Ultimate Digital installs second HP Indigo 20000

The purchase of another HP Indigo 20000 digital press means Ultimate Digital has doubled print capacity and can now print close to 50000 linear meters of digital film per day. Ultimate Digital are particularly prominent in the FMCG arena, but hope the increase in capacity will allow them to venture into new markets including luxury packaging.

The HP Indigo 20000 will allow the company to produce nearly any packaging application, including flexible packaging, labels and shrink sleeves on film or paper.

Chris Tonge, executive director Ultimate Packaging, said: ‘Ultimate Digital is already producing a number of exciting campaigns for brands that feature personalized packs - including the recent, hugely successful personalized KitKat initiative. By continuing our digital journey with the HP Indigo 20000, we can ensure we’re able to support a larger number of these impressive campaigns going forwards.’

The business as a whole has invested heavily in digital by developing Ultimate Digital and Sharp Iris to provide a complementary service to Ultimate Packaging, their already well-established flexo business.
