Patent ID: 10336567

Abstract:
A manufacturing system for manufacturing folding boxes or labels from a web of printing material, includes a web unwinding device, a flat-bed diecutting and/or stamping/embossing unit disposed downstream thereof, and a product delivery disposed downstream thereof. The flat-bed diecutting and/or stamping/embossing unit is deactivatable and at least one rotary processing module for processing the web of printing material, in particular a rotary diecutting module, is provided between the flat-bed diecutting and/or stamping/embossing unit and the product delivery. This construction of the manufacturing system advantageously allows the planar elements to be processed either by the flat-bed diecutting and/or stamping/embossing unit or by a rotary diecutting module. Thus, the manufacturing system may be operated at high productivity. A method for operating the manufacturing system is also provided.
