Xeikon and MOSS have announced the joint development of a patented digital decorating system that will enable fast and cost-efficient decoration of round, conical, rectangular and square pails and containers, even in very short runs.

Xeikon's business development manager of specialty printing, Brian Heegaard, said: "We have worked closely with MOSS over the past couple of years to develop and test this breakthrough solution.

"It enables decoration of pails and containers of various shapes in two easy steps.  First, one the Xeikon web presses is used to print the exact number of transfers required for the decorating effort. Then the roll of printed transfers is fed into the MOSS Digital Decorating System to perfectly apply transfers to pails or containers using a heat transfer process. It is as simple as that, and the result is a very high quality digitally printed and applied decoration that passes all of the typical tests, including scratching, tape, water and others."
