Exhibiting under the theme “Wherever You Are, Go Further,” Heidelberg North America will showcase its scalable solutions for the commercial, packaging, and label markets in Booth 10143 at Printing United. Whether maximizing its customers’ efficiency or helping them grow, Heidelberg has solutions that can take printers further – regardless of the current size or primary market segment of a business. Aimed at empowering current commercial and folding carton customers to expand into new areas of business, Heidelberg will premiere its new Digimatrix 60 FC die cutter and hot-foiler as well as the Diana Go 85 folder gluer – both machines aimed at short run and digital packaging solutions – at the first Printing United Expo in Dallas, TX, October 23-25, 2019.

Digimatrix and Diana Go: Short-Run Packaging Solutions for Commercial Printers and Converters

For commercial printers looking to bring finishing solutions in-house or converters trying to find an economical solution for short runs, justifying the cost of a dedicated die cutter and/or folder gluer can be difficult. A flexible, small format die cutter and foil stamper, Heidelberg’s new Digimatrix 60 FC is an ideal answer for digital run lengths. With a very small footprint, the Digimatrix runs up to 5,500 sheets per hour and can process sheets up to 23.6″ x 17.7″ – perfect for finishing a variety of short run or small format jobs. The foiling version of the machine (FC) allows for hot-foiling on a wide array of substrates. The machine can be equipped with Masterset, which registers each sheet individually via print marks for excellent print-to-cut registration allowing easy processing of digitally printed sheets.

Heidelberg’s new Diana Go 85, a cost-effective, flexible and productive folder-gluer, is making its US debut at Printing United. At less than 33 ft. in length, the Diana Go can produce cartons at speeds up to 250 m/min (820 ft./min) and a width up to 33.4 inches. The Diana Go handles a variety of carton styles such as straight-line and lock-bottom cartons, as well as special styles with attachments, such as envelopes or even presentation folders. The Diana Go fits well in most short run, digital and/or commercial environments due to its compact design and versatility.
