Fedrigoni Launches Range Of Open & Close Labels Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives has launched a new range of Open & Close products, including polypropylene and polyethylene films with a removable adhesive for high tear resistance, clean removability, good conformability, and reliability, said the company. The new range is designed for hand wipes, baby wipes, cosmetic wipes, household wipes and more - making opening easier, and ensuring secure product closure. ‘The latest market trends suggest adopting a mo- no-material approach (PE or BOPP) for both the flex packs and the Open & Close labels,” said Me- lissa Harton, Marketing Manager for North America at Fedrigoni. To make semi-rigid Open & Close labels more similar to rigid plastic lids, Fedrigoni Self-Adhesives has developed a patent that allows the label to re- main open during use to facilitate the removal of the wet wipes from the flexible packaging. XSYS Introduces Flexo Solution Finder XSYS has launched Flexo Solution Finder, a new online tool that helps printers and platemakers find solutions to help them optimize production and in- crease Overall Equipment Efficiency (OEE) in the prepress department and in the press room. Tailored to each market segment, Flexo Solution Finder will reportedly guide users to the optimal printing plate or combination of plate, equipment, and surface screening software, from the compre- hensive XSYS portfolio. The tool guides users through a series of simple steps. First, they choose their active segment(s): flexible packaging, tag & label, corrugated pre-print or corrugated post-print, before identifying them- selves as a printer (with or without in-house plate- making) or as a repro house/trade shop. Once that has been established, the next step is to choose the ink type and then the substrate, before honing in on the specific area of concern, whether it is costs, print quality, productivity, or sustainabil- ity (including health & safety). Customers can find the answer to a plethora of problems, such as how to avoid plate swelling, ink filling and trail edge void; reduce press downtime or avoid waste caused by dirty highlight dots; min- imize complexity in the process overall; improve sustainability by eliminating solvents; lower ink and plate waste; improve productivity and efficiency.
