This Saxony-based flexo printer and converter boasts customers such as Lufthansa, major German football teams, tissue manufacturers and online traders. Established 28 years ago, Schröder Design Verpackung operates in the flexo packaging market, predominantly producing semi-final products with reel-to-reel operation. It manufactures film rolls with variable widths and thicknesses, with and without micro- and macroperforation. In addition, it produces printed and unprinted silk papers of different quality levels, and branded film bags. Schröder’s newly installed Futec system will operate on an 8-color CI flexo press.

Jan Schröder, general manager and owner of Schröder Design Verpackung, said: ‘Quality is of ever-increasing importance to our customers and it is what we have become known for. We have been very impressed with Futec’s expertise and the excellent support we have received throughout the consultation and installation process.

‘This Futec system will enable us to further increase quality standards, and importantly provide the quality guarantee that our customers now demand.’

Silvio Neumann, Futec general manager, EMEA, said: ‘We are thrilled to reach our 10,000th installation and delighted that Schröder Design Verpackung decided to invest in a Futec system as this is further validation of our expertise in 100 percent inspection for flexo.’ 

Futec recently introduced ‘Lean Back Pact’, a five-year extended warranty that applies to all new systems purchased from October 2017. Futec will also offer premium support and maintenance as part of a service contract.

Futec has also made a breakthrough in machine learning, enabling smart interpretation of inspection data for next-generation print quality control and ‘leading the machine learning revolution in fault detection’.
