What is HP Indigo Pack Ready’s contribution to the digital market?

BY Jacob IN No comments

A new lamination development has been unveiled by HP Indigo that takes zero cure time and thus enables flexible packaging converters, saving time. This HP Indigo Pack Ready has marked a remarkable change in the market delivery time in all printed flexible packaging.
The lamination process plays a vital role in the flexible film production to ensure the integrity of the printed flexible pouches and bags. However, the drawback was that the cure time was too lengthy. With this pack ready technology, this lengthy cure time has been changed to zero cure time.


The packaging lamination technology, no matter whether it is solvent-free or solvent-based, requires coating. This in return requires curing time which may vary depending on the application. For some the time may be a few days, while for some others it may be over a week. Again for some high-end applications like for the retort pouches it may take up to ten days. This lengthy curing time prevented the utilization of speed the digital printing offers.
 
With the coming of HP Indigo Pack Ready lamination technology, everything has become easier within limited time frame. Also, it offers a high laminate bonding performance. The operators can learn this process easily.
