For many years printers of artificial food casings have identified the potential benefits of being able to access ‘short run’ production capability, including instant image change with virtually no material waste or down-time. Digicase is a digital system for printing polyamide casings and bags, food packaging films and plastic casings in full colour, plus white.
With immediate variable data changes, the technology is ideal for JIT orders, language and code variations, as well customer proofing. Dual-pass and single-pass printing in four web widths, with a choice of print resolution and operating speeds optimises production flexibility.
User friendly software provides a DRAG – DROP – PRINT sequence for instant job changes. Incorporating the very latest user interface currently available, job changes, the addition of variable data and pdf handling is effortless. Simply by scanning a flexo printed image and adding this to an existing pdf design, it is possible to match digitally printed colours to flexo printing. Print heads to suit specific applications such as; Kyocera, Xaar, Seiko or Ricoh can be specified.
Digicase modules can be retro-fitted to KPG Euroflex casing presses.
Digitally printed casings meet existing meat packaging processing standards, whilst the eco-friendly technology of DIGICASE ensures lower emissions, reduced power consumption and virtually no waste.
