Heidelberg Innovation for Label Production

Positioning for the Speedmaster XL 105-DD

Heidelberg already offers two solutions for diecutting—Varimatrix and Dymatrix. Both solutions are designed for packaging production and are based on the principle of flatbed diecutting, whereas the Speedmaster XL 105-DD uses the principle of rotary diecutting and has been specifically designed to meet customer requirements for processing in-mold labels. These labels today are usually processed on flatbed diecutters or “push-through” diecutters (in which the punching stamp pushes the material stack through the cutting die to give the stack its intended shape), but both are hampered by limitations, because flatbed diecutters can only process single sheets and push-through diecutters are only suitable for labels measuring up to 400 mm.
