UK-Based Qualvis Selects Xerox and Tresu Digital Printing and Coating Lines

UK-based Qualvis Print & Packaging has invested in two Xerox-TRESU digital printing and coating lines to meet the demand for shorter packaging run-lengths in the food and personal healthcare sectors.

The firm purchased the two digital printing and integrated folding carton coating lines to offer its customers with efficient on-demand service with short runs, unique prints and lead-times of between six and 10 days.

Qualvis said that the two printing and coating lines, which were installed earlier this year, will allow it to provide personalized packaging, multiple brand and language variations, as well as market testing samples.

Comprising sheet-fed Xerox iGen digital press featuring a Tresu Pinta flexo coater, each of the production lines is designed to provide a single-pass package printing solution with speeds of up to 2500 sheets per hour.

One of the production line features the iGen5 which comprises CMYK plus a station for blue, green or orange while the other line features the iGen4, with four process stations with maximum resolutions of 2400 x 2400dpi.

Qualvis managing director Jason Short said: “The two Xerox iGen presses combined with the TRESU Pinta coaters give us the combination of sharp quality, productivity and reliability to compete in these short-run markets.

“And, with two lines, we have the back-up to ensure the most demanding delivery times, common for foods, are met on time.”

The two production lines complement the Qualvis’ existing seven-color KBA Rapida 106 and a six-color Heidelberg 6LX Speedmaster.
