‘This is an exciting time for us at Fix-a-Form International. We have invested considerably in the development of the new range of machinery and are delighted we have sold the first of this new generation machine. This is a great journey for us as the originators and creators of Fix-a-Form Multi Page Leaflets, over 40 years ago. To continue to be manufacturing the machinery to produce the product – multi-page leaflet labels, is a great success for the company,’ said Andrew Denny, managing director of Fix-a-Form International.

‘Multi-page leaflet labels are a premium product for label manufacturers and with Fix-a-Form machinery a real variety of shapes, sizes, page numbers and multiple configurations can be achieved, meeting the broad range of customer’s requirements,’ concluded Denny.
