Finishing - Digital Enhancement

Following the successful installation of a Highcon Euclid IIIC digital cutting and creasing machine at their Brook Park, Ohio site at the end of 2019, Digital Room has now increased production with a newly installed Beam 2 machine at their site in Van Nuys, Calif.

To further extend its reach, Highcon has partnered with Sun Automation, who will be promoting and selling Highcon digital converting solutions for corrugated in North America.

A label or package that engages multiple senses is sure to stand out on shelf. Digital embellishment platforms have emerged to take on these opportunities.

LPI has partnered with Israeli-based Scodix to purchase multiple Scodix Ultra 6000 Digital Enhancement Presses, the first of which will be installed at LPI’s New Berlin, Wis., location this July.

Xeikon has announced the launch of its new Fusion Embellishment Unit, the Xeikon FEU. The stand-alone solution is based on MGI technology and can provide embellishments on a variety of printed materials.

The upgraded version of the TRESU iCoat II is optimized for coating applications in short-run digital print jobs requiring fast job changes. It is capable of speeds up to 6,000 sheets/hour, while accommodating paper sizes up to B2.

While the handling of a physical product is already a proven method of establishing a strong connection, adding print embellishments can take that connection to a new level. By enhancing a printed product, a fuller sensory experience can be achieved, leading to a deeper impression on the consumer.

Tactile enhancements, eye-catching embellishments, and natural finishes are just some of the ways brands are bringing luxury to their packaging.

After making a big splash at drupa 2016, Highcon is poised to expand its footprint in both the corrugated and folding carton segments. Shlomo Nimrodi, Highcon CEO, spoke with Packaging Impressions about the company's plans for drupa 2020.

First unveiled at PRINTING United, Konica Minolta's MGI JETvarnish 3D One is a simple, compact, and affordable digital embellishment press. The new device utilizes components of JETvarnish technology and offers a full spectrum of 2D/3D spot coating and dimensional textures.
