OMET CLINCHES FIRST X-FLEX SALE IN ICELAND
Tuesday 22. April 2008 - Following its successful launch at Labelexpo 2007 in Brussels, Omets new X-Flex line is drawing attention from label converters around the world.
The latest to appreciate what this groundbreaking flexo press has to offer is PMT, one of the leading label printing companies in Iceland.
The order for an X-Flex line, due for delivery in June 2008, was secured after convincing print trails undertaken at Omets Demo Centre in Lecco, Italy. Substrates from film to light cartonboard were run through the X-Flex using very low screen values. In each case the press exceeded PMTs expectations.
According to PMTs Managing Director Oddur Sigurdsson:
“We tested a number of presses and there was no doubt that the X-Flex performed the best. Iceland is a remote market with a wide variety of special requirements, so we needed the best flexibility available to make the investment worthwhile. After our visit to Omet, we were convinced that the X-Flex is the right press for PMT.”
When fully commissioned in the summer, PMTs new X-Flex will offer 6 colour UV capability, with movable cold-foil, delam-relam, and turner bars on an overhead rail system, shock air system for windows patching, and a revolutionary 2-ply self-adhesive coupon label.
