Folienprint RAKO GmbH, a company of the All4Labels Group, is expanding its expertise in the field of digital printing and is adding a new HP Indigo 20000 Digital Press machine to its existing fleet.
The All4Labels Group has been using printing presses from the HP Indigo series for almost 20 years, and in 2015 Folienprint RAKO acquired its first HP Indigo 20000 Digital Press.
"Films and packaging can be a great help to companies in marketing their products. Digital printing promises great potential in this area in particular: in addition to high-quality results, production is simpler, more flexible and faster than with other processes. What's more, customers can customise their packaging - a special eye-catcher for the end consumer."
Doris Erhardt-FreitagManaging Director at Folienprint RAKO GmbH
Just recently, for example, Folienprint RAKO used the HP Indigo 20000 Digital Press fleet to produce the shrink sleeves for the limited design edition of the classic Pril dishwashing liquid with the popular flower patterns. You can find out more about the special promotional packaging here read.
Fast, flexible and affordable
The HP Indigo 20000 Digital Press has been specially developed for flexible packaging and features a Web width of up to 760 mm and a Print speed of up to 42 m/min. It is capable of producing dozens of different orders per day.
With zero set-up, minimal waste and simple versioning functions, packaging companies can profitably meet the changing demands of the market and gain a valuable competitive advantage.
HP SmartStream Mosaic is an algorithm that automatically generates a large number of unique graphic patterns from a source pattern.
To create print-ready PDFs, Folienprint uses HP PrintOS Composer, a cloud-based application based on centralised high-performance servers, to quickly create print files from variable data.
PrintOS Composer creates compact PDF files for optimised fast processing on HP DFEs, making it significantly faster than traditional non-cloud tools. The ability to use PrintOS Composer without hardware installation, if required, simplified and accelerated production at Folienprint.
