A versatile cold foil for web printing
If there is a company that can easily be defined as the front line in providing solutions suitable for creating luxury packaging, this is definitely Luxoro*, exclusive agent and distributor for Italy of foils and clichés produced by the Kurz group.
Among the latest new features presented by Kurz at the recent Labelexpo Europe 2019, we mention the new KPW XU cold foil for narrow-band rotary printing.
This new product intends to provide labelers with a cutting-edge solution for cold finishing, combining excellent processing characteristics with excellent decoration results.
KPW XU in detail. The cold foil is characterized by a versatile quality, which guarantees a high covering power and a perfect definition even in the details for a precise and brilliant result; moreover it guarantees a perfect overprintability with UV inks.
«The newly developed cold film simplifies the production process for printers», explains Jens Niemann, head of Application Technology Graphics at Kurz. «With a suitable machine and material setting, an application is obtained that fully enhances the qualities».
When using KPW XU, excellent finishing results are achieved consistently, regardless of design. And, as emphasized by Marco Gaviglio, the business manager of the Luxoro graphic sector «given that the quality of our new foil allows, even more than before, to reproduce innumerable and different colors, to obtain infinite shades and opacity of colors, the result of customization is incomparable : a quality that has no equal in the field of cold printing».
Investments in research and development at Kurz have also led to results that not only confirm, but further increase the performance level of cold printing products: extraordinary shine, immediate drying both with conventional and UV processes, the possibility of carrying out the tape test as soon as the printing is finished without any waiting. The KPW XU cold foil has obtained certification for indirect contact with foodstuffs.
* Luxoro is the exclusive agent and distributor for Italy of foils and clichés produced by the Kurz group, a benchmark in the packaging sector for special hot, cold and digital finishing solutions, for holographic effects and for the clichés produced under the h+m (hinderer + mühlich) brand.
