At the upcoming interpack trade show held from May 12 to 18, 2011
in Düsseldorf, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg)
will be presenting a comprehensive range of products and solutions
for packaging printing. The Linoprint unit will be taking center
stage at Booth E31 in Hall 11. The company will also be represented
at Booth 7AB11/C30 in Hall 7a in the "Health (Wellbeing)" category
of "Innovationparc Packaging".
"Inkjet printing is rapidly gaining in importance for the
packaging industry," says Stephan Plenz, member of the Heidelberg
Management Board responsible for Heidelberg Equipment. "Alongside
its advertising printing portfolio and associated postpress
operations, Heidelberg has been consistently investing in the
development of industrial inkjet technology for many years. At
interpack this year, the company will be showcasing sophisticated
inkjet solutions for the packaging industry that are already being
used successfully by our customers."
The Linoprint digital inkjet printing systems offer
brand-name manufacturers, packaging producers, and filling
companies solutions for many different areas of applications in
modern packaging production, where customized decoration and
labeling play a key role alongside flexible substrate printing. The
trade show presentation will focus on applications for the
pharmaceutical, cosmetics, and manufacturing industries, such as
the chemistry or DIY sectors. With regard to pharmaceutical
applications, Heidelberg will be using the Linoprint Driveline B,
for example, to demonstrate the many options available for printing
on aluminum foil and label material, thus highlighting this
machine's versatility. Within the scope of "late stage
differentiation", i.e. differentiation in downstream production
phases, even short runs can be printed as required and in excellent
quality.
"The flexible Linoprint solutions are making it possible to
integrate digital printing into packaging lines," says Daniel
Dreyer, Head of Linoprint at Heidelberg. "When integrating inkjet
systems at customer sites, we factor in both the existing
production environment and the inks and substrates to be used in
our systems."
High-quality offset solutions in Innovationparc Packaging
Heidelberg will also be represented in the "Health
(Wellbeing)" category of "Innovationparc Packaging". As a
technology partner in several joint projects, Heidelberg will be
taking this opportunity to demonstrate how cold foils can be used
effectively and sustainably to finish and further process design
packaging for OTC products, pharmacy cosmetics, and cosmeceuticals,
for example.
