By freeing up the overspecified finishing lines for the 20% of jobs that actually need complex embellishment, a converter can increase overall throughput without adding floor space.
The WorldStar Awards recognize outstanding technology and design based on criteria including functionality, environmental performance, and graphic appeal.
The iEcho system uses a digital cutting head that follows a CAD file, producing the first piece as fast as the thousandth piece, with no tooling cost and no waiting for die manufacture.
EMF uses a capacitor bank to discharge electrical energy through a coil, generating a magnetic field that collapses the aluminium onto the mould at speeds measured in microseconds.
The RD 530mm rotary die-cutting finishing machine operates independently from the press, allowing Jackrom to print on the RFP 660S while simultaneously die-cutting previously printed rolls on the RD.
PureCycle’s dissolution process uses a solvent to selectively dissolve polypropylene, leaving non-polypropylene contaminants (labels, adhesives, other polymers, colourants) as solids that are filtered out.
The new technology has demonstrated a measurable reduction in misting, a wider water window for more stable printing, lower dampening levels, fewer make-ready sheets, and more consistent colour density during long-term production testing.
The cardboard solution uses Kraft EE (Electrical Grade) corrugated board, a material engineered for strength and rigidity without the weight and volume of EPS.
The Diet Coke shortage was a real-time validation of this structural vulnerability: when global aluminum supply chains tightened due to the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, India had no domestic fallback.
The PP Revolution line is designed for recyclability, with select sizes rated “Preferred” under the APR Design Guide for Size Sorting Potential, which helps support recyclability claims and possible Extended Producer Responsibility fee benefits.
