Not sure if the DLF-350L or a laser finishing system is right for your workflow? A labeling specialist can help you choose the right solution.
What is the Afinia DLF-350L used for?
The DLF-350L is used to finish printed label rolls by laminating, digitally cutting custom shapes, removing matrix waste, slitting, and rewinding finished labels—all in a single workflow.
What makes the dual plotter system different?
The DLF-350L uses two synchronized cutting plotters to divide the workload, reducing movement and significantly increasing cutting efficiency—often achieving over 2x the speed of single-plotter systems.
How does digital die cutting work?
The system uses cutting plotter technology with optical registration to accurately cut labels without physical dies, allowing for instant design changes and eliminating tooling costs.
Why choose the DLF-350L over smaller finishers?
The DLF-350L is built for higher throughput and wider label formats, making it ideal for growing production environments that need more speed without moving to full laser finishing systems.
What materials can it handle?
- Paper label stocks
- Polypropylene (BOPP) labels
- Synthetic and film materials
- Laminated label constructions
How does it improve production efficiency?
The dual plotter system increases throughput while maintaining precision, allowing businesses to handle more jobs, reduce turnaround time, and keep label production in-house.
What makes the DLF-350L different?
