API’s foils add impact to the packaging and labels produced by Edale’s narrow web label presses by using the Xaar Digital Print Bar System.

Combining the input of three UK packaging and print suppliers, the application technology has been made to maximise the visual impact available for labels by combining flexo and digital print with API’s foils.

Beginning with a base flexo printed label, the Xaar Print Bar System is then used to apply the adhesive, which then enables API’s cold foil to be added as part of the label design.

This high-precision engineering adds single-pass digital inkjet print, varnishes or adhesive allowing the benefits of digital print and finishing to be added to label and packaging lines economically and with ease.

There are now more possibilities available to designers through the combination of Flexo & Digital print together with API’s foils to allow products to stand out and innovate.

The combination of Xaar’s Print Bar System & API’s cold foils can help add functionality, features and impact for customers.

API’s cold foils add a premium high-end finish to pack labels and help designers meet the demands of brand owners to deliver the right message and impact for their products at the right price.

This new application technology combined with API’s latest foils, is enabling packaging designers and printers to produce an unlimited range of metallic colours and screen effects including multi-colours and half tones.
