UV Ink Printing

Label World recommends its Ko-Pack combination press with UV inks for advanced high-quality printing and converting of labels and flexible packaging.

The Ko-Pack press is highly unique in offering a number of finishing capabilities in-line:

Up to 12 color printing with UV inks for super-saturated color
Width up to 10"
Print resolution to 200 lpi
Screen printing for extra opacity or texture
Plow-folding, pattern adhesive coating, and laminating for converting multiple webs--creating nearly any label or flexible packaging construction required

Ko-Pack's unique design of print stations positioned around a central impression drum, plus additional print stations in a vertical stack. The CI drum allows the press to maintain incredibly tight registration while printing multiple colors, since all the print stations are constantly a fixed position from each other around the drum. When combined with super-saturated UV inks, the Ko-Pack can deliver extremely high-quality labels and packaging for the health and beauty business and other segments that have high print quality requirements for medium and long runs.

Additional converting features also make the Ko-Pack press capable of creating on-serts for promotional printing like coupons, IRC's, and extended content labels to help marketers promote their products with on-pack information and offers. Plow-folding and multi-webbing also support pouches, packettes, and blister packs.

Digital Printing

Label World also can offer you the flexibility of digital printing. This is perfect for situations with short/ medium runs, higher print resolution or variable data requirements.
