September 26, 2019After recent investment success in a
large format high-speed digital printer and digital cutting machines, Mal
McGowan Owner at McGowan’s saw the demand for environmentally friendly, plastic
free/void fill conscious packaging to protect their goods in transit to the end
Customer.
Mal comments; “For 25 years we have been the go-to digital printing company for
Irelands businesses. We now operate on over 25 digital presses working on a
vast amount of substrates manufacturing quantities from 1 to thousands. The
Kolbus-Autobox enables us to turn a specialised printed job from design to
print, conversion, assembly and packaged in a record time. We’ve effectively taken
out another link in the supply chain. The Autobox forms a strategic part
of our business plan that goes hand in hand with customers’ demands for printed
shorter run, bespoke, quicker turn-around, personalised, printed products.
He continues; “The thing we liked most about the Autobox was its ability to set
within 60 seconds from 1 job to the next. We ran a batch of 700, 0411 style
boxes within an hour and had the printed product out that afternoon. We now
have the exact sized box, reducing our packaging costs considerably. We are
aiming to eliminate the shipping of air as well as reducing our costs/usage on
plastic, protective packaging.
