Colne-based Bellwoven, specialists in the design, manufacture and supply of garment accessories has invested in a LX6 from Focus Label Machinery.
Steve Doney, co-owner, explained the decision. ‘We have accounts where the quality is absolute paramount and felt we were not quite achieving this with our current equipment so turned to Focus. We have many Focus machines and knew they would produce the results we are looking for. The quality is exceptional; quite simply, they are the Rolls Royce of garment label machines.’
Mr Doney continued, ‘Once we agreed a specification, we had no hesitation in making the decision. We have Focus machines approaching 30 years old that are still working reliably and with a service second to none, we anticipate a return on investment in no time.’
With print runs reducing, the benefits of the latest series of LX machines really come to the fore. Quick set up and changeovers are vital in maintaining a competitive edge. Coupled with greater speeds, advanced drying systems and touchscreen operation, the impact of using a new press is being felt already.
Focus’ technical sales manager, Antony Cotton added, ‘We are delighted that Bellwoven has chosen Focus as the preferred supplier for their latest press requirement. We like to work closely with our customers, offering the best possible back up service, as we firmly believe that this is the basis for a strong future business relationship. In addition, we listen to the feedback from our customers and we continue to develop our equipment, making sure that we are able to offer the very latest technology to meet their requirements. We look forward to supplying further equipment to Bellowen in the future.’
The LX Range of equipment is for cost effective production of printed textiles for garment labelling, decorative ribbon, apparel trim, elastics and heat transfers. These presses allow full colour and job changes in seconds with the patented ink cartridge systems, on run register and advance setting systems. Furthermore, the versatility and selection of options ensures the machine scan be used for a wide variety of application including dye sublimation.
