Full range from Hilton Laminating
The goal for Hilton Laminating is “to provide the best and most innovative laminating systems to the Australian market to promote in-house capabilities for printers”. It says not having to outsource laminating work gives printers full control over the finishing process, reducing the overall costs and time taken to complete client work.
We are very excited to introduce the latest technology to the market via this year’s PacPrint21 trade show. We have handpicked the models we
feel best suit the Australian market, through
our supportive and loyal customer base we have been given the opportunity to discuss the current requirements, taken onboard feedback and ensured the range of laminators on show reflect those needs.
Hilton says on its stand you will be first drawn to the GMB laminating system. Measuring 4.6 metres in length, it says this fully automatic laminating system will be a “show-stopper”, with its ease of use, pallet to pallet system, its technologically advanced heating system, and its ability to run at 60 metres per minute. Hilton will be showcasing the latest equipment from D&K Europe, it says the Europa Flying Knife will cause a buzz, with its ability to cut through any laminate and its available options makes it the laminator of choice for the packaging and print market, for both digital and offset printing.
Also on show the Neptune laminating system is
a compact, high performance laminating system designed for in-house use allowing the printer
to have full control of their finishing needs. The Neptune comes with a foil rewinder for high speed, automatic foiling runs.
In addition to the laminating systems, Hilton will also showcase its range of Starglazers laminators, available in four varying sizes. The manual Starglazers with the foiling uptake rollers create short run foiling work.
In addition to our laminators, Hilton will show its full range of films, including Velvet Touch anti-scuff,
and its full range of metallic foils and holographics. 21
