Fujifilm announces that Spanish corrugated packaging printer Grupondunova invested in a new Inca Digital Onset X1 press with ClinchTech automation from Fujifilm. This investment forms a key part of a wide ranging strategy to meet the challenges in the packaging market for the next few years. Founded more than 50 years ago, Grupondunova operates out of three production centers in Catalonia. The company has enjoyed growth over the last 10 years, despite a recession in the Spanish market.
“We have spent several years surveying our customers’ needs as well as wider market trends, and have identified a growing trend towards customisation and specialized low-volume packaging,” said director general Jordi Carrió. “Having identified this trend we have recently established a new digital packaging business called Wondu, which has been tasked with taking advantage of the increased opportunities in this exciting market.”
Following the investment, Wondu is now producing high quality, short run printed packaging, including run-of-one samples, across multiple sectors – from food and pharmaceuticals; automotive and personal care; to the chemical and textile industries.
“The primary problem of printing high quality corrugated cardboard using our traditional flexo printing presses is that the initial job set up cost remains the same, regardless of run length,” said Carrió. “With the Onset X, this problem is completely removed, and ultra low volume, high quality packaging becomes both possible and profitable. The feedback we have received from customers so far has been extremely positive and many of our loyal flexo customers are starting to get very interested in the many possibilities that high quality digital print provides.”
