Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about web-fed digital embellishment.

Get answers to the most common questions about KURZ web-fed systems — from substrate compatibility to machine integration.

KURZ web-fed solutions are specifically engineered for narrow-web applications, such as labels, shrink sleeves, and flexible packaging. These roll-to-roll systems allow for high-speed digital metallization and tactile effects, making them ideal for high-end spirits, cosmetics, and industrial label production where premium shelf appeal is required

The KURZ web-fed lineup features modular systems designed for different inkjet and toner-based technologies:

  • DM-UNILINER 3D: For 3D relief effects and haptic textures on a roll.
  • DM-UNILINER 2D: Optimized for high-speed, flat digital metallization.
  • DM-FLEXLINER 2D: A flexible solution for integration into various narrow-web environments.
  • DM-JETLINER 2D: Designed for efficient digital metal finishing in a single pass.

Yes, KURZ offers maximum flexibility with both inline and stand-alone configurations. While the DM-JETLINER is to be integrated in a HP Indigo press, KURZ Digital Embellishment Solutions like the DM-Flexliner are used as integrations in digital, hybrid and finishing lines. 

KURZ web-fed technology is highly versatile and supports a wide range of substrates used in the label and packaging industry. This includes unsupported films, shrink sleeves, plastic substrates, as well as coated and uncoated papers.

KURZ enables seamless, automatic job changes in web-fed printing through a fully digital, tool-free workflow that utilizes automatic job recognition and on-the-fly switching. Unlike conventional systems that require physical embossing dies or design clichés, KURZ digital units leverage software-driven job management. This allows the system to dynamically adapt to different SKUs, versioned runs, or personalized designs without stopping the press or requiring manual intervention between jobs. The result is a "zero-setup" environment that maximizes uptime and significantly reduces substrate waste during transitions between varying embellishment patterns.

By eliminating the setup time and cost associated with analog tooling, KURZ web-fed systems streamline the production process. High-speed, single-pass efficiency and the ability to run multishift operations with minimal waste make these systems a scalable solution for growing label businesses.
