Hunghing Printing Group has installed a Bobst NOVAFLUTE in-line laminator produced by Bobst Shanghai at Zhongshan, Guangdong.
NOVAFLUTE is designed for the Chinese market as afirst level in-line solution targeting the printing format sizes 6 and 3B. Based upon the identified needs of the market, the result is a cost-effective substitute to traditional packaging workflows, and is also available with a pre-print section. With this, it is also possible to laminate flexo pre-print or an unprinted top-LINER onto single-face web.
Compared with a traditional sheet-to-sheet machine, an in-line solution is a complete production line, starting with the creation of the single-face, followed by sheet cutting and in-line lamination of the offset-printed sheets and ending with a stack of the final litho-laminated board. Only three operators are needed for the entire process. An in-line laminator is the first choice when a converter needs high volume of litho-laminated board and when a constant high level of litho-laminated board quality is required in terms of humidity and board warp.”
"As Hunghing's customer base continues to grow, we are always looking for the latest technology and equipment that is best suited to support their growth and serve their varied needs," Mr. Spencer Sung, Executive Director of Hunghing Printing Group said. "The NOVAFLUTE in-line laminator provides additional capacity, speed, quality and dependability, which results in the fast turnaround that today's customers demand."
As one of the largest and most respected printers in Asia, Hunghing Printing Group has provided its customers with printing and packaging services for over 60 years. Its clients today include the most recognized names in toys and consumer goods, as well as leading publishers from around the world.
