The Heilbronn-based die-maker Marbach has achieved outstanding success with its product ‘pure edge’. With this technology, corrugated packaging with flawless visible edges can be produced. Because this special technology has many other advantages, it is becoming increasingly popular in the market.
The use of pure edge protects the cutting tips of the cutting rules. For converters, this means a significantly longer lifecycle for their cutting-dies as well as better cutting results. In addition, the rule joints are stabilised in narrow places or in circumferential die-cutting so that no unwanted nicks occur. This improves the quality of the packaging. Another application: pure edge can be used as a replacement for the functional rubbering of a cutting-die. Compared to a tool equipped with functional rubbering, it permits die-cutting using relatively low cutting pressure. This protects and ensures a long lifecycle for the tool.
Marketing Manager Tina Dost, said, “Packaging must be beautiful. We have developed pure edge to ensure that the visible edges of corrugated packaging also have an attractive appearance. With this technology, angel hair on the edges of packaging is a thing of the past. The use of pure edge has shown that this technology creates many more important advantages for our customers.”
