St. Croix Falls, Wis. – Brandtjen & Kluge, LLC (Kluge), the
recognized industry leader in digital print package converting solutions, is thrilled to be back in Chicago September 30-October 2 for PRINT 18. At the event, Kluge experts will demonstrate high quality finishing equipment solutions showcasing new advancements in diecutting, foil stamping, digital foil transfer, and folding and gluing at Booth #1603 at McCormick Place.

ApexFoil™

Successfully launched at PRINT 17, the ApexFoil™ will be back in Chicago at PRINT 18.

The key properties of foil stamping are simple to identify: Time, Temperature and Tonnage. Until now, although simple to identify, those properties have been difficult to measure and control. Now, operators can use the ApexFoil's Compass™ control system that includes patented features to control the "3-Ts" Time, Temperature and Tonnage. Compass allows operators to greatly reduce, and in some cases, eliminate make-ready on every job.

DIGITAL METAL®

Leveraging the benefits of the digital print workflow, the DIGITAL METAL® process allows digital transfer of foil onto paper and cardboard substrates. At the heart of the process is the DM-Liner®, a digital foiling device that precisely completes the foil transfer, optimizes foil usage and manages inventory intelligently. The DIGITAL METAL® process is highly effective in producing decorative effects for labels, brochures, invitations, magazines, packaging, photo cards, calendars, and more.
