We are a joint venture representing two premier European machinery brands for the printing and label industry, Gietz AG and Vinfoil.
We have 2 primary areas of focus:
1) Helping customers determine the best foil process for their business.
2) Helping customers make more money through paperboard tray forming.
Ever been curious about the secret behind stunning foil prints? ✨
The trick is in a process called "cold foiling", in which cold foil is applied to the surface first, with CYMK colors added later.
It's actually the cold foil itself that gives off a holographic or iridescent appearance.

We take you back to drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies 2024!
Gietz AG was represented with two machines in hall 3.
The Gietz FSA 870 Compact was presented at the Univacco Technology Inc. booth, producing impressive embossed sheets in action - a real highlight for the visitors.
At the Gietz booth, we also presented the Gietz HTF 940 tray forming machine, which formed and glued Two-Compartment-Trays and Doggy-Bags.
The blanks produced from paper by Holmen Iggesund and printed and die-cut by PAWI Group Packaging Schweiz AG were formed and glued on the Gietz HTF 940 with the help of W. H. Leary Co., Inc.'s gluing units.
We presented the visitors with embossed hand soap packaging that had previously been produced on the Gietz FSA 1060 Foil Commander using foils from LEONHARD KURZ Stiftung & Co.KG embossing tools from Hinderer + Mühlich.
We also introduced the new Illucode Foil & Workflow Optimization Software to many interested visitors.
Visitors to the MABEG Systems GmbH booth in Hall 9 were able to find out all about their products such as sheet feeders and reel sheeters.
A heartfelt thank you to all our valued partners!
We sincerely appreciate your collaboration for drupa 2024 and beyond.
We would also like to extend our thanks to all attendees and representatives who visited us. It was a great pleasure! 🚀

New software “Illucode” for foil and workflow optimization introduced at drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies. Comprehensive resource transparency and comparability in the hot stamping process at the touch of a button?
The Illucode software reliably calculates foil and production costs of a hot foil stamping artwork using only PDF data. It's comprehensive total cost analysis takes into account not only the foil consumption and its price, but moreover factors in the production speed, machine utilization, labour costs and more. This unique monetary representation of a hot stamping artwork enables a reliable comparability and always delivers the optimal foiling solution.
See the video to find out how it works: https://lnkd.in/gmAaUerj
You have not had the chance to get a live demo yet?
Come by at our DRUPA booth in Hall 3 A61 and learn all about how Illucode can help you save material, straighten your workflow and increase performance.

Compose your complete Cold transfer module in 4 steps!
We want to take you through all the 4 steps that will lead to the perfect choice for a Cold Transfer module.
Missed our previous LinkedIn post? No worries, catch up here: https://lnkd.in/e3GZpKyD
STEP 1: THE BASE UNIT
In our last post, we introduced the foundational element of your Cold Transfer module. While it might suffice for some decisions, we believe in offering a comprehensive view with multiple steps.
STEP 2: FOIL SAVING
Saving on foil is paramount for efficiency and sustainability. Explore various foil-saving techniques tailored to maximize your ROI without compromising quality.
STEP 3: LIFTING DEVICE
As we continue our journey to the perfect Cold Transfer module, let's explore the critical role of lifting devices. The efficiency and effectiveness of these devices can make a significant difference in your production process. We offer three advanced lifting devices: ORM, ALUS, and ALUS2, each with distinct advantages, high safety standards and changeover times to meet your needs.
-ORM: Overhead Reel Manipulator
Our ORM system ensures reliable operation with a changeover time of 15-20 minutes for a foil change. ORM sets the standard for dependable performance, balancing efficiency and reliability.
-ALUS: Automatic Loading and Unloading System
For enhanced efficiency, consider our ALUS (Advanced Lifting Unit System). When paired with our Foil Saving Configuration (FSC), which we will talk about in STEP 4, ALUS reduces changeover time to just 6 minutes, which is automated. This system is designed to keep your production agile and responsive to varying demands.
-ALUS2: Double Automatic Loading and Unloading System
At the forefront of our lifting device technology, the ALUS2 offers a changeover time of just 3 minutes. ALUS2 is engineered for maximum productivity and minimal disruption, making it the perfect choice for operations where every second counts.

We were delighted to connect with Jeff Besnick and his McLean Packaging Corporation team at the Gietz AG booth at drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies. Gietz showcased their digital workflow and innovative software, “Illucode,” to save material, straighten hot foil stamping workflow, and increase performance by calculating foil and machine costs using only PDF data.

We had a great demonstration by Chris Leary at #drupa to learn more about Vinfoil's patented MFU technology! Chris demonstrated how their technology saves printers up to 85% of foil usage by redirecting a single narrow ribbon multiple times across a sheet, using what would otherwise be wasted material. Chris also described the efficiency savings: when a foil ribbon runs out, their changeover time is only 6 minutes (compared to 15+ minutes of other systems).
