DGM FOILDEX IN-LINE COLD FOIL SYSTEM

The DGM Foildex system allows companies to use cold foil efficiently and profitably by minimizing foil waste and bringing foil cost for cold foil applications to hot foil levels. Foildex offers proprietary control systems which produce the best foil laydown in the industry with superb overprinting. With large area coverage and miniscule reverse out, the system gives a new dimension to print enhancement. Coupled with the ability to produce holographic images with the DGM Filmdex UV film Cast and Cure inline with cold foil and print, gives packaging printers a powerful sales tool and a unique niche in the marketplace.

Based in Montreal, Rock Tenn Canada has adopted direct in-line cold foil application with equipment manufactured by New Jersey based Diversified Graphic Machinery. The DGM Foildex system was installed on a nine color Heidelberg SM102 and commissioned in January. Included was an extended period of extensive staff training to ensure that several crews were brought up to speed and have the ability to produce the best quality product. In fact, it is reported that a major factor in Rock Tenn’s choice of vender was DGM’s extensive product knowledge and their ability to show the best quality cold foiled products from their existing customers.

The DGM Foildex unit is equipped with the latest foil saving techniques to reduce the use of foil to a minimum for any particular job and is a new design for 2012. The unit can run multiple foil rolls from a few inches wide and up to 40,000 ft in length. Foildex includes the DGM 3C (critical condition control) system which allows skilled operators to change the operational conditions via the HMI to ensure the best quality foil laydown irrespective of which manufacturers foil is used and the different foil tensions employed by each manufacturer.

DGM has proved to be the leading supplier to nationally know packaging companies with installation also at Shorewood Packaging and Graphic Packaging International.
