Cool effects

A&R Carton Frankfurt is enhancing its offset printing line with cold foil capabilities.

In 2018, the company installed a Heidelberg offset line, which can print up to nine colors. Equipped with three varnish stations, the machine can produce high-end finishing effects.

“We are always looking into current and future demands to be able to deliver the best value in the packaging industry,” says Ruediger Theiss, plant manager at A&R Carton Frankfurt.

“The printing and finishing capabilities of this new Heidelberg line gives us great possibilities to create truly stunning solutions for premium packaging such as confectionery, tobacco and health and beauty.

“By adding the cold foil module in-line, we confirm our commitment to answer to our customers demand for brilliant, repulpable premium packaging.”

The inline cold foil applicator enables users to utilize cold foil, seven-color printing and three varnish stations in one run.
