Proven Solution for Narrow-Web Embellishment: The Gietz ROFO 450 ECO is established in the market
Gossau, August 2025 – Since its introduction, the Gietz ROFO 450 ECO has established itself as a reliable and cost-efficient solution for heat transfer (hot stamping) in the narrow-web sector. Designed as a core model for the label and packaging industry, the ROFO 450 ECO today meets the high demands of numerous customers worldwide when it comes to quality, flexibility, and efficiency.
The machine is based on the proven Gietz flat-bed stamping principle, combining high stamping force with a large stamping area of 430 x 610 mm. This makes it ideally suited for demanding applications in hot foil stamping, embossing, and their combination.
The ROFO 450 ECO is designed to process a wide variety of materials, including self-adhesive substrates, paper, board, plastic, and composite substrates. With speeds of up to 120 m/min or 18,000 strokes per hour, it offers high productivity while adapting flexibly to the requirements of modern label and packaging producers. The high pressure of up to 100 tons ensures reliable and consistent force transmission – even for complex designs and at high production speeds.
Thanks to its dynamic foil transport with up to two foil feeds and a 90-degree rotatable foil unwind unit, the ROFO 450 ECO allows foil to be applied either in substrate web direction or transversal across. The ROFO unit can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines or operated as a stand-alone solution with its own unwind and rewind. Thanks to its modular design, it can be flexibly adapted to specific customer requirements – even later down the road.
Another advantage: the ergonomic design of the ROFO 450 ECO ensures short set-up times, easy operation, and high repeat accuracy.
Equipped with the next-generation Gietz operating interface, the ROFO 450 ECO is ready for Industry 4.0: touch-optimized, intuitive to use, and with interfaces for future digital services such as process data collection, or cloud connectivity. A true asset when it comes to training, safety, and productivity.
Today, the ROFO 450 ECO is in daily use at a wide range of customers worldwide. Its strong market acceptance proves: the combination of proven flat-bed technology, practice-oriented design, and an attractive price-performance ratio strikes exactly the right chord in the industry.
