Added value for Stormpress with Kluge investment

Print Solutions

Stormpress, based in Exeter, Devon, has taken delivery of a Kluge EHF foil stamping, embossing and die cutting press. Used individually, or in combination, the capabilities of the Kluge EHF can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, adding value to any printed piece. Its impression strength, features and user friendly modifications, make the Kluge EHF the flagship of the Kluge 14 x 22" finishing presses.

Stormpress’ heritage was born out of Kall Kwik. Originally operating as a Kall Kwik in Exeter for many years, the company branched out five years ago and began building its own Stormpress brand. It has a very low staff turnover (the average length of staff service is 12 years) meaning that everyone has become an absolute expert in their role. The company is regarded as a creative force offering quality ‘Print for Everyone’.

Henry Luce, managing director, said: ‘Our reason for buying the Kluge was to bring our die cutting in-house and to be able to have more control over turnaround on embossing and foil stamping.

‘We see short run special print effects as an important niche growth sector over the coming years, allowing brand owners to differentiate themselves and their products. The Kluge EHF will allow us to serve this requirement quickly and efficiently.’
