MP Foil Blocking purchased the LK106MT after seeing the machine in the US

The LK106MT model runs at a top speed of 6,500 when foil blocking and 7,500 B1 sheets per hour when due cutting.

MP Foil Blocking will run the machine alongside its existing Gietz B2 foiler, two Heidelberg Platen SRA3 foilers, and a Heidelberg Cylinder SRA1 foil blocking machine.

Martin Lett, marketing manager at MP Foil Blocking, comments: “The machine arrival is perfectly timed ahead of the very busy run up to Christmas when we will be producing tens of millions of foil blocked vouchers along with foiled gift card hangers, foil blocked Christmas cards and other non-seasonal foiled items.”
