SoOPAK, a leading North American short run offset packaging specialist, has increased output in its post-press department with the installation in late June of a new MK Promatrix 106 CS diecutting and embossing system.
“As a specialist in short run packaging, SoOPAK takes great pride in its ability to deliver fast turnaround times for our diverse customer base,” says YaJun (Carol) Jiang, President. “In our effort to continually meet and exceed the expectations of our customers, we are always investing in our business with new technology. The MK Promatrix 106 CS provides us with additional speed and efficiency to deliver faster turnaround times and is able to output more orders at 8,000 sheets per hour with short setup times as opposed to our older system that could output 7,700 sheets per hour.”
SoOPAK is using its new system to cut excess paper, produce custom dies, and fabricate embossing details for its customer’s print packaging projects. The new Promatrix 106 CS’s ability to handle substrates from 65-lb text to 48-pt board and offer a maximum sheet size of 29.92 x 41.7-inch provides greater flexibility. The cutting section on the machine contains a thin plate and micro adjustment in which no hand tools are needed to unlock the cutting tools.
