Efficient hot-foil embossing and die-cutting for high-demand packaging applications

The Ecofoil 106 FC combines precise foil application with high productivity to meet the needs of ambitious packaging printers. With a foiling pressure of up to 300 tons and speeds of up to 7,500 sheets per hour, it enables high-quality hot foil stamping, embossing, and optional holographic effects. Advanced control and monitoring features ensure reliable operation, while optimized foil usage can reduce material consumption – resulting in lower costs and increased output of additional sheets.

The Ecofoil 106 FC offers many benefits to commercial and packaging printers alike.
