Goldline 2500 for Ridge & Tyler (Print & Packaging) Services

Print Solutions

Diecut UK has announced the installation of its manual die cutting machine, the Goldline 2500, at Ridge & Tyler (Print & Packaging) Services Ltd.

Health and safety was top of the priority list for Ridge & Tyler when it looked into replacing an aging VK2500 clamshell platen. The Goldline 2500 ticked all the HSE boxes and was modified by Diecut UK to suit the method of set up, meaning all cutting tools could also be run on the semi-automatic machines.

The installation ran very smoothly and the Goldline was running jobs the next day. It is still early days but the operators at Ridge & Tyler are delighted with the machine and have found it very user friendly. Already they are noticing set up times to be much quicker than the previous clamshell platen, resulting in an increase in their productivity.

The Goldline is available in 10 different sizes with a die cutting capability varying from 890 up to 3200 with options for scissor lift tables, heated bed and wide opening for honeycomb board or foam.

Pete Ridge of Ridge & Tyler, said: ‘We chose Diecut UK as it offers the best alternative to the dated clamshell platens and will be looking to replace our other three old style platens with Goldlines in due course.’
