A compact electrostatic charging system for in-mold labeling (IML) is claimed to provide consistent pinning power regardless of changes in ambient conditions or variations in label properties.
Among the latest developments in decorating and printing at the NPE show in Chicago were digital printers, flexographic printers for bags, and scratch-resistant heat-transfer foils for hot stamping and in-mold decoration (IMD). Also featured was new equipment for laser marking and engraving and an electrostatic charger for in-mold labeling (IML). News in stamping foilsSolidBrush metallic finishes are the latest heat-transfer foils from Kurz Transfer Products.
A new charging bar for web pinning and temporary bonding uses long-lasting tungsten electrodes in a unique configuration that reportedly achieves 20% higher charging currents than standard bars.
Energy-saving all-electric machines will continue to be a big draw at NPE, where new designs or upgraded models will be found in virtually every press maker’s booth.
