Skymark took delivery of the Allstein 8+1 Colour Press in the summer

The Allstein 8+1 Colour Press is now in place at the firm’s Scunthorpe facility, boasting a downstream coating that allows Skymark to produce enhanced printing effects on packaging products.

Following the investment, Skymark is now in the process of modifying the layout of its site, with plans for further external expansion to accommodate the new kit.

Paul Neath, operations director at Skymark, comments: “The purchase of this new equipment is allowing us to expand the business and grow in line with our customers’ demands.
