Mele Printing, Covington, Louisiana, has installed a Kluge 14x22 EHF Foil Stamping, Embossing and Diecutting Press.  The EHF brings foil stamping and diecutting in-house giving Mele Printing both a faster delivery time and a lower cost of production for their customers.   Two key features of the EHF are the Adjustable Impression which significantly reduces make-ready time and the Electronic Foil Control System which offers alternating foil sequence that saves valuable foil.  The Electronic Foil Control System can also be configured for registered hologram applications.
