Vins Plastics to Install W&H’s PRIMAFLEX® CM
LINCOLN, R.I.—Windmoeller & Hoelscher Corporation has sold a 10-color PRIMAFLEX® CM flexographic printing press to Vins Plastics Limited of Bradford, Ontario, Canada. The press will be installed in early 2009.
Jamie Vins, president of Vins Plastics, said, “We felt W&H had the best combination of press technology, highlighted by their EASY-SET automatic impression setting capabilities and EASY-REG register setting, simple operation, and competitive pricing. We began the process of evaluating press suppliers over a year ago and visited several installations both in the U.S. and Canada. The W&H equipment clearly had a better design and was of superior quality.”
Vins added, “Another deciding factor was W&H’s commitment to service and support. The W&H customers that I called confirmed I could count on W&H to help us keep the press running at maximum productivity. Vins Plastics has always provided high-quality printing products and in the past has concentrated on lithographic printing. We decided to purchase a W&H press because we can now achieve the superior print capabilities that our customers require using the best flexographic equipment.”
Vins Plastics Ltd., founded as a family owned company in 1976, has been in continuous operation for 32 years. Today they are one of Canada’s leading suppliers of sophisticated flexible packaging, e.g. shrink sleeves and various laminated and printed products for numerous markets including food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and industrial.
W&H’s 10-color PRIMAFLEX® CM is available in web widths of 41" and 52" and has a maximum repeat length of 31.5". Production speeds are up to 1,300 fpm, and a wide range of options, such as Turboclean®, can be supplied.
