Film Gives Tamper-Evidence
Polyart TE, recommended for tamper-evident labels, is durable and resists water, grease, and chemicals. Once applied on packaging, film delaminates and shreds at the first attempt to remove, providing evidence of tampering. Said to be easy to print and convert with conventional techniques, and die-cutting reportedly is very accurate at high speeds.

Converting System Upgrades with Ease
The Lambda flexible converting machine offers a plug-and-play, full servo-driven solution with easy future upgrades through the incorporation of additional converting, printing, or laminating modules. Can be configured as an RFID solution with a multilayer process capability, matching webs to registration and inserting an RFID tag. Additional applications include booklet insertion, security applications, multilayer, scratch-off, automotive, medical, and R&D.

Move Easily from Inkjet to Screen Printing
Multi-Print Media products include JT5529BFD and JT5929BFD vinyl, which reportedly transition easily from digital inkjet to screen printing platforms due to the layflat polycoated liner component in the product construction. Products help cut costs by reducing the need to carry two different types of media to achieve the same print quality and improve installation with company’s IMAGin B-Free air egress adhesive system.

Films Suited for Tough Use
THERMLfilm Chemgard 20361, 21361, and 22361 polyester films are said to offer a high level of chemical and scratch resistance for product ID, warning/instructional, and compliance labels. Does not require an overlaminating film when used with the Ricoh B110CU resin ribbon. The result is a durable label solution for use in harsh environments, company says.

Verify Bar Codes
New flat bed bar code verification system can run on a PC with Windows XP at a competitive price, company says. Uses same software package as company’s Integra 9500 bar code verification station, including several recently published Industry Standards and the GS1 Global Report Template. Offered in standard 1.3 MP camera-based system and HD Version with a 2.1 MP camera.

Produce Flexo Plates in Less Time
The Concept 201 HTD is an integrated unit able to manage the whole production cycle, from exposure to finishing, of flexographic plates to 66 x 81 cm. Said to be ideal for limited size environments such as narrow web and label applications. Integrates company’s HTD dryer, said to allow a time reduction in the plate-drying process.
