UK-based Reflex Labels has ordered five EF multi-substrate flexo presses from MPS for production of label and packaging.
As part of the order, MPS will supply presses including one 8-colour/430mm press, two 9-colour/520mm presses and two 10-colour/430mm presses complete with Automated Print Control (APC) Packages, providing automated servo control of all relevant press settings.
Intended for Reflex Labels’ Label Plus division, the machines will be equipped with various laminating and booklet equipment which can moved from press to press through the unique Ultraflex system.
Reflex Label CEO Ian Kendall said: “During press demonstrations at the MPS headquarters in the Netherlands, we saw first-hand proof of integrated waste reduction and ultimate flexibility.
“One of our low-waste solutions is the production of linerless labels, a technology that MPS is known for as an early adopter and supporter, also evident in their participation of the debut Linerless Trail at Labelexpo Europe 2015, and again at Labelexpo Americas 2016.”
The systems will also feature multiple screen units, cold foiling and the very latest Flowman hot foiling system from Pantec in Switzerland.
The purchase is a part of Reflex Label’s plan to meet growing demands for more complex and intricate label and packaging designs for its customers.
Kendall added: “MPS presses are robust, high in quality, and ensure the optimum printing productivity coupled to the very best print results.”
MPS UK sales director Nick Tyrer said: “We are delighted with the continuation of our partnership and with the addition of these five MPS presses to Reflex’s advanced manufacturing sites.”
Reflex Group offers flexible packaging, shrink sleeves, artwork & reprographics, barcode systems and plain labels for its customers.
