The ideal solution for flexible packaging printing
The mid web press Athena™, developed by GIDUE, is the ideal response to the new trends in the packaging market as it represents a concrete alternative to large web presses and solvent printing featuring an unprecedented level of efficiency and standardisation.
The digitally-controlled, gearless, mid-web press GIDUE Athena is available in widths ranging from 530 to 730mm (21" to 29") and is well-known all over the world for providing top-class performances and extremely high productivity in UV flexo printing. Today the press is available with a package of options, including the use of specific low migration inks to ensure final food end-product safety and greater performance in UV curing and adhesion.
Athena, thanks to its in-line, safe, solvent-free and extremely flexible approach, heightens the advantages of the use of UV technology. The addition of UV TIME!™ to the Intelligence-controlled mid-web press Athena™ has helped flexography grow far beyond any expectation, thus creating a new trend which in turn takes UV curing to the highest performance limits and as such, represents the first, most complete answer to the needs of brand owners in the packaging industry.
Today, GIDUE's Athena certainly represents the most sustainable UV flexo solution for printing flexible packaging and shrink sleeves for the food, beverage and cosmetics sectors, providing high flexibility and productivity in short and medium runs. For more information, please visit: www.gidue.com
