Exhibiting under the theme of ‘See Things Differently’, the company is aiming to demonstrate how the latest advances in automation, formats, configurations and supporting technologies can be harnessed to provide customers with the power to produce more impactful, immediate and cost-effective printed products with lower waste and less environmental impact.
The Sunday Vpak 3000 and Sunday Vpak 500 presses are taking centre stage at drupa with a world first showing. Based on the Sunday gapless press concept, the company says the Vpak presses make web offset an increasingly attractive alternative for folding carton, flexible packaging, pre-print and label printing. The two models feature quick-change blankets and printing cylinder sleeves, which make ‘infinitely’ variable repeat lengths easy and affordable.
The Sunday Vpak 3000 is available in web widths of up to 1905mm and is designed to address the trend towards wider web packaging printing. The Vpak 500 model is available in web widths of up to 1041mm.
