Folio took delivery of its new laminator in December
Supplied by Friedheim International, the machine was installed in December and has already had a big impact on the business and the way it operates.
Folio previously had to outsource lamination work as it did not have the capabilities to laminate print in house. However, the Komfi Sagitta 52 will allow Folio to take control of this work from within its own facility.
“I had previously seen the Komfi Delta 52 running and was very impressed, but we decided to go for the Komfi Sagitta 52 because of its price, faster running speed, footprint, reliability, make ready times and its ease of running,” says Richard Hughes, managing director of Folio.
“Financially, purchasing the new Komfi Sagitta 52 was a no-brainer for us. We spend over £50,000 a year on outsourcing lamination work and this investment will pay for itself within a year.”
“Producing lamination in house also means that we save on transport costs and reduce turnaround times, allowing us to take on more work and increase capacity. Our customers are also happier that we can now laminate in house instead of having to send the cover out for lamination.
“Having the laminator will enable us to expand our customer base, take on more work, give us more flexibility and take in-house control of both the quality and the finished product.”
