Trelleborg
will show its new Printec 8263 offset blanket at the forthcoming Asia CanTech
event, which takes place in Malaysia between 7th – 9th November. The
consumption of canned drinks in South East Asia is expected to increase
significantly over the next few years and Printec 8263 is designed specifically
for two-piece can production.
“As a
major player in the global offset blanket market Trelleborg is in an ideal
position to develop solutions for specialist printing applications that require
very specific features,” says Marco Carlini, Regional Sales Director for
Trelleborg in Asia Pacific. “We launched Printec 8263 at Drupa 2016 and have
since received extremely positive feedback from printers operating in the
two-piece can printing sector. It’s the perfect blanket for printers who need
to meet the latest demands for personalization of cans.”
Printec
8263 is a self-adhesive blanket designed for laser-engraved personalization. It
has an advanced, stable adhesive layer that provides a strong adhesion, leaving
no residue on the cylinder. The cream color of the layer under the top face
allows accurate control of the engraved design. The blanket offers an extremely
high mechanical resistance and the top face can be laser-engraved with very
fine precision.
Successfully
used in Europe and America by the biggest aluminum can printers, Printec 8263
has been fully validated in the field and is today one of the most innovative
blanket solutions for beverage can printing.
Andrea
Trevisi is South East Asia Sales Manager for Trelleborg. “The worldwide
packaging sector continues to grow strongly and metal sheet printing is an
important part of that industry. Customers expect first class print quality on
cans and the relevant consumable and equipment suppliers have all had to raise
the bar to meet these required standards. Trelleborg also continues to improve
and develop new offset blanket solutions and we will be showing a range of
products at Asia CanTech. We look forward to discussing with visitors how we
can help their business,” says Andrea Trevisi.
