Introducing advanced digital embellishment capabilities for premium uncoated materials, unlocking endless possibilities and new creative opportunities for designers and printers
Scodix, the pioneer and global leader in digital embellishment, and Winter & Company, the global supplier of innovative and sustainable cover materials for the publishing industry, today announced a groundbreaking partnership poised to transform the premium publishing industry. The collaboration combines Scodix's innovative digital embellishment technology with Winter & Company's high-quality book cover materials, opening new creative possibilities for global brands.
The partnership will be showcased at Hunkeler Innovation Days 2025 later this month, where Scodix will demonstrate its ability to embellish directly on a wide range of Winter & Company's premium materials, including leather and silk, and Winter & Company's wide range of branded substrates, including Skivertex®, Napura®, Corvon®, and Wibalin®. An advancement that allows for enhanced tactile and visual effects on premium products, catering to the growing demand for unique and sustainable solutions.
Scodix's Ultra 2500 Series and Ultra 6500 Series presses offer direct embellishment on an expanded selection of premium, uncoated substrates. The unique Multi-layer Enhancement (MLE) process applies multiple Scodix layers in a single pass, producing rich, vibrant effects while maintaining a smooth texture. The first layer acts as a selective micro-coating primer on uncoated substrates, preparing the surface for subsequent embellishments like Scodix Foil™ or Scodix Sense™. This multi-layer flexibility unlocks limitless creative potential.
Since 1892, Winter & Company has systematically developed and supplied new, pioneering products. Many of their brands, like Skivertex®, Wibalin®, Corvon®, and Napura®, have established themselves as industry standards and symbolize their experience with creative cover materials.
"This partnership with Winter & Company unlocks a new era of creative possibilities for premium book producers. Combining Scodix's cutting-edge digital embellishment technology with Winter & Company's exquisite range of uncoated substrates empowers brands to create truly exceptional products. The ability to print and embellish directly onto materials like leather and silk opens doors to tactile and visual experiences that just weren't possible until now, allowing producers to elevate their offerings and captivate consumers with unique and sustainable solutions." said Franz Repp, EMEA President, Scodix.
“At Winter & Company, we highly value collaboration with innovative partners like Scodix. We are excited to see companies exploring new, forward-thinking solutions that bring added value to our customers.”
The collaboration between Scodix and Winter & Company marks a significant step forward in premium production. It empowers brands to create visually stunning, tactilely engaging, and environmentally conscious books that elevate their products and captivate consumers. Attendees at Hunkeler Innovation Days 2025 are invited to witness the transformative potential of this partnership firsthand.
