Vinfoil NEX

At Vinfoil, we believe cold transfer should be accessible without compromising on performance. With the introduction of the Vinfoil NEX, we bring our proven technology into a compact, efficient, and easy-to-integrate solution.

The NEX is designed as a smart entry-level module, lowering the threshold to start with cold transfer. It combines simplicity with the core strengths of Vinfoil: reliable performance, consistent quality, and remarkable foil savings. Engineered for seamless integration into both new and existing presses, the NEX focuses on what truly matters in daily production.

Its compact design and streamlined configuration make installation straightforward and operation intuitive. At the heart of the NEX is Vinfoil’s patented MFU technology, enabling significant foil savings and a fast return on investment. By optimizing foil usage while maintaining high print quality, the NEX delivers immediate value where it counts most. Rather than offering extensive configurability, the NEX is purpose-built: a well-balanced solution that combines essential functionality with efficiency and ease of use. With the Vinfoil NEX, entering the world of cold transfer has never been simpler: a smart investment that delivers performance, sustainability, and profitability from day one.

Direct Foil Drives (DFD)

The NEX is outfitted with Direct Foil Drives (DFD). With the DFD roller, the foil web speed is controlled to match the exact speed of the printing press. This ensures perfect tension of the film web and optimal rewinding. Due to the DFD rollers, the cylinder gap has no influence on the foil loop and tension, thus improving the print quality

Foilsaving

The Vinfoil NEX brings MFU® technology into a compact and efficient platform. Equipped with MFU® 1 deck as standard, NEX allows printers to reuse the foil web and reduce consumption without requiring the full flexibility of an Optima configuration. This makes NEX a strong entry-level solution for printers who want controlled cold production with intelligent foil saving in a smaller, cost-effective machine concept.

Multi-Reel Foil Saving Option

One of our unique features that allows you to easily reach foil savings up to 50% (Compared to full web production). You can use from one single reel to a maximum of 10 reels (min. width of 100 mm) to cover even the smallest spots during production. No matter if you choose to run a single or multi-reel production, you can always use 3″ cores ensuring a perfect rewinding result.

with our modular cold transfer system

At Vinfoil, we’ve revolutionized the way we approach cold transfer printing. Instead of a range of modules, we now off er a fully configurable module: the Vinfoil Optima. Engineered to integrate perfectly into both existing and new printing setups, this innovative module is crafted to meet the specific demands of the printing industry. It excels in many areas: it delivers high quality, fits easily into different printing setups, and is simple to use. It is unique in its ability to meet any specific need and adapt as those needs change.

frequently asked Questions

Using a standard offset plate, an image is printed onto a substrate by the use of a tacky adhesive. Foil spools from an unwind and is nipped to a substrate. The aluminium particles from the cold foil layer are released from the polyester film and transferred to the substrate by the tack of the glue.
An image with a bright surface is created on the sheet. Foil that does not adhere to the adhesive remains on the 12um film, and waste is directed to a rewind spool or to a shredder (Vinfoil Infigo systems).

Because the adhesive is applied like a conventional ink, no expensive stamping die has to be created. Once printed, the surface of cold foil images may be overprinted and varnished.
  • Enables full-surface sheet decoration at high speeds
  • High-speed applications up to 20,000 sheets per hour overprinting can be done inline and offline
  • Eliminates the need for engraved hot stamping dies
  • Allows use of standard offset printing plates, rollers, washing agents, rubber blankets for applying the adhesive
  • Using multiple parallel-running, narrow foil rolls, the foil consumption can be minimized and made more economical
  • Job changeovers, with or without foil, can be performed in just minutes
  • No need to apply opaque white – the foil is simply omitted in the relevant areas
  • Outstanding flatness of the output – optimal further processing
  • Speed-to-market potential – very short production times
  • Ideal for small print runs and frequent job changeovers

Multiple Foil Use (MFU) is Vinfoil’s patented foil saving technology.

By guiding the foil web back into the printing nip (after transferring parts of the metallic layer for the first time) a foil web can be used up to 3 times during the same job and foil savings up to 85% can be reached. (Compared to full web and laminated board, depending on the job.)
