Substrates thickness and type

Highcon Euclid customers have produced work on substrates beyond the machines initial specifications:

• N-flute
• 0.25 mm (10 pt.) substrate
• Metallic coated board

Labels and stickers

• Self-adhesive labels and stickers are proving to be successful applications offering new substrate cutting possibilities for converters and printers.

Reverse Scoring

• The separation of the two processes of cutting and creasing on the Euclid allows vastly increased flexibility, and the creation of reverse scoring with no need for additional equipment or complex dies.

• Partial cutting depth control
• Sharp angled cut control
• Individual box personalization

Highcon added that these new tools and features are enabling Highcon Euclid users and their customers to expand product offering, streamline workflow and develop new applications, while the extended distribution network is taking these benefits into new regions.
