The new rewinder at Watermill Press
Watermill Press has won a £500,000 contract after investing in bespoke label finishing equipment. The company developed a custom made Vectra Turret Rewinder in partnership with AB Graphic International, to meet specific client demands.
The machine allows the company to create irregular label shapes with specialist peel off sections that offer improvements in supply chain tracking and efficiency.
Managing director Dale Deacon said ‘While the specialist Vectra Turret Rewinder has been developed with one client in mind, its unique functionality is relevant to a host of other businesses in the food and drink sector.
The brief was to meet a specific client’s commercially confidential request – it was a research and design project in many respects – and it is already paying dividends. We expect it to be much sought after and to become a significant, additional income stream in the coming years.
The volume of labels the machine is capable of handling is enormous and it will help us convert in the region of an additional two million square metres of material a year. Crucially, the new features we are now able to incorporate into our labels will improve supply chain efficiency and accuracy for our clients.’
