Pureprint picks Renz to expand services

Print Solutions

Pureprint Group has enhanced its in-house capabilities and is expanding its global web to print business with investment in five Renz supplied to solutions.

Its large HP Indigo digital facility based in Uckfield, East Sussex invested in the Renz P500 ES and AP360 heavy duty punching systems and a Renz AB 500 HS high speed automated binder to upgrade their wire binding capability.

Aaron Archer, Pureprint’s business development director, said: ‘We have a very strong and clear production process and excellent customer service. Maintaining that was paramount in our decision to make this investment.’

He continued, ‘We have comprehensive in-house binding capabilities but with our growing calendar, diary and document products we needed to invest in a wire binding system which could handle high volume quality production. The new systems will help us support the production needs of our key customers and the extra capacity will enable us to increase our on-demand production support for the global web to print business.’

The P500 ES and AP360 can handle all types of book and calendar punching production with ring wire, plastic comb and coil options.

The AB 500 HS production binding machine for books, calendars and skip binding can handle wide range of different paper formats.

The spend also included an Argos L 380 coater and an Argos L 380 MGFE feeder from the Belgium manufacturer represented exclusively in the UK by Renz.

Aaron added, ‘The systems were suited to true print on demand production which is fundamental to our business approach. They are capable of handling short and longer runs and that flexibility is crucial for our mix of work.’
