Sira OOD has selected an MPS EF multi-substrate press to broaden its capabilities in the narrow web market with the production of plastic wrap-around labels. 

With the EF flexo press, the Bulgarian printer will be able to complement its current offering of self-adhesive and wet glue labels.

The flexo press is able to control a range of substrates while meeting high print requirements in quality and register control. The EF flexo press is feature-rich with six UV-print stations, delamination-relamination, cold foil, automatic register, die-cutting station, and the APC package which extends the machine’s print quality and options. The machine is also built with servo drives, video inspection, corona treatment, and sleeve technology on each print station for the loading and unloading of print cylinders.

In addition to customers in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries, the majority of Sira OOD customers are in the food sector including beverage, dairy and meat. At present, Sira OOD produces high volumes of self-adhesive labels found on canned foods, vacuum packaging and bottles.
