Reel & Roll Handling
Pulse Roll Label Products moves to multi-layer, multi-lingual labels N
arrow web specialist Pulse Roll Label Products has switched from its existing 1 ply labelling
for packaging of its inks, coatings and varnishes to using multi-layer, multi- lingual self-adhesive labels, printed with its own PurePeel UV flexo peel and read release varnish. In co-operation with leading self-
adhesive label producer, Skanem Cardiff, the new labels have been designed and printed to incorporate H- (hazard) and P- (precautionary statements) phrases in English as well as 20 other languages. The new 3 ply peel and read labels
provide five printable areas for information which means that Pulse Roll Label Products now requires just one label for all its product packaging requirements. Colin Stafford, operations director,
Skanem UK, says, “Skanem offers innovative labelling solutions to customers across different market segments including home and personal care, premium wine and spirits. Our expertise in printing peel and read labels combined with the fact that we already use Pulse Roll Label Products’ PurePeel release coating for printing multi-layer labels, meant that this project partnership made perfect sense. The high performance PurePeel UV flexo release varnish is suitable for use across a wide range of applications and
has excellent printability and repeatable release properties – a market requirement especially for markets such as industrial products that carry safety and hazard warnings. For release varnish, PurePeel is our coating of choice for the growing peel and read label market.” Mikaela Harding, product manager at Pulse Roll Label Products says, “As part of our drive for continuous improvement, we are constantly looking at different areas of the business where we can increase efficiencies. The move to a multi-layer design for our product packaging streamlines our process and fully complies with the latest labelling regulations.” PurePeel is formulated to provide
repeatable release properties and adhesion on a variety of substrates for application on a wide range of packaging, containers and bottles. This provides an ideal solution for brand owners allowing extra space on pack for consumer product and safety information, user instructions and multiple languages, but without sacrificing graphics, visual appeal and
impact on shelf. This is particularly relevant for product packaging and labelling in the personal and beauty care, household, pharmaceutical and industrial sectors. Because of its free radical UV
formulation, PurePeel can be used on any printing machine at any time, significantly reducing waste and press clean-up times, improving production efficiencies and overcoming issues often associated with the use of cationic systems on press. Pulse Roll Label Products will be exhibiting on stand G12 at Label&Print 2019.

Precise alignment for tissue converting I
ndustrial sales and repair specialist, CP Automation, has introduced the Re Spa web guiding
(WG) series to its product portfolio. These intelligent retrofit parts are set to solve common problems for tissue, aluminium foil, paper and plastic film manufacturing and processing plants, by offering precise alignment of web winding and consistent printing and cutting processes. Effective alignment from the unwinder to
the rewinder is a must for any converting businesses wanting to increase productivity and product quality. Re Spa’s web guiding systems are an ideal retrofit option that can be added directly to the existing system’s unwinder, to guarantee a fast and accurate correction of material position. The Re Spa WG705 web guiding product
is designed for reels up to 600mm in width, while the WG2003 suited to reels larger than 600mm. Both are fitted with ultrasonic sensors that feedback the position of the

material to the web guiding controller, which sends a correction signal to the roller to reposition the material accordingly. A further source of frustration for
converting is the alignment of the web prior to folding after the cutting process has taken place. At this point, the web is smaller, so there is less room for error. The material
MARKET NEED “Re Spa has identified a clear need for this product in the converting industry,” explains Tony Young, director of CP Automation. “Factories in all industries are becoming smarter, and tissue, film and foil processing and manufacture certainly won’t get left behind. Alignment issues don’t need to be a costly or recurring problem anymore, as these devices from Re Spa are now available for post-unwinding and post- cutting precision. “Businesses that have retrofitted these
parts are already reducing their production waste, reducing time spent on setup and increasing print quality.”
