Hot stamping or foil printing is one of the most cost-effective decoration techniques for branding or customising a packaging component. Hot stamping produces a luxurious appearance and brings a strong value-add to a glass product.<\/span><\/p>\n Direct printing on glass is a rising business. More and more, ceramic glass pastes for oven baking are being replaced by organic silk screen inks, notably UV curing systems. <\/span>Ultraviolet curing (commonly known as UV curing) is\u00a0a photochemical process in which high-intensity ultraviolet light is used to instantly cure or \u201cdry\u201d inks, coatings or adhesives. UV formulations are liquid monomers and oligomers mixed with a small percent of photoinitiators, and then exposed to UV energy.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kscope.co.za\/synchron\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/wine-bottle-labelling-hot-stamped-directly-onto-the-glass.jpg” alt=”Lightweight and transparent roof structure in STFE fabric looks like glass” title_text=”wine-bottle-labelling-hot-stamped-directly-onto-the-glass” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”3px|20px|3px|0px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”|300|||||||” header_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”20px|20px|20px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px|||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||20px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ header_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0.03em” header_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0.03em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Among other things, organic inks are\u00a0based on plant-based binder systems. This makes them more easily bio-degradable than classic mineral inks, and therefore better for the environment and printing facilities.<\/span> The benefits of organic inks consist in a considerably lower energy input, higher colour stability and higher gloss level. Along with that, there is an increasing demand for high-quality metallic finishing by means of hot stamping, as an alternative to those very expensive genuine metals or optically less attractive metallic inks.<\/span><\/p>\n LUXOR\u00ae\/ALUFIN\u00ae SGU made by KURZ is the new finishing solution that is hot stamped onto glass surfaces by means of a UV silk screen adhesive. At first, the requested design is applied with a silk screen adhesive onto the glass body, and UV cured. Subsequently, LUXOR\u00ae\/ALUFIN\u00ae SGU is applied onto the adhesive in roll-on stamping by means of a heated silicone wheel. Up-and down stampings by means of form dies onto full-surface dip or spray coated glass bodies are possible, yet less common with glass decorations, due to the relatively high substrate tolerances.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”|||20px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”|300|||||||” header_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|0px|20px|20px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”0px||20px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ header_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0.03em” header_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0.03em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kscope.co.za\/synchron\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Labelling-option-glass-bottles.jpg” alt=”Large span conservatory clad with STFE fabric provides a lightweight and transparent roof” title_text=”Labelling-option-glass-bottles” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”90%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”3px|0px|3px|20px|true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|tablet” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”|300|||||||” header_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”20px|0px|20px|20px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||20px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ header_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0.03em” header_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0.03em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Synchron confirms that sustainability plays a huge role in the glass decorating sector and that brands continue moving towards glass and aluminium, as well as hybrid solutions. Kurz has been focusing on sustainable solutions for decades, which is why we ensure that no foil is transferred during our embossing transfer process and that packaging finished with our solutions remains recyclable as only the thinnest decorative layers (in the nano range) are transferred. The PET film, which serves as a carrier for the coating layers, is peeled off during the transfer process and can be collected and recycled in Germany through Kurz\u2019s Recosys<\/span>\u00ae<\/span> programme to create high-quality injection moulding material.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kscope.co.za\/synchron\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Label-merlot-bottle-stamped-onto-glass.jpg” alt=”STFE fabric provides translucency and protection in large span sports stadium” title_text=”Label-merlot-bottle-stamped-onto-glass” show_bottom_space=”off” _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”89%” module_alignment=”center” custom_padding=”3px|0px|3px|20px|true|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”|300|||||||” header_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”20px|0px|20px|20px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px||0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||20px||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ header_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0.03em” header_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0.03em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Synchron emphasises that to take advantage of new opportunities as an embellishment material and technology supplier during 2022\/2023, they have to show flexibility in terms of deliverables, and in the capacity of its deliveries by learning to cope with market uncertainty and ensuring the availability of products. \u2018Consumer behaviour has become unpredictable and we need to cope with situations where demand increases by rebuilding stocks in our warehouses.\u2019 concludes sales and marketing manager, Phumzile Dlamini.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” header_font=”|300|||||||” header_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”20px|0px|20px|20px|false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px|0px|0px|false|false” custom_padding_phone=”20px||||false|false” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” header_text_shadow_style=”preset2″ header_text_shadow_horizontal_length=”0.03em” header_text_shadow_vertical_length=”0.03em” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n \u00a9 Synchron Fabrics & Foils, September 2022<\/em> [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_image=”https:\/\/kscope.co.za\/synchron\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/synchron-fabrics-and-foils-footer.jpg” background_position=”top_center” custom_padding=”65px||60px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”40px||40px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”85%” max_width=”800px” custom_padding=”0px||35px||false|false” custom_padding_tablet=”||20px||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/kscope.co.za\/synchron\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/synchron-fabrics-and-foils-quotation-mark.png” title_text=”synchron-fabrics-and-foils-quotation-mark” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Abhaya Libre||||||||” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” text_font_size=”21px” header_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” header_text_color=”#FFD830″ header_font_size=”60px” custom_margin=”||16px|||” custom_padding=”20px|215px||||” custom_padding_tablet=”|0px|||false|false” custom_padding_phone=”” custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n We\u2019re founded on a simple principle;
