Eagle Systems Inc., a US based developer and manufacturer of foil enhancement equipment, has announced that Colbert Packaging installed an Eco-Eagle Cold Foil Module on their new RMGT Ryobi V3000 press. The installation, which was completed in June, marks the very first Eco-Eagle on a Ryobi in North America.
 
Colbert Packaging Corporation, a provider of paperboard packaging solutions, installed the system to meet a growing demand for impactful and eye-catching graphics for consumer products.

“We’ve experienced a global adoption of cold foil in recent years,” said Mike King, President and CEO, Eagle Systems. “Cold Foil enables service providers to offer their clients an innovative option that transcends the demands of their most high-end customers. It gives them the ability to say ‘yes’ to more projects, with less time and money required to make it happen.”
 
According to the company, Colbert Packaging’s clientele have already begun to benefit from the installation of the Eagle Systems Cold Foil’s production capabilities to add brilliant colors and metallic accents to their printed products.
 
“The Eco-Eagle Cold Foil Module from Eagle Systems represents a vastly improved alternative to specialty inks or hot foil solutions,” noted Bill Snyder, Colbert VP of operations. “The cold foil option provides a true metallic surface, applied directly to the substrate, producing a truer look and feel of foil. And, Eagle’s custom-designed metallic fine lines, screens and gradient effects are limitless. Operating in-line with our Ryobi press, projects are finished at the press, making embellishment turnaround nearly insignificant. For the growing numbers concerned about sustainability, paperboard packaging printed, using the cold foil process, is also 100% recyclable, a valuable bonus.”
