Grafotronic DCL2
HAPTIC DIGITAL

fully modular HIGH-END Digital embellishing

Grafotronic HAPTIC DIGITAL delivers outstanding results and reliability thanks to the full integration of the most robust, patented by Kurz inkjet on foil technology. HAPTIC DIGITAL delivers a seamless application of metallic finishes and bright color effects on a wide range of substrates including uncoated papers, as well as thin film materials, offering maximum flexibility.

Grafotronic HAPTIC DIGITAL represents greater efficiency and simplicity in embellishing labels. This sustainable finishing solution applies decorative finishes with minimal waste and without the need for tooling like printing plates or screens, which significantly reduces production time and costs.

The HAPTIC DIGITAL offers unique advantages in the production of labels for: food and beverage, cosmetics, chemical, pharmaceutical and luxury-packaging sectors – especially for short run work. Digital cold foiling is also used to enhance brand protection with anti-counterfeiting features.

Thanks to Grafotronic’s 100% modular concept the HAPTIC DIGITAL module has been designed for rapid integration and retrofitting and can be combined with any of Grafotronic’s DCL2 modules.
