At drupa 2024 from 28 May to 7 June, UK-based anilox manufacturer Sandon Global will demonstrate its 20 years of experience in anilox technology and expertise in flexographic printing. The company will be present in Hall 15, Stand A12. The company will be present in Hall 15, Stand A12.
During the event, the company will present solutions that tackle common print challenges with award-winning results, whilst also improving its customers’ operational efficiencies and driving down costs.
Sandon Global’s technical experts will be on hand to present innovative engravings including its Xpro, GMX Anilox, HVP and Fluid FP designed to overcome print hurdles such as scorelines, tricky coating applications, excess anilox inventories and pinholing. The company claims that these alternative engravings promise greater precision, quality, and consistency compared to standard 60° cell designs, resulting in improved efficiencies and cost savings for printers.
Other highlights include showcasing the company’s patented anilox sleeve construction system (Pat. EP3368317B1 and Pat. US11059284) designed to prolong sleeve life, strategies for how to overcome challenges in water-based flexo printing on film and promoting its unique EDT sealing for oxidation (substrate corrosion) resistance. With one of the largest lasers in Europe, corrugated print customers can also learn more about the company’s laser capabilities with its impressive 6-meter engraving length.
As part of its drupa plans, and demonstrating its quest for continuous improvement, Sandon Global has collaborated with its OEM partner, SOMA, to design a bespoke end ring embedded with an RFID chip. Soma’s automatic mounting devices communicate both registration and plate impression settings to the press using the RFID chip, which aids identification and digitizes the entire flexographic print process. Attendees can visit the Soma stand 15/A01 to watch live print demos and find out more.
With a new German office, Sandon Global, established in 2023 to allow easier trading with the EU, as a DFTA member Sandon Global will participate in drupa’s official Packaging Printing Technology and Innovation Tour led by Anke Frieser Tausch, technical head of the DFTA Technology Center.
“We are looking forward to presenting our latest company developments and to participating in some exciting industry initiatives and live demonstrations at drupa 2024,” said Richard Millington, managing director of Sandon Global.
Richard continued, “Our decades of industry experience and technical know-how enable us to push the boundaries of what is possible in flexo printing. We are eager to share our expertise with visitors and discuss how we can help printers worldwide in overcoming technical print challenges, increasing efficiencies, reducing costs, and achieving exceptional print quality.”
