‘We combine both state-of-the-art equipment, in the form of the Edale presses, alongside skilled personnel to ensure superior print quality to our customers.

 

‘We have witnessed a change in the packaging needs in the country, and this is where we made the decision to purchase the Edale flatbed die cutter as it seemed the perfect fit running in line with our Sigma press – we are thrilled with not only the quality of the products it has been producing, but also the efficiency.’
