Landa has installed the S10 Nanographic printing press at Chinese packaging specialist Nine Stars Printing at its Shenzhen facility.
The company is using its new Landa S10 press to widen its product offering to customers, while also streamlining production by replacing traditional analogue short to medium-run packaging jobs with a cost effective, profitable, and waste reducing digital printing process.
Nine Stars Printing believes that nanography will revolutionise the Chinese packaging market. Engineered for the packaging and converting industries, the single-sided B1 (41 in. / 1,050 mm) format Landa S10 nanographic printing press enables just-in-time mainstream efficiency for the production of folding carton and POP/POS. The Landa S10 press prints at a speed of 6500 sheets per hour on standard offset papers and substrates in thickness from 4-32 pt. (0.06-0.8 mm).
Liu Wen Heng, general manager of Nine Stars Printing, said, ‘We pride ourselves on adopting market leading technology, and the Landa S10 is one of the most exciting and transformative solutions to enter the market for generations.”
‘We’re confident that the Landa S10 with its B1 digital format, high print speed and incredible color capabilities, will provide earlier adopters like us with a very valuable competitive advantage. Importantly, the Landa S10 will enable us to change our business model and offer a range of profitable new services – increasing our value to customers – and ultimately, in close partnership with Landa, transition the Chinese printing industry to a more sustainable and future proofed technology.’
Established in 1989, Nine Stars Printing was ranked 49th in China’s top 100 printing companies of 2021. Supporting markets including pharmaceutical, electronics, personal care and food markets, the company provides a range of folding carton and label printing services from three production facilities in Longgang (Shenzhen), Shanghai and Benxi. The new Landa S10 was installed at the Longgang facility in a new and decorated digital printing center.
Gil Oron, CEO of Landa Digital Printing, added, ‘China is such an exciting market for us, and we’re delighted to have Nine Stars Printing as another customer in the region. They are a very well-run business with an experienced and dynamic management team, and a clear vision for the future of the industry and nanography’s role within it. We look forward to working with them over the coming weeks and months, and to further broadening our install base in this phenomenal region.’
