Open House at Heidelberg Packaging
11/30/2005
Postpress Inforum in Mönchengladbach enables customers to
see the added value possible for folding carton production
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) has been hosting "Packaging Days" at its Postpress Inforum in Mönchengladbach since October 2005. With the four die cutters and five folder gluers on display the company can show customers and prospective buyers from all over the world how value can be added in folding carton production. The first visitors from Germany, France and Scandinavia were visibly excited about the uses and possibilities of having one continuous production process. The program of events will continue until the end of February 2006.
"These Packaging Days are another opportunity for us to position packaging printing as a strategic business field in Heidelberg's portfolio," explains Dr. Friedrich Denkhaus, Head of Postpress at Heidelberg. These events introduce customers to solutions that combine high quality die cutting, folding and gluing with high output. An entire packaging workflow provides a step-by-step overview of how a folding carton is produced. Printing takes place on a Speedmaster press, followed by hot foil embossing on the Dymatrix 106 CSB, die cutting on the Dymatrix 105 CS and finally gluing on the Diana 45 folder gluer. A new exhibit at the Postpress Inforum is the Varimatrix 105 CS, which Heidelberg first unveiled at this year's China Print in Beijing. The ECO 80, the successor of the ECO 78, is used to demonstrate how a CD pocket is produced. Covering an even broader processing spectrum than its predecessor, the ECO 80 can be used to create four and six-corner collapsible cartons. The Diana 165 is used to produce traditional corrugated board cartons. The Diana X 135 with integrated turning module demonstrates how a complicated chocolate box is folded and glued, and how this saves an entire pass - without a turning module this job would have to be performed on a gluer in two production runs. The packaging days are rounded off with customer visits to see how packaging solutions like these translate into everyday usage.
The program of events will take place once again this year during calendar week 49, for which visitors from Turkey, Russia, Belgium and England have already signed up. Events will also be held during calendar weeks six, seven and eight of 2006. Registrations can be made through local sales offices.
