Springfield Solutions has formally launched its digital label embellishment offering.
This uses JetFx technology, purchased at Labelexpo Europe 2019, as a module within an AB Graphic finishing line installed at the UK printer. As a digital embellishment module, JetFx – DigiJet creates an offline, fully digital system allowing for multiple processes in one pass, including spot varnishing, cold foiling and tactile screen. The module features two inkjet heads with UV pinning and UV curing, automated cold foil throw-off, a shuttle system for inspection and waste reduction, chill rollers for sensitive materials, pre-press software and food compliant fluids.
Installed in June 2020, the JetFx- DigiJet module is allowing Springfield to offer personalised digital foiling, tactile finishes, digital spot varnishes, and embossing/debossing, all printed digitally.
Matt Dass, joint managing director, innovation at the printer, commented, ‘The module will enable Springfield to create amazing varnish and foil effects, tactile finishes and embossing/debossing embellishments. Being perfect for short runs, our digital package offers no tooling costs, variable data, personalisation and dramatically reduced lead times. It’s a perfect fit that will open many doors to all our customers.’
Digital label embellishment forms part of the printer’s Premium Packaging offer, which is available to brands in a range of different industries and is intended to, ‘give you an elevated sense of competition in crowded markets and allow you to make an immediate impact on sales by adding a touch of luxury to your packaging.’
