As the holographic hot stamping technology is one of the safer and more successful anti-counterfeiting measures currently being certified worldwide, the fully automatic hot stamping machines produced by companies such as BOBST, GIETZ, Steuer, Kurz, and Shanghai Yahua are all equipped with Holographic hot stamping function. Moreover, the automatic hologram hot stamping die-cutting machine produced by Yahua Company has also been used in Yunnan Jiujiu Group and has produced good results. From the current domestic automatic hot stamping die-cutting machine compared with the products of internationally renowned companies, in terms of functions, it is basically equivalent to the machines in Europe and Japan, but from the aspect of performance, it also exists with the products of international famous companies such as German BOBST. A big gap. The gap between Japan and other countries is relatively small, but the gap is still obvious. Mainly reflected in the speed, accuracy, stability, reliability and other aspects.

At the DRUPA exhibition, more than 10 manufacturers exhibited nearly 20 automatic folding and sticking machines. Among them, BOBST Group has exhibited two sets. One MEDIA100IIIA-2 has many additional functions, the speed can reach 360M/min, and it has an automatic box-packing machine and a carton pre-delivery mechanism to form a complete automatic folding-adhesive box. Machine production line. The other ALPINA-110 also has a variety of additional functions for automatic folding and bonding production of boxes in boxes. Its higher speed, up to 450M/min. The adjustment in the demonstration is very convenient, smooth in operation and very smooth in high speed.

The JAGENBERG Group also showed two different sizes of automatic folding and sticking machines, the DIANAPRO114 and PRO600.

The overall development trend of the automatic folding and sticking box machine is high-speed, multi-functional and automatic collection and packing. The products of several well-known manufacturers such as BOBST, JAGENBERG, VEGA, etc. were very popular among users at the exhibition, and this trend was also reflected. Compared with the products of the internationally renowned automatic folding and sticking box machine manufacturers, the domestically-made automatic folding and sticking box machines still have a large gap in terms of functional diversity and high-speed smoothness. In the future, domestically-made self-adhesive gluing machine will also need to make efforts to improve the working speed and stability under the premise of ensuring basic functions.

Looking ahead to the post-Drupa 2000 post-press processing and packaging technology, traditional printing and finishing, binding, processing, and packaging will be developed in the direction of humanization, automation, high efficiency, and intensive. The printed products will be more exquisite and the machines will be more stable. Under the centralized control of computer systems, the automated printing, processing, and packaging production lines will become mainstream products. In some professional printing and packaging fields, we will see that a machine is a factory and a factory is a machine. The new concept of the "printing city" and "printing factory" proposed by Mann Rolland will become a reality.

It can be predicted that with the rapid development of computer networks, the printing company's business philosophy will also have great changes. Many printing companies will no longer need large-scale printing equipment, and ultra-large-scale printing centers will appear in traffic and information-developed areas. The products and services printed by the manufacturers will be remotely printed and processed remotely through the network, and the quality and cycle of the printing process will be better guaranteed.
