MRP Invests in Cutting-Edge Laminator Technology
As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing our capabilities, we are thrilled to announce the installation of our new Lamina Fasline Edge 1116 FLE Mounter/Laminator, which replaces our previous Fengchi High-Speed Laminator.
This advanced machine offers increased versatility, productivity with up to 8,000 sheets per hour, sheet-to-sheet mounting of paper to board and board to board, whether solid or corrugated and with full servo control, it ensures edge-to-edge registration accuracy of less than 1mm and automatic feeding. It can seamlessly mount two sheets of board of varying thicknesses or paper to board. It is also capable of mounting various substrates to both open and closed-faced corrugated board.
Equipped with an in-line 'Flip Flop Stacker’ system, it automatically flips sheets to prevent curling without compromising speed—a task that was previously done manually, impacting output.
Stephen Bates Managing Director said “We believe this new addition will offer better options to our clients, reduce turnaround times, and open doors to new markets. With the growing demand for subscription boxes, our clients are increasingly seeking environmentally friendly alternatives to plastic packaging.”
All CAD design, printing, mounting, die-cutting, and gluing are carried out at our Nottingham facility. Additionally, we provide full self-adhesive label and ribbon printing, ensuring consistent colour quality across all printed products.
To stay ahead in technology, we have also recently invested in the state-of-the-art Sanwa 1060 S.C.B. Axia blacking and die-cutting press, along with two advanced packers for our gluing machines.
Midland Regional Printers is committed to exceptional quality and service, holding ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and FSC certifications. We are also carbon footprint certified, and for every order placed, we plant a tree to support sustainability. With a modern, fully integrated facility, we are equipped to stay versatile and meet the changing needs of our customers.
