Mid-East Flexo Installation Uses New System
Plasto-Sac, a growing packaging producer in the Middle East, is installing a Comexi wide-web CI flexographic press designed to use Sun Chemical's patented Wetflex EC printing process.
The company said it demonstrated how to add value to print in centres of competence within the hall.
They included products for publication web printing, a special centre for value added printing and processing, a colour standardisation centre and a manufacturing integration centre with presses using specially developed inks, which are claimed to help printers achieve standardisation in sheetfed offset.
There was also a packaging integration centre where the latest Sun Chemical UV curing inks were used for printing as part of a complete workflow.
The company also launched new series of printing inks for printed packaging designed to prevent or dramatically limit potential migration in to the food.
The levels of performance and quality demanded by print buyers, brand owners and packaging printers continually increase, said Sun, which said that it has made available printing inks that meet the best practices necessary for food package printing.
The two products for low migration quality (LMQ) ink systems are now available from Sun Chemical - Suncure ULM is UV curable and Irocart LMQ is for conventional sheetfed offset.
Felipe Mellado, corporate vice-president of marketing and technology at Sun Chemical Europe, said: "The specific requirements on food packaging are diverse and vary from country to country.
Our solid package of products launched at Ipex have been well received within the industry and there is already strong interest in these high performance and innovative ink products that are a direct response to our customers' needs." Charles Murray, corporate vice-president and group managing director at Sun Chemical Europe, added: "We had some very positive feedback to our initiatives and new products.
Ipex was an important show for us.".
