‘We are able to offer innovation and productivity to our customers, as well as sustainable printing, as a result of Electron Beam inks and lacquers,’ said Clodoaldo Martins Neto, executive director of Totalflex. ‘We strive to make a difference with the options that presently exist on the market, offering monolayer materials, thinner films, higher productivity, and high-quality printing, which has positioned the company and its products on the forefront of the market.’

According to Neto, one of the strengths of Comexi's offset central printing technology is its capability of grouping multiple SKUs in one single run. 

‘It allows us to market our services to clients with an extensive mix of SKUs and offer SKU combinations within the same job. As a result, we are able to competitively perform short or medium runs at the highest quality level,’ added Neto.

The Comexi CI8 Offset press is the result of combining the advantages of offset variable size printing with central drum technology. It is especially suitable for short and medium size runs. According to Comexi, the press embraces the demand of time to market and printing quality, reduces the operative cost, and has less impact on the environment.

The commercial relationship between Comexi and Totalflex began in 2003 with the purchase by the Brazilian company of the first machines. 

‘We had an extremely positive appreciation of Comexi and identified considerably with the company because its profile was similar to ours,’ added Neto. ‘Since 2001, before our first acquisition, Comexi was already providing us flexographic technical support, which was unmatched in Brazil. By virtue of Comexi, we have been able to competitively differentiate ourselves by offering a high standard of quality that has never been seen in our region. Together, we are building a beautiful alliance.’

Totalflex Indústria de Embalagens, which has its headquarters in Jequié (Bahia), was founded in 1977 under the name of Artplástico. The company specializes in supplying flexible laminated packaging with two or more layers and produces packaging that preserves and maintains various products' characteristics and quality. Totalflex has the ABFlexo seal given to notable flexographic printing companies, placing it among the top five companies of the sector in Brazil.
