The cost is a major benefit. We all know that offset used to have the advantage of higher print quali- ties. But because of advances in plate technology, and advances in the press performance, like deck stability and precision designs, the quality of print available on a flexographic printing machine is now nearly at the level of, if not the same as, offset. So when the quality is the same – well, that’s where the economics of flexo really come into their own. That’s causing a lot of people to make the switch. Q: Where do you see the big cost advantages? For most printers, 50-60 percent of their ink buy is white ink. So if you can lay it down more even- ly, or find ways to use less of it, that’s a win. With Miraclon’s FLEXCEL NX plates, you get a nice, even surface coverage that allows you to get good results with less ink. And if you’re using less ink, it’s going to cost the end customer less to run. Mondi Develops Alternative, Sustainable Solution Turkish flavor company Aromsa, whose products include sauces, toppings, extracts and seasonings, was fully committed to its sustainability strategy, but it had also started to work with a new custom- er who wanted to use stainless-steel containers for shipping. Finding An Alternative This would require an investment into approx- imately 250 stainless-steel containers, which is a costly packaging solution. In addition to high price, there are also the logistical costs of storage and maintenance, washing and sterilizing the containers. Mondi was invited to develop an alternative solu- tion and proposed the TankerBox, which Aromsa trialed on their production line. After a few months of close collaboration and innovation at the Arom- sa facilities, the TankerBox was ready for Aromsa’s commercial use. Produced from corrugated cardboard and devel- oped as a substitute for the traditional Intermediate Bulk Container (IBC) and metal barrel, the Tanker- Box has a patented design consisting of five parts: an outer box, inner octabin, angle frame, bottom star and top cover pieces. It offers an intelligent dis- charge system with two alternative design options for discharging either from the top or bottom and is structured to minimize residual contents in the product.
