Mayapack Impresos SA de CV, has installed an eight colour, 350 mm wide Edale FL-3 UV flexo press into its modern factory facilities in Toluca, Mexico.
The company is ISO 9001:2008 registered and produces high quality work for the cosmetic and healthcare sector. Edale’s agents for Mexico, Romexsa, have an excellent working relationship Mayapack, so when the time came for the company to invest in another flexo machine it turned to the European quality and latest technology that the Edale FL-3 could offer – meaning the company could move their business into the next league and begin to print unsupported flexible packaging materials.
Mayapack is the first in Mexico to have an FL-3 machine installed, and Edale export sales director, Bernhard Grob, said, ‘This is a very important installation for both Edale and also Romexsa, because Central and South America are growing markets for us, and having Mayapack as a reference site for potential customers to visit a live production site, is a big advantage.’
The machine was installed in July after extensive factory acceptance testing at Edale, which was then followed up by an additional weeks training carried out by in-house printer and technical support manager, Darron Shimmons.
The FL-3 machine has a number of features including delam/relam, lamination, turn bar and hot foil which all sit along the rail system, making it the ideal press for the company to expand into filmic applications.
This machine boasts the versatile rail system which gives flexibility to the operator to move additional options easily in to varying positions, dependent on the work being carried out.
