Harwal Group Orders Second Bobst 20SIX CI Flexo Press In 2014, Interplast, based in Sharjah, United Arab Emi- rates,was the first member of the Harwal Group to pur- chase a Bobst 20SIX CI flexo press. It was the first Bobst 20SIX press in the UAE and also the first 20SIX press in the Gulf Cooperation Council, which used smartGPS technology in the flexible packaging industry. Recently, Riyadh Plastic Factory Company (RPF), also an associat- ed company of Harwal Group, signed a contract for a Bobst 20SIX CI flexo press to extend their capacities for the production of flexible packaging. Both presses are used for printing films (LDPE, BOPP, CPP, PET), foil, laminates, shrink sleeves, PVC twist wraps, metalized twist wraps and wax paper, wrap around labels, gift wraps, shopping bags and flower wraps. The second press ordered by Riyadh Plastic Factory Company is almost identical to the first one commis- sioned in 2014, featuring ten colors, and a print width of 1,450 mm, printing speed up to 500 meters /per minute and maximum repeat of 1,200 mm.

SCIENCE of flexo rollers and sleeves
The
Skilled flexo printers know any variation in temperature, humidity, substrates and a host of other conditions will affect the quality of their work. Cleanliness of lines, accuracy of colors and softness of shades can make or break a job. But if you want to maximize profits, you need to optimize uptime, speed and quality. The anilox rollers and sleeves in your presses are only as good as the science behind them—the technology of precision . ARC rollers and sleeves are built to exacting OEM dimensions, with cell geometries engineered for efficient ink usage and precise volumes.
