Folienprint Adds Two Bobst 20SIX Flexo Printing Presses Folienprint, located in Gallin, Germany, has installed two new type “20SIX” central cylinder printing ma- chines from Bobst. The new 10-color machines have a web width of 1,100 mm and a maximum repeat length of 800 mm at a maximum production speed of 400 meters per minute. “Sustainability is an important pillar of our compa- ny philosophy,” said Doris Erhardt-Freitag, Managing Director of Folienprint.“That applies not only to our products but also to the production machines that we employ. When we bought the new machines, it

was therefore vitally important to us that they were equipped with state-of-the-art technology for reduc- ing waste and boosting energy efficiency.” That is why both machines boast the smartGPS graphics positioning system, which was developed by Bobst, and are also fitted with the LEO (Low Ener- gy Operation) system.
