The new large format board to board laminator
A new Lamina board to board laminator at Mirri’s Reading site will widen the company’s brand of 3D structures, FSDUs and other metallic POS products.
Mirri, a division of Celloglas, has installed a large format board to board laminator. This will facilitate a fast turnaround service of large format Mirri boards that have been laminated to thicker substrates for use in point of sale projects.
Large format Mirri can now be supplied laminated to materials such as Foamex, corrugated and display board. These substrates will then be ready to make into 3D structures, FSDUs and other POS items. The growth of large format digital printing in the POS sector has also increased demand for thicker Mirri substrates that can be printed on digital flatbed presses.
The maximum sheet size on the new laminator is 1600 mm x 2000 mm; minimum is 350 mm x 350 mm. The top sheet weight is 130-450 gsm; the bottom sheet is 250 gsm or 0.6 microns to 10mm. The machine features an automatic substrate feeder, precision gluing and lamination with front and side registration.
Mark Askham, business development manager at Mirri commented, ‘The installation of this machine will strengthen our offering to the point of sale sector. It will also allow us to develop a range of thicker Mirri substrates for use across several markets, including POS and packaging.’
Andy Kirby, general manager at Mirri, added, ‘The large format board to board laminator will complement the new ultra large format laminator that is due to be installed within the next few weeks.’
