Heidelberg has demonstrated its new Promatrix 106 CS die cutter and the new Diana Smart 55 and Diana Smart 80 folding carton gluing machines at a packaging day at its Wiesloch-Walldorf plant.
The machines target companies that manufacture folding cartons and other packaging companies focusing on short to medium-sized runs.
Using the example of an end-to-end job for a fictitious outdoors store, Heidelberg staged a live demonstration to show visitors the production process for invitation cards, stand-up displays, posters, folding cartons, and CD jackets. Frank Schaum, who now has overall responsibility for Postpress at Heidelberg, says, “In the medium term, we are going to continue to expand the product portfolio in die cutting and folding carton gluing machines.”
The Promatrix 106 CS die cutter, for short to medium production volumes, performs die cutting and embossing at a speed of 8,000 sheets per hour. The Diana Smart 55 and Diana Smart 80 folding carton gluing machines offer a platform for medium volumes in the production of straight line and lock bottom cartons.
Shaum adds, “In the medium term, we are going to continue to expand the product portfolio in die cutting and folding carton gluing machines.”
