The Large Format Hot Foil Stamping Days held at the BOBST Competence Center in Mex, Switzerland, introduced visitors to the new economics of added value finishing brought about by the EXPERTFOIL 142 size VI hot foil stamping press. Visitors from 20 of the leading companies in Europe using hot foil stamping saw how getting extra products onto a sheet can dramatically change the profitability of the process, especially when margins are tight.
The event also allowed visitors to hear about, and exchange ideas on, the latest developments in the hot foil stamping process, especially at the large format size, from BOBST and selected partners including Hunkeler Systems, Kurz Prägefolien AG, hinderer+mühlich GmbH & Co. KG, and UEI Falcontec.
“It doesn’t make a lot of sense for packaging makers or printers who print at size VI to then have to cut their sheets down to hot foil stamp them,” said Marco Lideo, product sales director for BOBST BU Sheetfed Folding Carton. “It’s much more cost effective to work at size VI throughout the entire production process and it can make the difference between profit and loss on a job.”
