Total Packaging BV has added two new production lines from Bobst that will help it cope with increased sales and increase its folding carton manufacturing capacity.
The company produces a wide range of packaging from regular folding cartons and rigid boxes to vacuum formed blisters and transparent tubes. The company uses paper, carton, synthetic and corrugated materials to create the packaging its customers need.
Ewald Bleeker, managing director, said, ‘We needed to grow our manufacturing capacity for folding cartons quickly to meet increased demand for our products. The performance, quality and user friendliness we have found in the Bobst machines has secured that extra capacity, while having local service from Bobst Benelux means that we can ensure the availability our customers expect.’
The Novacut 106 E replaced an existing die cutter and has increased cutting and creasing capacity. The machine features a double cam gripper bar advance system which lowers the stress on the sheet and means that fewer nicks are needed, resulting in better quality of the final carton, at higher speeds than can be achieved with other types of die cutter.
The Expertfold 80 folder-gluer can process thousands of different straight line, crash-lock and 4/6 corner box styles, adding capacity and capability to the production line. The machine includes, the Bobst Accufeed module, which gives a high precision alignment to each box as it enters the machine.
