Multifilm Packaging
Chooses 8-color PRIMAFLEX Press
to Increase Productivity and Expand in New Markets
LINCOLN, RI, October 2008 – Multifilm Packaging's intention to invest
in their printing department
had been in discussion for some time. They recently decided on a 52”
8-color PRIMAFLEX CM flexographic press, based on W&H's reputation
as the market leader in advanced technology,
reliability of the equipment and positive feedback from
other W&H customers that Multifilm visited, confirming that the
machine performed even better than promised.
“Historically, our business has been long runs, 3 to 4 colors, and
simple print designs,” says
Chris Rogers, Vice President of Sales.
“As we have grown into other areas, we have seen more
of our business
shift into shorter runs, more colors, and more complex print designs
with screens
and process printing. We needed a printing press that
could dramatically improve our productivity
on all our current business
and provide the opportunity to expand in our newer markets by offering
8 color printing.”
Multifilm Packaging, located in Elgin, IL, is a vertically integrated
flexible packaging converter, with
in-house cast extrusion, metallizing,
flexographic printing, adhesive laminating, and slitting. Primary markets are confectionary twist wraps and bag film, and high barrier laminates for dry foods.
The
press is scheduled to be installed towards the end of 2008. |
