Saudi Plastics Factory (SPF), producer of plastic containers and packaging, has purchased a hybrid Graphium press to print PVC labels and apply them to their plastic containers more efficiently.
The Graphium is a digital hybrid, five colour UV inkjet press including white integrated with inline flexo and finishing stations.
Fawaz Al Kaaki the president and managing director, said, ‘SPF chose to invest into a Graphium hybrid digital printers in order to better serve their customers. They will now have the capability to print PVC labels and apply them to their plastic containers – faster and more efficiently.’
SPF is also looking to develop shrink sleeve and in-mould labels for the Saudi Arabian market.
The Graphium is able to handle a print width of either 330 mm or 420 mm, and can print on some of the thinnest label substrates up to heavy duty vinyl, as well as board stock. The press gives converters the ability to profit by offering their customers reduced time to market, smaller batch sizes, increased SKU’s and added value.
