The new standard: Reducing CO₂ emmisions, using less solvents and lowering power consumption. Effective environmental solutions and economical resource-saving printing are the most important factors in a modern packaging printing press. The packaging industry strives to achieve highest quality printing and greater efficiency. The modular packaging printing system VARIOMAN by manroland Goss offers tailor-made solutions. The sophisticated web offset technology serves substrates from film to cardboard according to customer requirements.

• Highest printing quality combined with a constant, stable and high printing speed, all while maintaining low production costs.
• State-of-the-art technology and high-level automation enables optimized processes, higher sustainability and lowers the time-to-market.
• Make full use of the sustainability advantages with rotary web offset solutions made by manroland Goss.

From 19 to 26 October 2022, manroland Goss web systems GmbH will be at booth B40 in hall 4 at K-Messe 2022, demonstrating that efficient and sustainable printing of packaging using the offset process is the new standard. All interested parties and printing enthusiasts have the opportunity to inspect a printing unit of the VARIOMAN f:line up close and speak with our experts.

VARIOMAN f:line, c:line or b:line – a solution for every substrate

Whether its film, cardboard or book printing – the VARIOMAN packaging printing equipment offers the right solution for every substrate. The manroland Goss flagship model LITHOMAN, dominates the high-quality and high-volume illustration and book printing market worldwide.  The VARIOMAN combines comprehensive web offset printing expertise with 175 years of company history and thousands of installed systems. The VARIOMAN models have been specially developed for packaging printing and are designed to meet the new environmental and recycling requirements.

VARIOMAN f:line – the fitting solution for flexible packaging printing

f:line specialises in printing on film and paper from 10 to 300 μm. Depending on  customer requirements, it can be individually designed for a wide variety of web widths and running speeds of up to 400 m/min. One of the biggest advantages is the integrated offset sleeve technology, which allows a broad production variety through fast production changes, even for small runs. Added to this are fast, connected and powerful processes, reducing waste and production costs while maintaining the highest possible print quality. The established PECOM-X drive, operation and workflow management system with integrated system control ensures cost-effectiveness and high productivity.

Rotary web offset technology convinces in terms of sustainibility

The offset printing process performs better than other printing processes in terms of sustainability for several reasons. For example, there is significantly less wasted ink because printing units do not have to be constantly cleaned. The precise register-true printing of the VARIOMAN offset solution forms the basis for high-quality printing with standardized 6- or 7-color systems (ECG = Expanded Color Gamut). This completely eliminates the need for changing ink color and the associated washing agent and ink consumption. This also allows significantly shorter setup times. CO₂ emissions are reduced by using electron beam inks, which do not require conventional hot air drying and thus require less energy consumption. Big plus: 100% solvent-free printing inks contribute to explosion protection and exhaust air purification.
