Digital Printed Extended Content (Dual Layered) Labels
Extended content labels, or multipart labels, are commonly found on pharmaceutical products
, herbicides, pesticides, and other products requiring extensive information for the user or consumer. Although these multilayer labels can be efficiently set up on a Flexo press using the Servo 3000 Infeed + Re-register System, short runs are typically better done on a digital press. In fact, a digital press can be the ideal solution when the label, or parts of the label, need to read differently by city, state, or country due to differences in local regulations, not to mention language. The problem for a digital press is finding a finishing solution that can effectively deal with extended content labels. Stand alone machine can't do the job but a Flexo press fitted with the Servo 3000 can.
A Comparison of Finishing Solutions for Digital Press Work
There are a number of stand alone, "modular," machines made for die cutting, stripping, and laminating labels from a digital press. The same work can also be done on a Flexo press or die cutter upgraded with the Servo 3000 Digital Infeed + Re-register system. Using an existing press or die cutter fitted with the Servo 3000 the job gets done using existing equipment with which employees are already familiar. A Servo 3000 assisted press can do finishing at speeds substantially faster than the digital press and then go back to other work. By comparison a stand alone finishing machine stands alone under a dust cover until the next time this single use machine is needed.
A Comparison of Finishing Solutions for Extended Content Labels from a Digital Press
Only a press fitted with Servo 3000 can reregister the web from the first layer of labels and hold the second layer in register with the first in order to print multipart labels! A stand alone finishing machine cannot do this. Thus, there is no comparison. The Servo 3000 comes at a fraction of the cost of a new high end servo press. It extends press flexibility, makes the press more cost efficient, reduces waste on all jobs, and expands the range of substrates on which a press can print.
Servo 3000 Assisted Press vs. a Stand Alone Finishing Machine for Finishing Extended Content Labels from a Digital Press
Points of Comparison
Servo 3000 Assisted Flexo Press versus a Stand Alone Finishing Machine
Finish labels from a digital press
Yes on both.
Finish extended content labels from a digital press
Servo 3000 Assisted Flexo press: Yes
Stand alone finishing machine: No
What is it doing when not finishing labels?
The Servo 3000 is making the Flexo press more flexible and profitable with less material waste and the "stand alone" solution is standing alone in a corner under a dust cover
The Servo 3000 added to a Flexo press takes the difficult job of
printing and finishing multi layer labels and makes it manageable and efficient. Using a Servo 3000 assisted press for long runs of extended content labels makes the job efficient with less waste and, typically, shorter run times.
Using the Servo 3000 with an existing press is an excellent means of finishing short runs of multi layer labels done on digital press. When compared to stand alone solutions it is the only means of doing so short of purchasing a new $500,000 to $1,000,000 servo press.
