Founded in 1992, Syrgraf in Barcelona, Spain, is dedicated to label production and employs 18 experienced professionals who are committed to deliver quality and excellent customer service. The company has recently installed a Xeikon 3500 digital press with DCoat500 finishing unit.
Syrgraf has a strong presence in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the cosmetics and personal care, food and textile sectors, with a solid reputation as a label provider that provides timely solutions to the changing needs of its customers.
‘The only limit to the new applications now possible with digital printing technology is imagination,’ commented Rafael Millaruelo, marketing director at Syrgraf, referring to the benefits it can offer its customers thanks to the installation of the new Xeikon equipment.
The cost effectiveness of short runs was one of the main economic motivations for the purchase of the new equipment. However, the decision was also influenced by the capability of digital technology to increase service agility and versatility, reduce response time and offer a wide range of new applications. Another important factor in the decision was the new possibility to include security elements on labels. These security features make it more difficult to duplicate or falsify labels, a feature that Sygraf’s customers in the pharmaceutical industry demand.
The Xeikon 3500 is noted for its variable roll width, which ranges from 250 mm to 516 mm, and for its speed up to 19.2 m/min. These features allow production volumes up to 594 sqm/hr. The extended capacity of the newly purchased Xeikon press at Syrgraf will be supported by a DCoat 500 inline finishing unit, designed for UV varnishing, lamination, semi-rotary die-cutting, slitting and rewinding.
‘The Xeikon 3500 convinced us by its performance, its high resolution and its excellent colour capabilities – which are all aspects that will allow us to handle even the most demanding jobs without any problems,’ concluded manager José Luis Muñiz.
