Customized to
end-user performance requirements and built with Tresu’s 30 years of
press building and engineering expertise, the Concept offers a flexo
platform in 900 mm, 1,100 mm and 1,400 mm widths. In addition, it
provides the possibility for seamless integration of processes, such as
variable data, gravure, screen, hot and cold foil and finishing,
providing an end-to-end solution for high-value packaging. Running at
speeds of up to 600 metres a minute, the Concept can convert substrates
up to 600 micron thickness, including paper, board, aluminium foil and
flexible packaging.
Allan Sander, vice-president of Tresu Solutions,
says, “China’s packaging converters face growing demand for shorter runs
as well as high quality from brand-owners and retailers. In-line flexo
provides the most effective way of offering service flexibility while
maintaining the competitive edge in terms of productivity, waste
reduction, footprint and ergonomics.”
