US converter purchases Omet Flexy press

QSX Labels of Everett, Massachusetts, USA, has installed an 8-color Omet Flexy press with a 10-inch web width. The press contains a combination UV/hot air drying system, hot stamping and cold foil capabilities, interchangeable units for flexo and rotary screen, removable cassettes for fast job changes and interchangeable tooling.
QSX Label owner Robert Karess commented: ‘The Omet Flexy provides us with not only additional production capacity but also the ability to offer detailed decorative labels that our customers are expecting us to provide.
‘We considered many different presses before choosing Omet. We were very impressed with the overall technology, design and mechanical construction built into the Flexy as well its outstanding web tension control and print registration. This press allows for easy slide-out print cassettes for fast changeovers, which is absolutely essential in today’s short-run market and also provides an extremely short web path which ultimately reduces waste and increases job versatility. The many attributes found within the Omet Flexy clearly presented the best choice for us at this time.’
Operation manager John Douglas said: ‘I have worked with many high end presses during my 20-year career and I have never seen a press designed so efficiently or effectively. This press really produces incredible work and is extremely versatile – you really could not ask for more from a press.’
QSX Labels serves the specialty food and beverage, consumer goods, chemical, industrial and personal care industries.
