New print technology launched at Nampak
The Nampak DivFood Vanderbijlpark plant has officially opened its new five-deck printing line, with in-line varnish capability, from Crabtree FastReady and the newly installed End-o-mat production line for can end making.

The printing line is complemented by Kemtek CTP (Computer to Plate) pre-press technology, which cuts five steps of artwork initiation down to just two. Because of its new technology, the company estimates that new design lead times could be reduced by as much as eight weeks in certain cases.
Crabtree UK's director for capital equipment, John McHugh, was in attendance and spoke highly of the South African company's commitment to improved service and product delivery.

"The new printing line has three critical objectives, namely reduction in delivery times, production of better quality and reduction in costs. Nampak DivFood has the equipment, the technology and the enthusiasm to break boundaries in metal packaging and it is going to great lengths to achieve this for their customers. Metal is a very good packaging material and the new line is a great addition to this product," concluded McHugh.
