(L-R): Trevor Lowes, Jonathan Moore and Andrew Hewitson
As the first company in the UK, Reproflex 3 has been awarded partner certification for the Kodak Flexcel NX system. The Newcastle-based packaging pre-media company delivers packaging and label applications to top brands throughout the UK and Europe and has recently doubled its capacity, expanding and building new premises of 12,000 square foot.
The certification process is designed to ensure that partners are providing plates that not only drive higher levels of quality but also offer the capability to achieve significant production efficiencies and cost savings on press.
Trevor Lowes, joint managing director, said, ‘Achieving the Flexcel NX certification is an endorsement of what R3 is all about. Our company mission is to supply the best quality plate and service to the packaging and label industry in Europe. The Kodak system allows us to produce designs for flexible packaging not achievable on any standard plate. This plate enables photographic quality on multiple substrates and gives our customers an edge in the marketplace. As one of the first companies to test the system and the Spotless Flexographic Solution, R3 has built its business using Kodak technology and created a significantly differentiated offering to its clients.’
Jonathan Moore, packaging sales director UK & Nordic, Kodak Graphic Communications Group, stated, ‘Kodak is very proud to award the certification to Reproflex 3. Our partner certification is a benchmark for quality and reflects the high standards of both the company and the product being produced on R3’s premises. By working with a repro house that has achieved this certification, printers can be assured that they are receiving a service and a product that is manufactured to the highest standards.’
