API's TA Cold Foil Helps Olympus Print Increase Output by Over 50%

API's TA cold foil helped Olympus Print Group increase production speed and quality.

The TA cold foil has been applied to gold and silver PP and PE substrates on the Olympus digital converting line, which helped to increase application speeds from 8m-10m per minute to 25m-30m per minute.

Olympus Print Group produces self-adhesive labels and large format digital printing solutions, which can be used for a wide variety of market applications.

The company will apply API TA cold foil by using an ABG Digicon 3 finishing line and Sericol cold foil adhesive at its base in West Yorkshire.

Olympus Group business improvement manager Steve Makin said: “The TA foil from API has enabled us to increase our output by over 50%, which is fantastic.

“Not only has it helped our efficiencies, it has also significantly improved the quality of our final product.”

API account manager Phil Clarkson said: “When we talked to Steve about the machine speed he was getting with his previous cold foil, we were confident that, with the technical support we offer, we could help him achieve vastly superior results.”

API produces and distributes foils, laminates and holographic materials, which can be used for brand enhancement of consumer goods and printed media across the globe.

With 13 locations across Europe, America and Asia, API produces packaging solutions that can be used in various industry sectors such as premium drinks, confectionery, tobacco, perfumery, personal-care, cosmetics, and healthcare.
