Therimage Application
The decorating process called therimage involves the heat transfer of either rotogravure or screen printed images from a treated release paper to a container. The web (printed in reverse) is pre-heated at a warming platen and the image is transferred to the container by a heated silicone rubber pressure roller. Special tooling such as turrets and cylinders are required for therimage labeling. Stock turrets are available for many common bottles. Therimage labels are roto-gravure printed, yielding a low cost label with costly initial printing plate charges. Dencal labels are screen printed, yielding a higher cost label with low initial costs that is ideal for less than 100M unit runs. Both labels are applied by the same equipment and require bottle turrets and cylinders. MAVPAC has multiple Therimage lines available to support your decorating needs.

Heat-transfer preprinted labels are another cost effective decorating method for high volume packages. Labels can be printed in up to five colors, including line, half-tone, and process printing. Therimage labeling can be applied to glass, metal, and plastic containers. Therimage labels adhere to tapered, and recessed plastic containers, and also to injection-molded plastic containers.
