Iconotech

For more than 30 years Iconotech’s digital printing process has provided packagers with simple, fast and flexible printing systems for batch printing corrugated cases, die cuts and multi-wall kraft bags. The cost savings generated by the Iconotech process can be very substantial thanks to several key features: Users have total control of graphics, barcodes and text on every print job. Changes are quick and simple – no plate costs or lead times. Consolidating SKUs into common case sizes drives down the cost of corrugated. Using generic cases eliminates scrap and obsolescence. Printing systems give years of service with minimal maintenance. Iconotech digital process is a direct contact printing process using a nontoxic, pigmented ink and a very thin, disposable fiber-backed Mylar film as a “print plate.” Print layouts take minutes to create and changes take seconds in standard labeling software. Layouts are output to a thermal imager to produce a high definition print stencil that provides a large 11” x 32” (280mm x 812mm) print field accommodating graphics, barcodes, logos, and product information. Precise contact between the thin print medium and the substrate combined with the non-fade, opaque ink renders outstanding print. Users get a preprint look and a superior choice to flexography for short to medium runs of 10,000 cases/bags or less with a maximum print output of 3600 RSC cases/hour. All Iconotech printers use the same process. Users can start with an entry level machine, choosing a feeding system appropriate for their throughput and print media – RSC cases, die cuts, trays or kraft multi-wall gusset or valve bags – and add the appropriate material handling components they need for maximum efficiency and productivity. Iconotech’s process and equipment puts control back in the manufacturer’s hands providing them with the advantages of flexography but at an enormous savings for small to medium batch runs.
