For the application of hot foil on rough or textured papers (e.g. wine labels, …), flat embossing is advantageous. Difficult surfaces require a longer retention time than that which is achieved with rotating embossing.
Designed for in-line:
A flat bed in-line hot foil embossing unit requires a series of functions and high performance in order to be able to used successfully in-line. The rotating foil head enables innovative, multiple colour designs to be produced directly in-line in one cycle. With qTool® (pat. pend), Pantec RHINO™ offers the fastest tool changing. The Pantec RHINO™ tool cassette immovably holds male moulds and stencils while remaining universally adjustable. Not even rotary printing machines get around the use of a flat hot foil embosser when difficult surfaces have to be embossed with hot foil. The integration concept of Pantec RHINO™ is proven in in-line application in rotary machinery. A separate web tension station uncouples Pantec RHINO™ from the printing press. The ro st mechanics of Pantec RHINO™ enables web speeds of up to 120 m/min. The integration of the flat embossing unit into the printing machine is now possible with suitable foil and substrate without losses in productivity and a multitude of advantages are accessible!
