KURZ Transfer Technology
360° TRANSFER FINISHING
Sustainability from start to finish
Printed products with a high quality finish catch eyes at the point of sale with their special haptics and visual effects. Premium packaging makes contents appealing, triggers buying impulses, and creates differentiation. That’s why upscale finish- ing is ever more important.
KURZ transfer products let you apply a wide spectrum of fascinating effects to emotion- alize your products.
What’s more, we consider it our duty to pro- vide sustainable solutions for outstanding print finishing.
We achieve this with consistently sustainable actions along the entire value chain. No finishing technology should conceal the beginning and end, nor the manufacture, of products.
The finished end product does not contain foil, only an extremely thin decorative layer that has been transferred with an absolute minimum of material. Printed products that have been finished with KURZ transfer products can be deinked and recycled.
The transfer process itself is emission-free and does not use wet coatings.
No volatile ozone-depleting halocarboons, no cadmium, no lead, no chromium trioxides, and no carcinogenic raw materials are used in the production process. The transfer product itself is not a hazardous material.
The obligation to provide information on hazard- ous substances in products, stipulated by the latest REACH VO regulations, is not required
for our transfer products.
Our production standards throughout the world keep us up to 85% below the legally mandated limits.
The PET substrate, which remains with the processor as a residual material, is correctly sorted by process and stays in the industrial cycle for further use. Residual material can be thermally recycled and used as a high quality replacement for gas and oil.
