Sheffield manufacturer Rollem is teaming up with Heidelberg and Sappi at IPEX2010 to create more than 30,000 packs of playing cards. Heidelberg (www.heidelberg.com) will use a Speedmaster XL 105-10-P to print the cards on 285 gsm Sappi Algro Design Card (www.sappi.com), and during the show, Rollem will use its Revolution finishing system to show how one operator can seamlessly transform printed sheets to fully wrapped decks.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe B2 sheets will each contain 56 cards, which includes two extra cards for the top and bottom of every pack,\u201d says Rollem managing director Stuart Murphy. \u201cThe Revolution system will automatically slit, collate, and punch the cards giving a slit accuracy of +\/- 0.05mm, which is casino quality. The king and queen might appear a little fatter than usual because the packs will be US poker size, which is wider than a standard pack typically used in the UK!<\/p>\n
\u201cHeidelberg set up the artwork for the cards using its Prinect workflow, which was highly efficient, and we\u2019re extremely grateful to both Heidelberg and Sappi for their willingness to work with us on the project. At IPEX we\u2019ll demonstrate Revolution on-line to a separate wrapping unit. The completed wrapped packs of cards will be available free of charge on all three companies\u2019 stands.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
