German converter installs Linoprint L from Heidelberg

VollherbstDruck from Endingen am Kaiserstuhl in the south-west of Germany is the first German wine label printer to invest in a Linoprint L from Heidelberg.

The converter specializes in the production of fine wine labels that are also in demand beyond Germany's borders. Its portfolio also includes wet glue and self-adhesive labels for champagne, sparkling wines, spirits, confectionery and tobacco.

The Linoprint L is a drop-on-demand system for economical, high-quality printing of short to medium label runs and applications with variable content.

VollherbstDruck has been working with a 6-color Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 74 with coating unit for several years and complemented this with a 4-color Speedmaster XL 75 press with coating unit in 2011, the company’s 90th anniversary. The print shop also uses a Polar cutter and several Gallus reel-fed presses, including a Gallus TCS 250, a modular offset press with direct servo drive that can be configured and retro-fitted at will.

‘We use the Linoprint L to imprint data about the location, grape variety and year on conventionally pre-printed, finished and die-cut labels,’ explained Andreas Wohnlich, CEO. ‘A further reason for choosing the Linoprint L is the energy we save through UV LED fixing, which delivers better results than previous imprint solutions.’
