Labfax opts for two Focus Label Machinery flexo presses

The two newly installed presses have been purchased to increase production capacity and improve print quality across a range of substrates. 

The Reflex 250/330 model is a single color, re-register flexo press equipped with a quick change print cassette system, die-cutting, slitting, rewinding and a choice of drying systems.

The infra-red drying unit is combined with forced cold air, allowing faster drying speeds without the heat build-up, while the print cassette can be removed from the press in just a few seconds, enabling fast job changes and clean-ups. In addition, UV drying has been included and will be used mainly for high-speed varnishing and flood-coating.

The accurate re-registration facility enables the high-speed finishing of pre-printed stock. Other options available for the Reflex include cold foil, laminating, turn bar, delam-relam and digital inkjet systems.

‘As the business has continued to grow, we decided that new investment was required,’ commented Claire Radnor, operations director at Labfax. ‘We already have a good partnership with Focus and had no hesitation in ordering the two Reflex presses from them. The equipment is well made, reliable and the back-up service is excellent.’

Focus sales manager, Antony Cotton, added: ‘This latest installation makes a total of four finishing systems for Labfax in the last two years. We wish them continued success, and we are proud to be their preferred supplier of pressroom equipment.’
