Digital printer Screaming Colour has invested in new Kolbus DA 260 Casemaker to enhance its specialist high-end presentation box manufacture. To be installed at the company's Slough finishing plant, it will be a 'first' for the UK packaging market - along with the first UK installation of a Kolbus NM 100 grooving machine.
Greg Bird. Kolbus UK sales manager said: "The DA 260 and the NM 100 router have attracted a lot of interest in the UK packaging market. It is pleasing to be installing these first machines at Screaming Colour who specialise in high quality packaging with very fast turnarounds, two of the key areas that this kit is designed for."
Screaming Colour upped the specification of the basic machine to give it the added capacity to be able to produce cases with up to seven board components, to enable them to produce high quality presentation boxes. The DA 260's makeready times of only minute was also a critical factor in the equation.
This was also where the Kolbus NM 100 grooving machine came into its own. By routing grooves in the material and using one piece of board instead of up to seven individual pieces, boxes have crisp corners and a solid precision finish.
