The Comexi Group, a manufacturer of flexible packaging converting machinery, has reached an agreement with CCL Label to install the Comexi Offset CI8 in its plant in Völkermarkt, Austria. Comexi Group says CCL chose the Comexi Offset CI8 in order to strengthen its positioning as an environmentally responsible printer while responding to customer’s stringent demands. Among its main benefits, the press reduces environmental impact due to the use of solventless inks, and improved energy efficiency,
The flexibility of the Comexi Offset CI8, which makes it possible to carry out just-in-time design changes, together with fine-tuning and fast production were key factors for CCL’s decision to acquire this new machine, the company says. This flexibility is achieved thanks to its central drum offset technology system, combined with automatic sleeve change. CCL Label has also taken into account Comexi’s fast design changes thanks to the use of lithographic plates.
Offset technology is not new for CCL Group, as it already has high expertise capabilities with certain label products. In this case, the Comexi Offset CI8 will provide increased capacity, allowing new products and a wider range of substrates to be printed with offset.
The Comexi Offset CI8 printing machine is the first web-offset press for printing variable lengths over a central impression drum, which links the advantages of both offset variable print length and flexo central impression drum printing in one press for flexible packaging and labels. This combination of technologies overcomes the issues that conventional in-line offset machines have by the fact that it can easily print thinner and more elastic materials (OPP, PET, PE).
