Short set-up times for embossing and die-cutting in two passes:

The Embossing-Register-System IV ensures greater efficiency.

Marbach provides solutions to ensure top performance for its customers.

If the embossing process is not integrated into the die-cutting process but is carried out separately, this is known as embossing and die-cutting in two passes. This is more time-consuming than an embossing process integrated into the die-cutting process. But here, too, set-up times can be minimized.
