TRM Packaging Partners with Flint Group Open a New Colour Lab.

UK-based corrugated retail and shelf-ready packaging manufacturer TRM Packaging, along with the Flint Group, has opened a new colour lab.

The installation and investment on the colour lab is a part of the five-year partnership of the two companies.

With the lab, TRM has become directly connected with Flint Group's European Colour Centre (ECC) in Lodz, Poland.

The colour lab includes complete integrated colour management services along with quality and process reporting software.

TRM print development manager James Jolley said: "The addition of this colour lab is yet another indicator of the focus TRM puts into providing the highest print qualities and products for our customers. The new facility will allow TRM's qualified technicians to produce high specification digital print swatches and conduct assessments of inks, technical mediums and varnishes in house, which will reduce lead times associated with the process."

"It sits alongside the business' structural lab and enhances our product testing capabilities to ensure that the packaging we manufacture not only meets but also exceeds our customer requirements."

Apart from the lab, TRM has also invested in a £3.2m high quality Gopfert impression printer and a £1m upgrade to the company's corrugators at its Burscough site.

Flint Group sales manager Paul Campbell said: "We are proud to be entering our third phase and new five-year collaboration with TRM. The opening of the new colour lab now connects TRM directly with our ECC, bringing TRM in to the elite company of a growing number of converters at the vanguard of digital colour communication.

"The longevity of our relationship is indicative of a genuine joint effort to focus on quality, output and waste. The combined expertise of both companies for pre-empting and delivering solutions to meet the increasing challenges of packaging and brand owner demands underpins a truly successful partnership."

Established in 2001, TRM manufactures and supplies corrugated packaging to the food, drink and FMCG markets.
