Printing

The 123% full-year profit increase occurred during a period when many packaging converters faced margin pressure from rising raw material costs.

Siegwerk’s decision to move production to Turkey reflects a broader trend of industrial relocation away from high-cost Western European countries to lower-cost Eastern European and Eurasian locations.

The “online and retail expansion” language suggests that Pantum is pursuing an omnichannel strategy: products available on e-commerce platforms (Amazon, Flipkart) for direct-to-consumer sales, and also in physical stores for customers who want to see the printer before buying.

Consolidating manufacturing, supply chain, quality, ESH, PMO, and IT under a single operational leader reflects Wikoff’s commitment to a more modern, integrated, and standardised operating model across its network.

By freeing up the overspecified finishing lines for the 20% of jobs that actually need complex embellishment, a converter can increase overall throughput without adding floor space.

By adding AstroNova digital label printers to the range, Eclipse can now supply a complete workflow from full-colour digital print through to finished labels.

The press includes several automation and stability-focused features, including motor-controlled UV systems, BST inspection technology, RE tension control, and anti-static systems positioned throughout the production path to support consistent performance at higher operating speeds.

The MAMA-1000 supports optional add-ons including air filtration, a pellet dryer, a pigments mixer for colour blending, and an IDEX dual-head configuration for multi-material workflows.

The iEcho system uses a digital cutting head that follows a CAD file, producing the first piece as fast as the thousandth piece, with no tooling cost and no waiting for die manufacture.

The RD 530mm rotary die-cutting finishing machine operates independently from the press, allowing Jackrom to print on the RFP 660S while simultaneously die-cutting previously printed rolls on the RD.
