Online B2B label manufacturer etikett.de has installed two Digicon Series 3 finishing lines from A B Graphic (ABG).
Established in 2011, etikett.de operates a fleet of state-of-the-art equipment and employs a 70-strong team to provide a high quality and reliable offering, as it strives to become Germany’s market leader for online label production. The investment in finishing will help the company supplement production and expand capacity, while furthering its market penetration ambitions.
Being modular in design, both of etikett.de’s new Digicon Series 3 machines have been configured to meet its specific production requirements. One of the machines features ABG’s Fast Track die-cutting module, a semi-rotary die-cutting system that can run at 150m/min and suited for large jobs of 1500 linear metres or more. Also included on this machine is an auto-slit module, which features a time-saving label gap sensor and automatically setting knives. etikett.de’s second machine includes ABG’s Big Foot 50-ton capacity hot foil and embossing module. Featuring a rotatable foil head that can foil across and along the web, allowing a wide choice of foil options, together with deep embossing and debossing, the module also includes a special coating unit for imprinting with UV coatings. ABG’s die-cutting module and a 100% camera inspection unit are also included.
Both machines were installed at the company’s premises in Föhren, Germany during December 2020, in line with the then German government’s pandemic guidelines and restrictions.
Klaus Nordlohne, ABG sales manager for Germany, said, ‘etikett.de’s investment in two high-specification Digicon Series 3s provides a good insight into its ongoing market ambitions. And in testament to the resolve of the ABG team and our customers that, despite the challenging circumstances, we are delighted that we can continue to push forward with important machine installations.’
