Embossing development
Thanks to Engraving Solutions and Roll-Tec, we are the only tissue machinery manufacturer capable of offering all engraving technologies: mechanical, chemical, mixed and tool-based and direct laser engraving for non-metal surfaces and small-sized rolls or limited-size sleeves. We produce rolls for single or double Rubber-to-Steel embossers, DESL or nested, Point-to-Point, Deco-Embossing, steel to steel, match to steel, Fusion or other advanced techniques. We offer our customers complete solutions from the study of the embossing pattern to the production of trial samples and the supply of engraved rolls in order to launch new products, improve existing ones, venture into new markets and capitalize on new business opportunities.

Pilot trials - Run tests under realistic operating conditions
We offer a wide range of pilot lines in order to produce prototypes for evaluation purposes as well as simulate and test product performance at real operating conditions with the different winding technologies available on the market (3 or 4 rolls). Also, we can produce product samples to perform panel and market tests with dedicated production slots. Our prototyping capabilities are available worldwide for all our technologies, roll and fold products, including the most innovative ones like Solid and Solid+ rolls.
