With its large number of printing and coating units, the highly flexible long Speedmaster XL 106 configuration is suitable for handling a wide range of packaging applications with striking coating and metallic effects as well as sustainable products – completely inline, double-sided, and in a single pass. A trend is emerging, particularly in folding carton and label printing, toward customized, long press configurations. Around half the sheetfed offset presses HEIDELBERG sells and installs go to packaging customers.The trend toward ever more sustainable packaging, such as folding cartons, is driving demand.
