Graph-Pak delivered the Rollem Insignia rotary die cutters to Australia back in 2010, and since then over a dozen machines have been successfully installed.
Available in four models, the Insignia Series from Rollem International is a new class of sheet-fed rotary die cutter capable of die and kiss cutting, embossing, perforating, scoring, and cut-scoring a range of papers, plastics, magnetic material, PVC, styrene and polypropylenes.
Insignia Series machines are the only cutters in their class capable of die cutting up to 30 pt in thickness. 100 per cent USA-made and built using all American sourced components to meet all press sheet sizes, the cutters are ideal for folded cartons, promotional products, garment and industrial tag, labels, nameplates, shaped direct mail, photo products, pocket folders, stickers and more.
Makeready in minutes
The Rollem Insignia IS7 hybrid machine offers the ability to use a single cutting tool, or a paired set of dies when looking to produce packaging products or other scored work.
When running a single cutting die, it wraps a blank lower jacket around the lower cylinder. This acts as the cutting surface for the upper die. This setup allows for cost savings on tooling when producing straight die-cut product and or die-cut or kiss-cut decal work.
When producing boxes or the like, a paired set of dies means zero makeready. In addition, it enables embossing and debossing of substrates in a single pass.
“Operators can also use the twin drum as a single counting drum. It offers the capability to turn it off and on based on demand. Also, the machine offers die-cutting, kiss-cutting, embossing, perforating, and scoring on a huge range of stocks, to 30pt to 650gsm,” Graph-Pak managing director Tom Ralph said.
The Insignia Series consists of:
Insignia 5
The Rollem IS5 rotary die cutter creates a distinct space in the print finishing market for 20×15” sheet-fed, packaging, promotional and mail applications. With run speeds up to 5,000 sheets per hour and its ease of operation, IS5 can open endless revenue streams for your business, at a surprisingly affordable price.
Insignia 6 – Also available as HYBRID
The IS6 rotary die cutter’s 20×20” capacity offers the ability to feed the sheet either landscape or portrait to maximize sheet layouts. This feature saves on valuable sheet space and provides more flexibility with image impositions. Functions include die-cutting, kiss-cutting, embossing, perforating, scoring, creasing, and hole punching, as with all Insignia models.
Insignia 7 – Also available as HYBRID
The Insignia 7 rotary die cutter is a breakthrough in die cutting and packaging technology. With its B2 30×24” capacity, this new class die-cutting machine creates a distinct space in the print finishing market for die-cutting sheetfed larger format output including packaging and mail applications.
Insignia X3 – Also available as HYBRID
The Insignia X3 rotary die cutter offers a wealth of value-added processes including the ability to cut up to 30 pt thickness. Its 24×24” sheet size adds to its feeding and layout versatility. Commercial and package printers alike are using the Insignia X3 to convert an extensive range of substrates.
“Year after year we continue to build great relationships and partnerships, not only with our machinery suppliers but also with our loyal customers, it makes me proud to know we are delivering great solutions and providing knowledge through innovation,” added Ralph. “My best sales tool is happy customers!”
