Our casemaker and our customers

One key machine in our portfolio is the Latitude two colour print case maker.

Installed just a few years ago, it allows is to maximise our production capabilities and offer an option to those customers seeking high volume printed cases.

But how does it work and which customers can benefit from the casemaker.

How does our casemaker work?

The Latitude casemaker operates through a series of sophisticated processes designed to ensure precision and efficiency.

The entire operation of the Latitude casemaker is controlled by a state-of-the-art computer system, which monitors each stage of the process and makes real-time adjustments as needed. This ensures that the final product meets the highest standards of quality and durability. Operated by skilled operatives, there are many parts to the manufacturing process from ink mixing, fitting of cutting forms, feeding the board and palletising the finished good.

Initially, sheets of corrugated board are fed into the machine where they are aligned and positioned accurately. The two-colour printing  then applies vibrant, high-quality graphics onto the surface of the boards. This is achieved using advanced flexographic printing technology, which ensures that each print is sharp and consistent.

Once printed, the boards move through the cutting section where they are precisely cut into the desired shapes and sizes. The cutting mechanism is adjustable, allowing for customisation based on specific customer requirements allowing bespoke solutions to be manufactured.

After cutting, the boards are folded and glued to form the finished product. The folding process is automated to maintain uniformity and reduce the risk of errors.

How does a casemaker benefit our customers?

Any casemaker Latitude offers numerous benefits to our customers, particularly those with high-volume packaging needs.

The ability to produce large quantities of printed cases swiftly and accurately means that customers can rely on us for timely deliveries, even for bulk orders. This efficiency is crucial for businesses that operate on tight schedules and need consistent supply to avoid production slowdowns.

Moreover, the high-quality printing capabilities of the Latitude casemaker ensure that the branding and graphics on the cases are always vibrant and clear. This is essential for customers who require their packaging to make a strong visual impact, whether on retail shelves or during transportation. The precision of the printing technology also means that even intricate designs and fine details are reproduced accurately, enhancing the overall appearance of the product.

With adjustable cutting and folding mechanisms, we can tailor cases to meet the specific dimensions and structural requirements of our customers. This flexibility allows us to cater to a wide range of industries, from food and beverage to electronics and consumer goods, providing bespoke solutions to suit individual customer requirements.
