Recent innovations in printing include updated inspection systems, a takeback system for PET labels and installations of several high-speed, sophisticated flexographic printing presses
In the modern world of packaging, printing is a critical factor that helps to boost shelf appeal. The printing itself needs to be fast and accurate – and that must be checked using sophisticated down- stream systems. Saudi Arabia-based flexpack producer Al-
Shamrani recently invested in a new Bobst Vision CI flexo press. The model is designed to deliver high efficiency and performance across all flexographic produc- tion lengths, on a wide range of substrates. It is an ideal choice for converters looking for a reliable, cost-effective flexographic production tool, says Bobst. “We bought our first Bobst machine – an Expert CI flexo press – in 2019,” said Ali Muhammad

Al-Mashmarani, general manager at Al-Shamrani. “We’ve seen the stability and performance it brings to our production. Like many packaging converters, we’re keen to expand our capacity and shorten lead times without compromising quality. That’s why the Vision CI flexo press was the ideal choice.” Al-Shamrani operates 24-hour shifts across five
different departments, meaning there are lots of moving parts to consider when making an invest- ment. There were two key drivers: to modernise production with the latest technology; and to increase production capacity. The press features automatic opening and closing bearings, alongside a preload system. Ease of use gives fast machine start-up, user-friendly access to all print decks, and simple maintenance.
