Turkish print group installs second Omet Flexy line

SPS Etiket & Ambalaj, part of the large Turkish Kucukler Group, has installed a second Omet Flexy 330 narrow web press for the production of self adhesive labels at its plant in Istanbul. The new Omet, which has a similar high specification to the first one, is an 8-color UV flexo line, fitted with a screen print unit, hot and cold foil capability, lamination, delam/relam, and turner bars. To ensure high quality printing, SPS also specified a corona treater and web cleaner, with video web control and auto register. The Omet Flexy is capable of printing substrates from 20-micron film to 300 gms cartonboard.

The Kucukler Group has a 30 year history in commerce and moved into printing in 1995 with the foundation of Kucukler Printing.  From its two production facilities in Turkey it produces and exports a variety of printed products including stationery, catalogues and brochures, as well as labels and tags. 

Omet sales director Marco Calcagni said: ‘We are delighted to be working with a leading print group like Kucukler. The recent installation of their second Omet Flexy line is proof that they made the right choice with the first one.’
