COHESIO TECHNOLOGY

The Cohesio Multifunctional in-line coating and printing equipment provides the capacity to:

■ Manufacture your own PS material

In this case, the liner, made of film or paper, is coated with silicone and adhesive and laminated with an unsupported non-printed facestock.

■ Manufacture your own PS labels using pre-printed facestock

In this case, an unsupported pre-printed facestock passes through the Cohesio to be transformed into self-adhesivelabel stock, die-cut and finished. ■ Manufacture your own rolls of PS labels with in-line printing

In this case, an unsupported facestock

passes through the Cohesio to be printed, then transformed into self-adhesive

label stock, die-cut and fi nished.

Create new products which cannot be duplicated by yourcompetitors

■ Print the facestock (top, back or both sides) before making the label

■ Laminate in register to create unique coupons with a multicolor printing on any facestock

■ Print on one or both sides of the liner before applying the silicone

■ Pattern adhesive applications: adhesive spots, coupons, special adhesive forms

■ Linerless labels manufacturing

Process efficiency and waste reduction withthe Cohesio

■ Reduction of waste: printing on the facestock only (unsupported) will eliminate the waste of liner, adhesive and silicone

■ Material cost savings: increase your profit margin by purchasing raw materials instead of pre-laminated label stock

■ Flexibility: produce various products that your competition will not be able to do

by converting raw materials

General process of the Cohesio

The facestock and the liner are placed on individual unwinding systems. The liner, made of fi lm or paper, is coated with silicone and adhesive before joining the facestock (pre-printed or not) in the lamination process. Any paper, fi lm, foil or board can constitute the facestock. Pressure sensitive material made in the fi rst pass can be used, instead of traditional facestock or liner, to create a piggy-back which can be printed on one or both sides. The possibilities are endless!

30% TO 70% SAVINGS WITH THIS PROCESS

Savings resulting from the Cohesio process:1. Printing before coating2. Reducing waste

3. Eliminating over lamination/varnish4. Possibilities of pattern coating

METRONOMEIn a highly competitive world, manufacturers need all the technical edge they can get. ETI has a solution: the Metronome, a turnkey printing press.

Compete in markets such as cosmetics, food, flexible packaging, beverages, media and much more. The flexibility of addingcomponents and the ease of changeovers not only provide the extra edge over the competition but also increase production.

The Metronome allows

■ Printing on thin unsupported films for the packaging industry

■ Traditional printing and die cutting of pressure sensitive material

■ Possibility to upgrade the Metronome to include

Metronome advantages and features

■ Flexo station with drop-in ‘’Bearer’’ or ‘’Sleeve’’ type plate cylinders

■ Gravure and flexo combo printing possibility

■ Anti-vibration technology

■ Fully servo-motorized.technology

■ Register and set-up while the machine is stopped

■ 10 minute complete changeovers

MINILINERTM

The Miniliner™ technology using fi lm or paper-based substrates is a valuable option that could be added to the existing Cohesio technology. Designed to substantially reduce release liner waste, the Miniliner™ technology concept is unique and simple. PS labels are manufactured from raw material to the fi nished product, down to a totally recyclable 12 micron (.48 mil) PET release liner or 30 gsm (20 lbs) paper release liner.

50% MORE LABELS PER ROLL

PELLICUTThe Pellicut is a heavy duty module for precise die-cutting including W type anti-defl ecting system and die equalizer system. This module was designed to die-cut on Miniliner without any die-cutting mark.

FEATURES Substantial savings — down to a 12 micron (.48mil) clear PET or paper 30 gsm (20 lbs) release liner

Environmentally friendly — less waste, recyclable liner

Mark free die-cutting

Adaptable to existing Cohesio technology and/or other existing presses

Could be a stand-alone equipment

Designed for high speed application up to 225m/min (750 fpm)

Less waste

More labels / roll — less roll change

Uses conventional labeling equipment

Uses a conventional magnetic die cylinder

Uses a standard room temperature die

Diameter expansion control system

Fast changeover with drawer system.

Standard PS material MinilinerTM




LINERLESS SOLUTIONSYears ago, ETI developed a linerless technology that no longer uses release liners as a carrier. In fact, there is no release liner during our printing process. For years, linerless technology was strictly used for hand applied applications.

ETI develops various technologies for linerless labels to meet the market needs such as the possibility of automatic applications.

Substantial savings — no more liner

Less waste

Designed for high speed automatic application

Environmentally friendly

Front and back printing

Double quantity of labels per roll

More labels / roll — less roll change

No compromise on label shape on existing labels

Possibility of pattern adhesive applications

FEATURES

Standard PS material LINERLESS




ADHESIVE COATINGS

The ETI adhesive station is designed to coat on any type of fi lm including clear material for no label look applications. It is also suitable for any type of paper. The adhesive is heated and melted in the tank and pumped through hoses to the ETI coating head.

Standard hotmelt

The patent pending ETI hotmelt pattern adhesive unit is designed for easy, accurate and clean edge adhesiveapplications in pattern with a high running speed of 150 m/min (500 fpm) with high quality coating.

Pattern hotmelt

The Cohesio can be designed with a coating and curing system for UV curable pressure sensitive hotmelt based on acrylic, a special type of adhesive which combines the easy handling properties of hotmelt with the clean removability of acrylic.

UV curable pressure sensitive hotmelt

The ETI emulsion acrylic adhesive station is designed to coat on any type of fi lm including clear material for no label look applications as well as for any type of paper. The adhesive is then cured in a horizontal arch gas dryer. Solvent-based adhesives and pattern coating applicationsare also possible with this coating station.

Water based emulsion adhesive

SAVINGS & PROCESS IMPROVEMENT

Savings and process improvementProduce your own pressure sensitive material or labels with the Cohesio to increase your profi t:

Less material is used in the printing process

The total cost of all the raw material is much lower than the cost of pressure sensitive material when purchased from major suppliers

Printing before silicone and adhesive application

Possibility to print full color image on the backside of the facestock

Reduction of the printing waste (printing on unsupported not expensive material)

No need to UV varnish or over laminate.

Two-sided printing

Reverse printing




UNIQUE LABEL CONSTRUCTIONSUnique constructionsThe Cohesio technology allows for the production of high quality pressure sensitive material and for the creation of new and original constructions. For instance, washable labels which will allow you to replace ‘diffi cult-to-remove’ labels for the beverage market and access even more markets with wet-wipe repositionable labels.

Multi-ply labels represent an effi cient and unique label construction produced at high speed on a full web width. It allows for multicolor printing on each side of the multi-ply labels (under the silicone and under the adhesive) before the lamination in register.

Multi-ply labels / coupons

Partial silicone and adhesive applicationPattern adhesive and silicone applicationsopen new opportunities to the labelmakers such as: adhesive spots, couponsand special forms.

Linerless labelsPressure sensitive material without a liner can easily be produced on the Cohesio.
