Clondalkin Flexible Packaging lids technical manager Paul Whelan said: "Embossing is a technical requirement on all pre-cut aluminium lids and traditionally this is produced with an all-over embossing pattern.
"SMARTembossing allows a customer to choose whereabouts on the lid they have the embossing, which means they can choose to emboss the rim of the lid only, leaving the rest of the lid smooth and any graphics unaffected.
"Printing onto a smooth lid means there is no design distortion and enhances print quality."

Whelan also noted that the SMARTembosser technology can be used to de-emboss graphics on lids for logos or branding.
