Peacock Bros a leading label manufacturer and a supplier of specialty printers has released the Primera FX400 In-house Foil Imprinting System capable of automatically applying shiny gold and silver film to inkjet printed labels.
Primera FX400 foil imprinting system is an optional accessory to LX-Series Color Label Printers applying shiny gold and silver borders, fonts and other graphics to inkjet-printed labels.
The effect is virtually identical to the traditional metallic hot-stamp technology, adding brilliant, shiny highlights to labels.
Since the process is 100% digital, there are no set-up charges. Virtually any design imaginable can be printed.
“Adding shiny gold and silver graphics to your labels dramatically increases your visibility on the retail shelf and getting noticed almost always means more sales making it easy to cost-justify” says Mr. Crump, Managing Director of Peacock Bros.
“Products that can benefit from shiny metallic borders and graphics include wine, specialty and fancy foods, high-end gift items and much more.”
Clear film for FX400 is also available. When printed onto inkjet-printed labels, it not only adds a professional, glossy finish but also makes labels virtually waterproof.
Additionally, the clear film adds UV resistance to printed output, allowing longer exposure to natural and artificial light sources. Primera’s exclusive PTFoil™ Software is included with FX400.
The software makes it fast and easy to combine two different graphics — one for inkjet printing and the other for foil imprinting — on the same label.
Also included in the system is a powder-coated metal stand for holding the LX-Series inkjet printer and the FX400 imprinter.
The stand keeps both units perfectly aligned during production and allows a “loose loop” between the two printers.
