Vivid Laminating Technologies will launch a brand-new cutting system at drupa

Building on the success of its patented Veloblade technology, Vivid Laminating Technologies will launch the Veloton cutting system at drupa.
Developed and manufactured in the UK, the patented Veloton will be one of the highlights of the Vivid booth and dramatically enhances cutting speeds by ten times.
Lewis Evans, director at Vivid Laminating Technologies, comments: “Not only will this be of interest to new users, but the Veloton is also retrofittable to any of our already installed Veloblade machines including the Volta and Nexus systems.
Alongside demonstrating how the Veloton will enable users to enhance their cutting speed in a single pass, Vivid will be showing the new patented VeloTaper taping system as well as the multi-patented Easymount Hybrid Laminator with unique Hover technology.
The latter was launched at FESPA 2023 and incorporates both traditional roll-fed laminator and flatbed applicators.
Bruce Cozens, export director of Vivid Laminating Systems, comments: “Our objective is to showcase the innovative solutions we’ve been working on. Additionally, we’re keen to re-connect with our esteemed customers and partners, while meeting new partners.
“At Vivid, our aim has always been the same, to add value beyond print, advancing our systems and staying ahead is our main goal. Our team collaborates closely with our customers and partners, ensuring that every development enhances their existing operations and makes their businesses better.”
Showcasing three new patented innovations at drupa, Vivid aims to show visitors how automated processes can elevate their businesses.
Drupa 2024 will take place from May 28th to June 7th in the Dusseldorf Exhibition Centre, Germany.
