Due to the growth in Herma’s Self-adhesive Materials division, the company has invested in a new, state-of-the-art slitting machine at its headquarters in Filderstadt near Stuttgart, Germany. The machine is designed for demanding labelstock and large roll diameters.
Herma invested approximately 1.5 million euros in the machine. “Thanks to our multi-layer technology, printers can produce labels from film-based labelstock much more easily", says managing director Thomas Baumgartner. "Multi-layer HERMA materials cause less adhesive bleeding, for instance. Likewise, the level of contamination of the slitting dies is significantly reduced."
The company made the decision to invest in another machine for optimal results in processing demanding film-based self-adhesive materials. Clear-on-clear labelstock and metalized films, for instance, require constant winding tension for optimal quality, as well as precise, clean cutting edges.
According to Herma, the new film slitting machine sets benchmarks in this regard, handling rolls with a 1,250mm diameter at a constant quality. "The high winding quality, as well as the use of large rolls, can help printers to increase production efficiency,” adds Baumgartner.
