Mal-Pol Installs Mark Andy P-Series Press Mal-Pol, based in Olesin, Poland, has installed a new Performance Series P5 press from Mark Andy. The P5 press is a highly specified 8-color flexo line, with a 17-inch web width fitted with dual unwind and rewind, web cleaning, corona treater, and web turn bars, as well as chilled impression rolls. It has a cold foil capability, and an automatic register system. At the converting section, it is fitted with a Mark Andy Compact Parallel Web Translator, and there is gap control of the QCDC unit before the waste is re- wound on Mark Andy’s new zero gap windup unit. The new Mark Andy, which joins a variety of exist- ing flexo and digital presses, has been specified to allow Mal-Pol to develop its peel/reseal label busi- ness.The Mark Andy Compact Parallel Web Translator unit allows it to produce multi-layer labels. Traditionally, Mal-Pol has supplied labels to the food, cosmetics, automotive, and industrial markets, such as fuel oil. Substrates processed are principally paper- based and laminated foil. It has its own in-house ink kitchen and is fully self-sufficient for pre-press. It is in the process of adding a 1,400-square-meter extension to its 2,000-square-meter facility, after which it intends to add BRC accreditation to its existing ISO status. Currently, the company staff of 100 operates a triple-shift pattern.
