KyoJet integrated with Labelmaster is touted as the only single-pass machine that delivers labels from PDF and printing to finishing and ready to ship.
The printer was impressed by Labelmaster’s ability to switch jobs and adjust settings on-the-fly, in addition to its ability to cut a wide range of materials.
The machine features an inspection system from Nikka, closed-loop unwind tension control, and an automatic slitting unit with servo-driven knife positioning.
Installed at the Itasca, IL headquarters, the new machine is part of the company’s ongoing focus on updating and modernizing its fleet of converting equipment.
Several converters and partners came to the Philadelphia area for the event, which showcased Italian-made Lombardi flexo and finishing technology and much more.
The custom-printed promotional products supplier is overcoming challenges of meeting short lead times due to outsourcing label cutting and post-processing.
The investment includes a Digicon Series 3 line dedicated to peel & reveal and multilayer labels, a Vectra turret rewinder, and a flatbed screen printing unit.
