The new Koenig & Bauer press will be operating beside a used 2010 Flexotecnica XD eight-colour press, which was installed in 2019. At the end of this phase, PEI Bag will be operating two flexo printing presses from Koenig & Bauer. The new eight-colour XG LR will print a large portion of PEI’s larger repeat bags, but the firm will continue to use the 2010 press for its other for smaller repeat jobs. Management foresees the new XG LR producing 50-60% of the firm’s work due to its high speed, increased flexibility, and faster automated wash-ups and clean-ups.
