Sherwood invests in new die cutting unit

- Award-winning printer and packaging firm invests in second Iberica die cutting unit

 

- Latest step in £2.5m investment program

 

Nottingham-based award-winning printer and packaging producer, The Sherwood Press Group, has strengthened its commitment to the packaging industry by investing in a new Iberica Optima 105 die cutting machine.

 

The new machine will complement the company’s existing Iberica JR-105, and increase manufacturing capacity and efficiency. 

 

It is the latest step of the group’s £2.5 million investment in the past 18 months, and will be installed at the company’s Nottingham manufacturing site in November 2012.

 

Sherwood Press Group managing director Graham Garrod said: ‘We have seen great successes in our packaging division over the past two years, centered around our Pura Sustainable Packaging brand and now, having invested in another Iberica die cutting machine, Komori Lithrone S640 and Heidelberg Easygluer last year, we have some of the best printing and converting capabilities available.

 

‘The new machine features improved sheet transport technology which will enhance our carton quality and give greater sheet output.’
