Ultimate Packaging buys Bobst press

Ultimate Packaging, based in Grimsby, UK, has ordered the Bobst F&K 20SIX to produce flexible packaging, after the machine premiered at Drupa.

"With its performance and innovative features, the F&K 20SIX is the ideal answer to the demands encountered in the production of flexible packaging, such as for fresh and chilled foods. We are expanding our leading position in this market in the UK," said Ultimate Packaging managing director Nigel Tonge.

In addition to a high production capacity of up to 600m/min with web widths of up to 1,300mm, the F&K 20SIX also has significantly lower makeready times and much less waste. "With the F&K 20SIX, we can reduce makeready times from two hours to 20 minutes. This machine increases productivity substantially," said Chris Tonge, sales and marketing director.
