Revere Group, Seattle, Washington, has ordered a MASTER M6 machine from BOBST, which will complement the two BOBST MASTER M5 presses for film products and labels already in use at the company. Family-owned and managed, Revere Group man- ufactures direct-contact food packaging, includ- ing film, bags and pouches, and labels, with most customers found in the confectionery, nutrition and gourmet food industries. Founded in 1938, the fourth-generation company is headed up by co-owners and co-presidents Mark and Sally Revere. In-House Production Over the past few years, Revere has established in-house pouch production by combining the ca- pabilities of a BOBST MASTER M5 flexo press with an inline solventless laminator, and a Karlville pouch-making line. As the company scales up the flexible packaging side, the new top-of-the-range MASTER M6 will offer improved efficiencies, allow- ing Revere tomeet customers’ demands for faster delivery, reduced waste, and packaging produced with new eco-materials, according to the company. The current trio of BOBST MASTER inline flexo presses at Revere are all running UV LED low migra- tion inks for printing food contact packaging. One MASTER M5 is a 630mm wide machine for flexible packaging, while the other is a 370mm dedicated to label production, both purchased in 2015. The recent addition, the MASTER M6, is a multi-process, multi-substrate machine which is dedicated to film printing. Revere’s ten-color MASTER M6 features turret un- winders and rewinders and runs with inline sol- ventless lamination. Revere is leveraging BOBST’s oneECG technology for seven-color expanded gamut printing with high- ly reliable color consistency to hit more than 93% of the Pantone colors, and DigiFlexo automation technology for pressure setting, registration control and adjustments while the press is running – on all three machines. Stand-up pouches, including gusseted pouches, currently account for 6.7 percent of the flexible packaging market, with a predicted Compound An- nual Growth Rate of 5.1 percent to 2025. The sustainability aspect of pouch-making is im- portant for Revere, whose customers are keen to pursue a greener agenda in response to concerns
