With its latest investments in digital direct printing and laser cutting technology, W.AG Funktion + Design GmbH, Geisa/Rhön, has once again added two innovative technologies to its range of services.

This enables the company to offer its customers further options for Product and industry-specific individualisation of its plastic cases. The manufacturer will be demonstrating the advantages of the new processes, presenting a further basic size of its TWIST case series and showing the first prototypes of cases made of alternative biomaterials.

While W.AG's production-integrated in-mould labelling is designed as a high-end printing process for larger quantities and screen and pad printing are primarily suitable for monochrome prints, the company's digital system now also offers the option of cost-effective printing of small series, sample series and prototypes:

Colours and colour gradients are brilliantly displayed, contours and contrasts are razor-sharp, and even case shells made of transparent plastic can be printed in photorealistic quality refine.

Customised design of the plastic cases

In the first step, W.AG offers the Possibility of digital printing for its successful TEKNO, JAZZ, BEAT and SWING case series. With the new production line that went into operation in May Laser cutting system W.AG is expanding its range of processes for processing the foams used for the product-orientated interior design of plastic cases.

Until now, mechanical processes and, in particular, water jet cutting have been used to produce dimensionally accurate inlays from hard and soft foams. With laser cutting, W.AG now has an additional, very efficient Fast and precise drying process.
