Flexibles converter grows label business
The Middle East’s leading flexible packaging group has expanded its operations to Egypt and picked up new capabilities in converting a wide range of labels. Andy Thomas reports
The Brava is used for a range of
shorter run label work, including
pressure-sensitive; 70 micron IML;
and some shrink sleeve label work.
Mohamed Ibrahim says he is not seeing
a trend towards shorter runs of flexible
packaging – and the fact that UV offset
inks are not food approved limits the
range of possible applications.
Why the move to offset? ‘We chose
offset for shorter runs of labels because I
did not want to go to flexo,’ says Ibrahim.
‘These jobs are easier to do offset
because offset plates are faster and
cheaper to make using our Kodak CTP
unit.’ Rotopack only runs the Brava press
in rotary mode, though it can be quickly
turned into an intermittent machine.
