KURZ’s new cold transfer solution enables more sustainable finishing

Successful product packaging immediately catches the eye and is also characterized by being embellished efficiently and sustainably. With the KPS SX+ quality, LEONHARD KURZ had introduced a cold transfer formulation at the beginning of 2021 that meets these requirements. Now, the company has further advanced the finishing and is presenting KPS SLIM PATENT PENDING.

The new cold transfer solution is suitable for decorating a wide variety of substrates. Even with recycled, difficult, or thin materials, the KPS SLIM PATENT PENDING quality generally enables high gloss, good coverage, and edge definition as well as a wide range of design options – from large-scale to delicate. Its unique feature is that at 6 μm instead of 12 μm, the PET carrier used is half as thin as its predecessor.

The new KPS SLIM PATENT PENDING enables more sustainable and efficient product finishing.

“Guided by the idea of sustainability, we wanted to retain the excellent properties of KPS SX+ and at the same time save resources by using a significantly thinner PET carrier,” explained Norbert Hell, Global Business Development Manager Cold Transfer at KURZ.

“With KPS SLIM PATENT PENDING, we use significantly thinner carrier material than with conventional products and, thanks to the lower weight, are also able to reduce CO2 consumption,” stated Dr. Ulrike Plaia, Intl. Product Manager Cold Transfer at KURZ.

The new formulation, which is patent pending, also boasts fine application properties and high processing efficiency. For example, the adhesive consumption of KPS SLIM PATENT PENDING is typically lower than that of conventional cold transfer products.

In addition, KURZ has succeeded in further increasing the cost-effectiveness for customers when using this product. As more running meters fit on one roll, the weight is reduced while the number of running meters remains the same. This means fewer roll changes are required, which ultimately leads to a reduction in downtimes and set-up times.
