Holographic Origination and Machineries Limited
Stamping Foil and Die Cutting
Product Description :
Modular equipment for hot transfer, hot stamping foil die-cut, slitting in rolls and sheeting. Designed specifically to integrate the range of holographic equipment, this machine can be used either one function at a time or in a combination of some or all of the above functions together on-line. This can be done roll to roll or roll to sheet.
In particular, it has been designed for the application of stamping foil holograms onto paper or plastic which can then be processed and cut into sheet form. Alternatively, starting with self-adhesive material in roll form, it is possible to die-cut the holographic image and then cut into sheets or smaller rolls by means of two independent slitting units.
Hot Transfer Process
The material, onto which the transfer is to be made, is loaded in roll form at station 1 and from here it is carried under station 2 for perforations for continuous stationery if required. It is then taken through stations 3 and 4 for the transfer of the hot stamping foil.
Three rolls of hot stamping foil can be loaded at any station, transverse to the direction of the base material. It is therefore possible to stamp 6 colours or, alternatively, 5 colours plus one hologram, at a specific station equipped with optical character readers.
The printing of the hologram is achieved by means of the optical sensors reading a bar mark placed at the side of the hologram, and also markings on the base material itself. If the base material has no reference marks, the process continuous by means of a step repeat motor. Following this application the base material can be rewound on roll, slit to sheet or slit to smaller tools.
Die-Cut Process
The self-adhesive material is loaded at the unwind station 1. Then passes through the die-cut station 5, which has been preprogrammed with the desired shape. The maximum size is 160mm x 160mm. When this is complete, the film can be trimmed and rewound on roll or cut into sheets.
