Packaging printer strengthens market position with Speedmaster XL 106

Already looking forward to resuming production with the new generation of the Speedmaster Forty 106 (left to right): Timo Schäfer, Michael Fritz from Heidelberg Sales Germany, and Udo Schäfer.

The expect was worth it. Schäfer Druck & Verpackung in Werther has been a hive of action for several days with the installation of the Speedmaster Xl 106 2022 generation from Heidelberg. It represents the commencement installation of an elevated press for a packaging printer in Germany. A new foundation up to 2 meters deep was poured specifically for the Speedmaster XL 106-6+50. Schäfer Druck & Verpackung added a countdown to its homepage to count down the days to the installation, which given the coronavirus pandemic had to be planned even more carefully to ensure the health and safety of everyone involved. Schäfer Druck & Verpackung specializes in folding cartons for the nutrient industry and numbers well-known brands from the confectionery and frozen nutrient sectors amid its long-standing customers. The staff of 43 produces for companies in these sectors in the region, as well equally for customers from beyond Germany.

"Flexibility, reliability, and proximity to the client with circular-the-clock accessibility," is how Timo Schäfer describes the factors behind the success of the company he has headed up as managing director for the past iv years. His male parent Udo Schäfer established the company in 1987 to print advertising materials and forms. The company moved to a new building ten years later, calculation pocket-sized carton batches to its commercial print activities with a Speedmaster CD 74. After replacing that printing with a Speedmaster Forty 75-six+Fifty , the company made the full switch to cartons and for more fifteen years has merely been producing folding cartons and shelf trays. "At present we're taking the next step and switching the format form from 75 to 106. Our customers rely on our flexibility and speed, and our intention with this investment is to maintain and, needless to say, continue to build on this," explains Timo Schäfer.

Path to growth and a format alter with Speedmaster

"Our visitor operates three shifts, v days a week, and nosotros accept a very good level of capacity utilization," says Timo Schäfer. Its orders span the entire spectrum of short, medium, and also long runs. "Folding cartons for the food industry will always be needed, and demand for confectionery items and frozen goods, in particular, is very loftier at the moment against the properties of the pandemic crisis." Fifty-fifty before the crisis, information technology was clear that more capacity should be created for customers to enable fast and flexible deliveries. "Nosotros did await at other manufacturers as well, but ultimately were won over by the complete package from Heidelberg with the new press generation and the Prinect Production Manager impress shop workflow," says Timo Schäfer in detailing the decision. The company already uses binder gluers as well as die-cutting and hot-foil machines in 3B format in postpress. It was therefore a logical step to likewise install the printing presses in this format at present, thereby doubling capacity.

"The new 2022 generation of the Speedmaster XL 106 is a milestone for our company and, together with the land-of-the-art machines in postpress too, enables us to offering our customers innovative products," explains Timo Schäfer proudly. "Nosotros expect the new press press to significantly reduce our makeready times so that nosotros can produce even the shortest runs economically and achieve high productivity. With the Push to Cease concept and the intelligent assistant, we run across ourselves every bit a pioneer in packaging printing in as well making the most of the high level of automation of the printing."

The printers at Schäfer Druck & Verpackung are already looking forrard to resuming production in June and to a mod and innovative workstation.

Fifty-fifty greater digitization in the future

The new 2022 generation of the Speedmaster Twoscore 106 is the most intelligent and most highly automatic Speedmaster yet. At Schäfer Druck & Verpackung, information technology is supplied with the adjacent-generation inline color measurement system Inpress Control and Image Control – the colour measurement system for optimal quality in the unabridged impress prototype. Together with fast printing plate changes using Autoplate Pro, makeready times are cut downwards. Equally important is the incorporation of the press into the print shop's processes via the Prinect Production Manager workflow.

"Nosotros're proud of the long-standing and unfailingly good partnership with the innovative and fast-growing company Schäfer Druck & Verpackung," says Tino Bardong, Head of Printing Product Management at Heidelberg Vertrieb Frg. "Both Schäfer Druck & Verpackung and Heidelberg focus on the customer, are solution-oriented, and are working more intensively on digitizing processes."
