Solution for investment costs
Each day, various packaging materials such as rubber, plastic and cardboard enter Printpak’s factory and leave the premises later as complete packaging materials. Among the packaging manufactured by Printpak are various types of cigarette packs. A challenge for Printpak was the fact that no two pack designs are the same. “Here, the dimensions of cigarette packs are the same, but the design and embossing vary with each type,” explains Mr. Savani. “Because we had to order new cylinders for the production machine and so-called modification parts for each new embossing design, the investment became too costly. We asked Madern to come up with a solution for the flexible production of the various cigarette pack designs without having to invest in new cylinders and parts each time.”
