QuadTech appoints Scitus as agent in the UK

QuadTech has increased its commitment to the UK’s flexible packaging and security printing market by appointing Scitus Print Solutions to its global network of sales and service operations.

Scitus Print Solutions supplies products and systems that help printers reduce waste and make optimum use of manufacturing assets. The company’s area of expertize covers print, coating and specialty conversion in flexo, gravure, and offset narrow and wide web applications. 

Richard Warnick, director of Scitus Print Solutions, said: ‘Responsiveness, minimizing time to market, eradicating waste and reducing set-up times are the keys to maintaining the edge in an increasingly competitive global market.

‘QuadTech not only offers excellent technology, but industry-leading technical support and a commitment to providing custom-tuned solutions that empower the printer to get the artwork through the workflow quickly and precisely at the first attempt.’

QuadTech’s offering to the packaging sector includes 100 percent inspection, spectral colour measurement, register control and closed-loop workflows with PDF comparison.

Recent QuadTech developments include on-the-fly inspection on thin, unsupported, reflective and transparent surfaces, as well as the new Color Quality Solution, which shares and processes data from in-line and off-line colour measurement technology, thus shortening the press make-ready process.

Karl Fritchen, president of QuadTech, said: ‘The threat posed by counterfeit goods has fuelled demand for sophisticated methods of brand authentication, especially in markets like pharmaceuticals, healthcare, wines and luxury goods.

‘Packaging and label converters are increasingly expected to incorporate features such as holograms, conductive inks, optically variable images and covert effects visible under UV light, into their designs.’
