Combining all of these processes inline will dramatically improve a user’s productivity and increase efficiency. The Duopress 106FCSB features improved foil control systems that have been designed to ensure accurate foil feeding and create greater foil saving benefits. In addition, the new Duopress 106FCSB neatly and conveniently stacks the finished products in a pile, which prevents the products from being damaged, and saves employee time and effort.
