“Darsail” manufactures embossing rollers (embossing rolls, cylinders, drums) for different types of packaging and embossing equipment used in different industries.

Manufactured parts are dimensioned up to 1100 mm of total length and 450 mm of diameter.

Embossing equipment can be either “standalone” or embedded into different machinery. The company specialists have a wide experience in upgrading the existing equipment in order to integrate embossing with the process of manufacturing.

For example, in the cigarette industry it is usually used the embossing unit embedded into packaging equipment. In this case the embossing process serves multiple purposes, specifically:

• Enhances the “flexibility” of the material which is important during packaging.

• Improves the appearance.

• Protects against faking.

Let’s consider each of the abovementioned purposes.

FLEXIBILITY.

This is the most important property of the material during packaging of cigarettes. The point is that several cigarettes are bound together like one “pocket” and such “pocket” is formed by the embossed material. If the material is not flexible enough and straightens during packaging, it will cause a significant reject rate increase (damaged cigarettes). Modern materials, such as foil, metallized paper, paper and plastic, can consist of layers that have good “memory” and hardly can be embossed. Thus, it is difficult to emboss such materials by standard rollers with pyramid-shaped teeth. In 2005 “Darsail” specialists developed rollers with sphenoid teeth that deal with this problem successfully. Such teeth are otherwise referred to as 2DC (2 direction catching factor) due to the unique properties of teeth structure consisting in rollers interlocking in two directions: axial and radial. Sphenoid teeth can be of different shape, but the most important is that such teeth interact only at the points of edges intersection. This very interaction ensures the perfect embossing of materials with good “memory”.

APPEARANCE.

Since ancient times it has been known that embossing, being one of the most expensive types of processing, provides incredible appearance of the material. Embossing ensures the following: voluminosity and effects of light, change in tactile perception and visual attraction. Logos are applied to uniformly embossed surface everywhere, whether it is chocolate or chewing gum, cigarettes or packages of butter. The most difficult thing during this process is to develop a high-quality logo and place it on the finished “product”. Designers often wonder what it will look like and how can you touch it. In fact, it is impossible to perceive tactually through a computer screen. “Darsail” has a wide experience in optimization of customer’s logos for the purposes of customization. If customization tasks are too difficult we can make sample embossing.

PROTECTION.

Paper money, coins, bills... It may be said that together with advent of money there have been counterfeiters who appeared as well! Orlov printing and intaglio are embossing-based printing technologies that ensure the protection of securities to this day. Since the development of markets and transport communications the issue of fake products has become an urgent problem all over the world. The most of manufacturers are protecting or about to protect their brands. Through mass media we know that counterfeiters are trying to fake everything. The counterfeit protection developed and offered by “Darsail” is based on embossing as well. For unique properties of this product refer to section 3D Photo Embossing. We are continuously developing and offering to our customers the innovations in the field of protection of their products. We believe that this trend is very important and upcoming.

During production “Darsail” uses only its own developments. This helps us to be different from other companies and to manufacture the products that meet our customers’ requirements.

“Darsail” has its own precision equipment which allows for materializing the most challenging “design” ideas of our customers using packaging materials.

Thus, “Darsail” being a relatively young company has positioned itself as one of the leading manufacturers on the market of embossing rollers.
