Mondi Consumer Goods Packaging showcases GravureTech

Packaging Solutions

At Packaging Innovations, at the NEC in March, Mondi Consumer Goods Packaging will be showcasing GravureTech – a new approach to the original high definition printing process.

Mondi Deeside sales director Julie Eller said, ‘We have the UK’s largest, most modern and efficient gravure presses, which enables us to offer smaller runs and shorter lead times through faster job turnaround and changeovers, delivering lower cost to our customers.

‘Over many years, the gravure printing process has fallen out of favour with many brand owners as it was associated only with long print runs, long lead times and high costs. But at Mondi Deeside, GravureTech embraces the challenge of supplying brands with the best quality consistent print at low cost and can match the flexo turnaround time on new designs. This is due to the faster changeover times on modern presses but also our integrated supply chain and pre-press.’

She continued, ‘Our advanced pre-press origination department enhances the creative process, working with designers to precisely match their requirements while amortising costs to offer cylinder engraving at flexographic prices. Add to that the fact that we engrave cylinders locally and can offer superior print and patterned lacquers, plus superior coatings for sealing, such as cold-seal – as gravure can put down heavier weights – then GravureTech becomes the obvious choice for high quality flexible packaging.

‘You can save time using gravure, as on-press passes are no longer a time and cost your company could better invest elsewhere. Simply use our off press proofing where we can provide a proof fully representative of what you will see from the press – achieved by using the actual cylinders, substrates and inks.

‘GravureTech combines the high definition print benefits of pin sharp accuracy, precise colour matching and photographic representation, with time and money saving. With GravureTech, brand owners can maintain their quality values while improving stockholding and keeping costs down.’

‘But all that is only the start,’ said Julie. ‘At Mondi Deeside, GravureTech works with our other innovative and value adding product ranges including PouchTech and CookTech to deliver innovative, functional and high performance products using a wide variety of substrates and finishes.’

Visitors to stand C28 at the Packaging Innovations show will also be able to see Mondi Consumer Goods Packaging’s extensive range.
