Rondo Ganahl uses Fusion Topliner for shelf-ready packaging and POS displays
Austrian manufacturer of corrugated board packaging, Rondo Ganahl chose Sappi’s Fusion Topliner with its recently installed digital printer following a series of print and material tests. The company installed a Durst Delta SPC 130 earlier this year at its plant in St. Ruprecht/Raab.
The brilliant white fresh fibre liner achieved excellent results, both with conventional – offset and flexo – and with digital printing. ‘We were looking for papers that would cover a very broad spectrum of print and provide us with peace of mind across all printing technologies,’ said managing director Karl Pucher. ‘We were extremely impressed with the brilliant white appearance of Fusion Topliner, its strength values, the smooth folded edges, excellent adhesive properties and fantastic print image.’
He commented, ‘The market is changing and the number of products is increasing. There is demand for a wider variety of packaging in smaller quantities. Digital print allows us to respond more quickly and provide our customers with more targeted support for new product launches or seasonal promotions.’
Rondo Ganahl uses Fusion Topliner in a weight range of 135-180gsm for shelf-ready packaging, special editions for food retail, customised wine cartons as well as a broad array of POS displays. The company sees itself as a solutions provider, proposing materials and corresponding printing techniques that are most suitable and effective for its customers’ specific requirements.
Depending on the customer’s requirements and job profile, the corrugated board panels are printed on Fusion Topliner with offset, flexo or digital. Since installing the Durst, digital print volume has increased significantly. ‘Fusion Topliner is a true all-rounder, proving its qualities across all types of printing and enabling us to explore new business opportunities and customer segments with digital print,’ concluded Mr Pucher.
