MGI Previews JETvarnish 3DW and iFOIL W at Labelexpo

At Labelexpo Europe this week in Brussels, Belgium, MGI previewed the newest addition to it’s inkjet product family, the web-fed JETvarnish 3DW and iFOIL W system, an integrated, roll-to-roll print embellishment solution for the label and flexible packaging marketplace. It provides “Foil-on-Demand” (FOD) short-run capabilities for runs from one to 100,000 pieces, plus Variable Data Foiling (VDF) options for mass personalization of every piece produced.

The new JETvarnish 3DW and iFOIL W system adds valuable shelf impact with colorful, eye-catching special effects that improve brand identification and consumer perception. For printers and converters, the new MGI digital system supports the strengthening of customer relationships via rapid prototyping, short-run customization and production-strength power.

The system produces 2D spot UV coating, 3D embossed varnish textures and embossed foil effects all in one pass. The full JETvarnish 3DW and iFOIL W solution also includes a flexo priming station for substrate surface management. MGI integrated this unique pre-treatment process inline to optimize the rendered input for digital enhancement effects.

“Our new JETvarnish 3DW and iFOIL W products were created in response to strong market demand from flexible packaging and label printers who asked for greater decorative finishing options on roll-to-roll equipment," says Edmond Abergel, MGI CEO. "The variable data and barcode scanning features allow a single brand design to be customized for multiple products, in numerous languages and with a personalized set of information on every label that comes off the production line. This is a print digital enhancement solution for the future of the flexible packaging and label industry.”
