Picourt Group announces two new investments to boost capacity
The Etiq'Alp site welcomes a new HP digital press, designed to guarantee exceptional colorimetric accuracy and high-quality prints. Capable of reproducing all Pantones, it enhances the range of products on offer with fluorescent and metallic inks and luminescent varnishes, perfect for a variety of applications: self-adhesive labels, shelf strips, edge bands and paper flowpacks. This technology, which complies with food standards, opens up new prospects in the food and retail sectors.
The Valmy site is equipped with a KBA offset press, combining traditional and UV printing. This hybrid tool is ideal for demanding projects, whether for folding cartons, laminated substrates or solid board packaging. Its ability to produce short and medium runs with instant colorimetric control guarantees high performance and enhanced flexibility.
