Acorn Labels installs e-Flex press from Focus

The press, which has a web width of 430mm, is a modular machine whose configuration can be modified as needed. It is equipped with die station and sheeter, turnbar with relam/delam and reverse print, 1,000mm unwind and twin 700mm rewinds to slit and split reels, plus an extended 1,000mm rewind to support longer runs and heavy-duty card.

Sam Heneker, production manager at Acorn Labels, said: ‘The Focus team, from first meeting, design conception through to installation and training, worked hard to support our ideas. The press so far has been a game changer for us and we have been able to up production speeds quite easily by over 20 percent. This will grow as we bed the press in further. The e-Flex is a quality peace of engineering that we can utilize to increase our capacity and growth.’

Focus business development and marketing manager James Thomas said: ‘The project was ideal for Focus as Acorn Labels were very open to working as a partnership for the long-term and we could design and build the e-Flex to their exact specifications.’

David Lee, managing director at Focus, added: ‘We are proud to have added Acorn Labels to our growing family and look forward to many years supporting them and their growth.’
