Muller Martini’s VSOP web press technology featured at Label Expo Americas

Press release from the issuing company

Visitors to Booth #1344 can experience the ease and quickness of the VSOP’s changeover ability 

Muller Martini product specialists will be at Label Expo, September 9-11 in Booth #1344, to speak with visitors about the quality, flexibility, and proficiency that make Muller’s web presses ideal solutions for label, flexible packaging, folding carton and other packaging opportunities.

In addition, visitors can learn about Muller’s Variable Sleeve Offset Printing press (VSOP) which delivers a one-stop solution for a variety of packaging needs, including shrink sleeves, wet-glue, wrap-around and in-mold labels; films, laminates and food packaging; and folding boxes, liquid packaging and carton printing. The VSOP offset press features a unique sleeve technology which allows print sizes to be changed without having to remove entire inserts. Muller’s booth will contain a static replica model of a VSOP Print Tower that simulates sleeve changes, showing just how easy and fast it is to start a new job.

The VSOP web offset printing press features an impressive list of functionality and operational advancements, including:

  • New ergonomic construction allowing for easier machine access for sleeve changes and daily operation
  • Innovative electronic control technology utilizing fewer components for greater machine reliability
  • Efficient external roller setting feature reduces the initial and operational roller setting time by half
  • Optimized ink train design delivers consistently reproducible ink settings
  • Modular design philosophy enables flexible machine configurations for a wide range of hybrid packaging printing applications

Information about Muller Martini’s other mid- and narrow-web offset offerings—the Alprinta and Concepta—will also be available in Booth #1344. Size changes for both the VSOP and Alprinta-V are made by exchanging lightweight sleeves, whether carbon-fiber and/or aluminum cylinders, instead of entire printing inserts.

Label Expo Americas, North America’s largest event for the label, product decoration, web printing and converting industry, takes place September 9-11 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois (a suburb of Chicago). Muller Martini is in Booth #1344.
