Route 1 Print ends its search for stacking quality with Palamides

Print Solutions

Sustained rapid growth has seen Rotherham based Route 1 Print continue its investment programme and this has resulted in the installation of two Palamides Alpha 500plus mobile stacking machines, supplied by UK and Ireland agent, Friedheim International.

Director James Kinsella said, ‘ Over the past year there has been a steady increase in the amount of folded work that requires a fast turnaround, and this concentration made us review our procedures to ensure that in addition to providing this capability we also continued to maintain the consistent high quality that we are renowned for.

‘On reviewing what equipment was currently available, we very quickly decided that the Palamides was the perfect solution. Since installation that has proved to be the case, with the two machines producing quality stacked blocks with consistent heights which aids easier packing into boxes.’

James added, ‘We have the facilities and automated technology at Route 1 Print to turn jobs around in minimum timeframes, from brief to fulfilment, and can cater for both large format Digital and small format litho/digital production.

‘We are always looking for ways to offer more competitive prices and better value to our customers, and the fact that the two Palamides stackers can work at full tilt with the need for only one operator at each is really helping us to achieve the cost effectiveness necessary to realise this aim in the finishing aspect of the production process.’
