Meliora Group installed the machine at its Delga Press site
Delga Press operates as a printed packaging business, with gluing and folding forming a key part of the production of packaging items.
The addition of the Heidelberg machine means Delga Press now has four dedicated glue lines for folding box board cartons, meaning it can leave certain lines set up in popular formats.
As a result, the company says expects to increase makeready speeds and to reduce the number of makereadies it needs to produce.
“We chose the Diana in particular as it has the ability to produce smaller cartons than our existing equipment,” explains Sam Grist, commercial director at Delga Press, adding: “Diana has always had a very good reputation in the industry; so after looking at all the options available to us, we decided that this was the best suited to our business needs.
“As always, our staff are excited about a new investment. Operators love to run new machinery. Investing in machinery also shows our intent and commitment to progress, and I think the staff appreciate that.”
The Meliora Group also counts Delga Labels, CSP, Scarbutts Printers and Boxable among its group of brands.
