iTek Packz has installed its second Edale press, a nine-colour FL3 for the production of high quality labels. The new press will also allow the printing company to diversify into growth markets and was sold through local agent Printer Supplies, which has represented the UK manufacturer in the region for 10 years.
Bangalore-based iTek Packz was founded in 2013. The company is already operating an FL5 flexo press with inline flat-bed die-cutter. The new 430mm-wide FL3 press comes with a number of options, including the EZ Die quick-change full rotary die-cutting system, which allows tool changes in under one minute. Features of the EZ Die also include pre-registration of the die to print register mark in the web direction, a motorised cross register with pre-setting based on a job sheet and automatic waste pick up of the matrix.
‘The best part of working with an experienced printing company, such as item Packz, is that they have full knowledge of what they need and shall not settle for anything second best,’ commented Amitabh Luthra, managing director of Printer Supplies. ‘The FL3 gives them everything they need and its modular construction allows for upgrades in the future. Edale continues to be the right partner for iTek with the best in solutions for the narrow web flexo printing and converting industry.’
The iTek Packz team commented, ‘Edale’s technology and automation is the highest in the industry and since we have already had proven results from the FL5 by winning various FTA and AFTA Awards, the FL3 was the obvious choice. The FL3 also allows us to diversify into new growth markets ensuring the machine is completely future proof.’
