Jaymar Packaging has invested in a Visionfold 110 A2, its fourth Bobst folder-gluer, as it seeks to future-proof its business and bring greater flexibility to its operations.

Described by Bobst as the ‘ultimate all-rounder’ for folder-gluing, the machine will handle a wide range of packaging including cartons, sleeves, 4-corner trays and litho-laminated work at Jaymar.

Director, Craig Street, said, ‘We have been thinking about investing in a new folder-gluer for about 18 months after gaining new customers and seeing existing accounts grow. In addition, as companies move away from plastic packaging, the demand for carton has increased. Customer service is a key focus for us and by investing now, we are demonstrating the importance we place on being able to maintain the high standards we have as we continue to grow.

‘The new machine will complement our existing Bobst folder-gluer portfolio and bring greater flexibility and versatility to our production lines. We believe that once in place, it will save a lot of time in terms of make-readies and enable us to run some of our larger jobs to completion which isn’t always possible currently.’

The Visionfold 110 A2 is a multi-purpose machine that is adaptable and able to process a wide range of packaging formats. It delivers a stable and precise fold at high speeds and offers a choice of left, right or simultaneous folding.
