Rubinstein says, “Firstly it enables us to remain at the cutting edge in terms of working with the latest technology, a philosophy that has been the hallmark of our success. It has also increased our capacity and at the same time delivered significant workflow benefits and cost and time-savings due to its one-pass productivity and high level of automation.”

Litho Superpak’s CX102 press is configured for six colours with twin coaters. Rubinstein adds that as a packaging printer, being able to do UV coating inline is a massive benefit and removes a number of processes that previously slowed down production.

He says, “We can now produce jobs in one pass cutting out the offline processes and greatly reducing waste. Plus this press is fast so we can push through jobs in a fraction of the time. As a result we’ve greatly improved efficiencies and have been able to save our customers money also.”

Earlier this year Litho Superpak, a family owned business, moved into its new premises in Brunswick, an inner Melbourne suburb. The CX102 has taken prized position in the plant and Rubinstein says the company has already gained new work as a direct result of the installation.

He says, “People have seen the work we can do on this machine and are bringing their packaging work to us. Every time we put in a new Heidelberg machine we are able to access new markets and this press is no exception.”
