ExcelCoat ZRW

Automated Offline/Inline

Web Coating System

“Coatings applied by our H&B ZRW Web Coater show even better resistance to scuffing or rubbing. This matters a lot for catalogs and pieces that move through the mail. You want the piece to look amazing when it reaches the customer’s hands – so durability matters.”
