Ultimate Packaging, a leading flexible packaging manufacturer based in Grimsby, UK, has commissioned an additional BOBST 20SIX CS CI flexo press, which was installed during June 2018.
The press features eight colors with a downstream unit for film coating. It has a web width of 1300 mm and a speed of 500 m/min in addition to numerous special features dedicated to meet Ultimate Packaging’s stringent requirements in terms of high quality output and press efficient operation.
Ultimate Packaging has grown its flexo printing operations with BOBST for a number of years and it currently operates four 20SIX flexo presses.
“We bought our first 20SIX in 2012 after it was presented at drupa that same year to boost our short run capability,” said Jon McCarthy, operations director, Ultimate Packaging “With unique features like the smartGPS offline register and pressure setting we achieved major improvements in start-up waste and turnaround time and could serve our customers better with smaller orders than before.”
Ultimate Packaging was impressed with its first BOBST 20SIX press’ performance and three more 20SIX CS have followed in the ensuing five years.
Ultimate supplies 90% of its packaging within the food industry with 70% falling into the fresh produce sector. Ultimate has developed strong relationships with brands and retailers in the UK. The purchase of the new 20SIX will allow them to continue to be responsive to their customers with flexible lead times.
