Using the example of its successful HEAVY and JAZZ case series, manufacturer W.AG from Geisa will be showcasing the customer and product-specific customisation of its designer cases using in-mould labelling at this year's FachPack. In this innovative multicolour printing process, the outer visible surfaces of the case housings are given a brilliant, colour-intensive and scratch-resistant print directly in the injection moulding machine. Interested parties can see the excellent quality of the photorealistic IML prints for themselves on site.
The successful JAZZ and HEAVY case series are used to demonstrate the high-quality results that can be achieved with the IML process. While the plastic cases in the JAZZ series are characterised by Highly functional all-rounder the robust models in the HEAVY series are designed for the Use in the heavy goods and logistics sectorr designed.
The techno design of the JAZZ, which is available in 15 sizes, is primarily orientated towards the requirements of the manufacturers of High-tech products - in medical, laboratory and measurement technology, for example. With the double-walled HEAVY, on the other hand, which is manufactured in a sandwich construction, everything is focussed on Maximum stability customised. Currently available in 13 sizes, this case is designed for the safe transport and handling of large, heavy products such as power tools or control units.
Individualisation creates added value
In-mould labelling (IML) is playing an increasingly important role in the product-, sector- and customer-specific individualisation of W.AG's design cases. The company can now customise almost all design case series in its large portfolio with the Optical enhancement of photo printing processes. Among other things, this is made possible by regular investments in modern injection moulding systems that have special handling systems with which in-mould labelling can be integrated into the process.
The company can now finish the entire JAZZ series using the innovative deco process. Only the largest version of the HEAVY (665 x 562 x 250 mm) is not yet IML-capable. In addition, the plastic cases in most of W.AG's other product series can now also be printed with in-mould labelling - right up to the latest designer case model TWIST, which will also be on display at FachPack.
