Auckland-based PrintLounge has ordered a second AB Graphic International (ABG) digital converting machine: the Digicon Lite 3 Series.

Supplied through Currie Group, ABG is a global leader in innovative labels and packaging solutions.

PrintLounge director Steve Sheppard said, “PrintLounge is extremely excited about the acquisition of our second ABG machine. We’ve been so impressed with our first one, that it seemed like the only logical step.

“Although I have investigated other options, I feel that the ABG is exactly the right fit for our needs, fulfilling our current requirements as well as being future proofed for further endeavours in the label and packaging markets. Currie Group has been excellent to deal with and provides us with all the service and support we need.”

Currie Group A/NZ labels and packaging director Mark Daws said, “We are thrilled to see PrintLounge invest in its second ABG digital converting line. This decision reflects its commitment to innovation and quality in the ever-growing digital labels and packaging market.

“Our partnership with PrintLounge continues to strengthen, and its investment is a testament to the value it sees in our technology.

“It was clear from their time spent at Labelexpo Americas last month that they thoroughly explored the best solutions to drive their business forward. We look forward to supporting its ongoing success in the future.”

The Digicon Lite 3, a compact digital finishing system built to the same exacting standards as the larger Digicon Series 3, can run at 64 metres per minute in semi rotary.

Currie Group New Zealand country manager Craig Paul added, “It provides an excellent solution for day-to-day applications, and can provide additional capacity at busy times. The Digicon Lite 3 is easy to use and can be specified with a wide range of options”.

Other features of the machine include:

• Cold foiling – produces a great, foil finish with a standard, flexo plate.
• Super varnish – produces a premium, high gloss finish.
• Autoslit with label gap sensor – saves time by automatically setting knives.
• Iscore – saves time by automatically setting back scoring knives.
• Sheeter – enables you to finish sheets as well as web.
