 sheets per hour, the Speedmaster XL 106-D handles far more jobs each day than a flatbed die cutter, while the die cutting costs are around a third lower.
