Allkotes to promote
excitement in print
Allkotes general manager Darren Delaney says the company will be using PacPrint to show 50 different products, with the emphasis on how exciting and effective print is as a communication channel.
The company will be promoting a range of products including 3D Optix which uses lens technology to give printed substrate the illusion of depth. The background is manipulated to provide a depth perspective which gives the artwork an impression of depth and distance.
Also on show will be the anti-bacterial AntiKote Plus, which counters Covid microbes to the tune of 84 per cent, rising to 99 per cent for bacteria such as Staphylococcus & E-Coli.
Delaney says, “The Allkotes promotion booklet will also be on the booth, which shows the full range of products. Print remains a powerful communication channel, the range of enhancements from Allkotes with their different textures and effects show print in its best light.” 21
Tony Bertrand, marketing manager at Ball & Doggett says, “We will show how print service providers can set themselves up for success when it comes to growing their value in the eyes of their customers.
“Print service providers need to continually evolve their offerings to market. Without a plan to tackle sustainability issues internally as well as in market, many may find it difficult to compete. We have several solutions we can offer, so come and speak to our specialists at Pacprint.”
It will be running two presentation sessions during Pacprint. Experts will speak about the way print service providers can use sustainability as a differentiator and make this a competitive advantage.
Ball & Doggett will also be showcasing its commitment to Australian-made products
1.2mm and 2mm thickness, can be digitally printed on both sides on a UV inkjet flatbed printer, and according to the company, has “excellent converting” capabilities. It is manufactured from natural wood and fibre construction, making it a fully-recyclable substrate, which can be placed in any paper/ cardboard recycling bin, allowing users
to dispose of it responsibly. It is aimed at short-term outdoor use, as the product can maintain its structural and dimensional integrity outdoors with durability and water resistance up to 12 weeks. Point-of-sale applications, bollards, sandwich boards, posters, signage, displays and advertising are all in its remit.
The company will also be highlighting its iConsignment solution, which sees stock located within the print business. 21
Innovative solutions the focus on Böttcher stand
Böttcher Systems will show off its full range of solutions on its stand at PacPrint, with a display it says will support all ‘four pillars’ of its business - carton packaging, printing with hybrid UV and Light Emitting Diode inks (HUV-LED), flexible packaging, and commercial print.
A focus of the show for Böttcher will
be innovative solutions aimed at helping businesses reduce makeready times while also improving their sustainability record, says managing director, Mitch Mulligan.
“Böttcher’s ECS ‘Easy Cleaning
System’, for instance, was designed with this in mind,” he says. “These easy-to- clean inking rollers incorporate special polymers and additives in the rubber to reduce the adhesion of the ink to the roller
surface, effectively improving ink transfer whilst also enhancing the washability of the roller train.
As well as the special roller coverings, the ECS system now also includes washes with enhanced cleaning power, including the Mistral ECS, which will be launched.
Tailor-made solutions for flexographic and rotogravure printing will also feature on the company’s PacPrint stand, with the proven Cambium sleeve for plate mounting among them.
It will also be showing sleeves for
plate assembly, including products from the BöttcherFlex product series which includes DLE elastomer sleeves and plates for direct laser engraving. DLE elastomer sleeves enable premium printing quality
with the advantages of an endless seamless printing form.
Böttcher’s flexible packaging range
is complemented by its converting products, which include special products used on a wide variety of converting equipment to facilitate processing steps from varnishing to laminating, winding, slitting, die-cutting and embossing.
The BöttcherFlex portfolio is rounded off by the new washing and care products, including Velvet for use with water colours, and Solvento for solvent and UV inks.
Also on stand at the show will be BöttcherTop 4k and Rainbow blanket technology, along with the BöttcherTop range of coating plate for water-based and UV varnishes. 21
