Beauty Packaging Magazine - July 2019
YOUR OWN PST LINE I
The World’s First In-line 3D Sputtering Coating System
PST Line I is an entirely self-contained system for applying a stable, high-quality varnish and metal coating to packaging items in-house with only one operator. Its robotic spray works on-demand accurately, using less varnish and producing fewer rejects, making it highly economical and eco-friendly.
FEATURES
Go Where No Others Have Gone Before
At long last, there is a modern, fully-automated alternative to traditional manual varnishing and metallization processes. Efficient and eco-friendly, the Tapematic PST Line I is a revolution in manufacturing.
