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.
