Rollem Ltd Press releases

The latest innovation from Sheffield manufacturer Rollem is PhotoSlit, which has been developed in direct response to market demands for a photobook finishing system that combines high cut quality and productivity with minimum operator skills and maintenance along with the ability to change settings easily between jobs.

UK manufacturer Rollem has appointed Lyon-based Ollagnier SA as its distributor in France. Rollem has been designing and building bespoke finishing systems for 80 years and its products range from feeding, numbering, perforating, trimming and scoring systems to sophisticated lines that may require extremely accurate slitting, gluing, folding and wrapping.

Bury St. Edmund printer AbbeyHine intends to speed up the turnaround of many jobs produced at the site with the delivery in August of an Advantage finishing system from Sheffield manufacturer Rollem.  The Suffolk printer currently outsources work that requires creasing, but this was introducing a delay that was becoming unacceptable.

The scoring wheels launched at Ipex by Sheffield manufacturer Rollem have been given the thumbs up by Wirral printer Carson Print Services, which was the first UK company to test the new product when it installed the wheels on a trial basis prior to the exhibition.

Equipment that enables printers to add value to the work they produce will be high on the agenda of many visitors to Ipex 2010 and there is no doubt that the area of post press provides the greatest opportunity to increase the value of printed material.

Rollem has teamed up with Heidelberg and Sappi to produce 32,000 packs of playing cards during Ipex.  Prior to the exhibition, Heidelberg used a Speedmaster XL 105-10-P to print the cards on 285 gsm Sappi Algro Design Card, and during Ipex Rollem will use its Revolution finishing system to demonstrate how one operator can transform seamlessly printed sheets into fully wrapped decks. 

UK manufacturer Rollem has recently celebrated its 80^th anniversary with the development of several innovative finishing systems for the sheet-fed market.  However, there is nothing new in this.  The company has been involved in bespoke finishing equipment since 1929 and today it is one of the world’s leaders in this field of technology.  Breaking new barriers is an integral part of everyday life.

The upgraded Advantage, which now incorporates Rollem’s Digital Scoring System, is the ideal system for post press handling of work printed on digital presses.  This includes the production of direct mail, brochures, greetings cards, POS leaflets, post cards and photo products. 

Rollem describes JetStream as the ultimate finishing system for the digital market and when you examine the potential of the equipment, it is easy to see why.  JetStream can be used to slit, trim and slit, gutter slit, perforate, micro-perforate, score - the fastest and best crack-free scoring available - collate or stream feed and semi-slit.

Sheffield manufacturer Rollem is teaming up with Heidelberg and Sappi at Ipex 2010 to create more than 30,000 packs of playing cards. Prior to the exhibition, Heidelberg will use a Speedmaster XL 105-10-P to print the cards on 285 gsm Sappi Algro Design Card, and during Ipex Rollem will use its Revolution finishing system to demonstrate how one operator can transform seamlessly printed sheets to fully wrapped decks.
