Easton, Pennsylvania, and Stuttgart Germany. SPM Steuer and SPM Steuer USA today announced a successful exhibition at the 2024 Foil and Specialty Effects Association’s Embellishment Conference in Southlake, Texas.

Brian Tunink, President of SPM Steuer USA said. “We thank the FSEA and the Sponsors of the Recycling of Fiber-Based Materials with Transfer Metallic Decoration Study; for having the foresight to finally prove the auto sort acceptability of Foil Stamped print and packaging into the recycling stream. We were blown away by the interest in foil embellishment driven by release of the study at the Embellishment Conference. We are proud of our membership in the FSEA and hope to support future demonstrations of the sustainability of foil decorated print regarding recyclability.”

Marc Steuer, President of SPM Steuer in Stuttgart remarked. “The Recycling study release led to even more interest at the FSEA Embellishment Conference for SPM Steuer than we hoped. We thank the FSEA and Study Sponsors.

Attendee reaction to the Steuer samples that combined both fine line detail and full coverage foil laydown was dramatic. Most knowledgeable at the conference already knew that achieving both in the same pass is usually not possible and were blown away to see that it’s achievable on SPM Steuer today. We had a lot of good conversations about how achieving both is only possible using the high-pressure nip point of a Steuer rotary system.

Additionally, as trained operators become harder to find, the easy and quick makeready and high speed of one Steuer can replace two platen machines while delivering heretofore unachievable image results. A proficient sheetfed offset feeder operator can be trained to run a Steuer in no time at all.”
