Jaymar Packaging, a UK-based carton board product packaging manufacturer, has purchased Visionfold 110 A2 folder-gluer from Bobst to increase the flexibility of its operations.

The investment in the new Bobst folder-gluer machine follows the family-owned company’s purchase of an adjacent 11,000ft² site at Crewe Gates Industrial Estate in Cheshire.

Scheduled for delivery in September 2020, the new Visionfold 110 A2 multi-purpose machine will allow Jaymar to handle a wide range of packaging including cartons, sleeves, four-corner trays and litho-laminated work.

Jaymar Packaging director Craig Street said: “We have been thinking about investing in a new folder-gluer for about 18 months after gaining new customers and seeing existing accounts grow.

“The new machine will complement our existing BOBST folder-gluer portfolio and bring greater flexibility and versatility to our production lines.

“We believe that once in place, it will save a lot of time in terms of make-readies and enable us to run some of our larger jobs to completion which isn’t always possible currently.”

Amid the Covid-19 outbreak, Jaymar has donated hundreds of boxes to package food parcels to Cheshire East Council.

Bobst UK & Ireland area sales manager Lee Alton said: “VISIONFOLD was the perfect choice for Jaymar thanks to its ability to handle a wide variety of packaging types.”

Capable of processing a wide range of packaging formats, the Visionfold 110 A2 machine is claimed to be highly adaptable.

In addition to delivering a stable and precise fold at high speeds, the machine is durable and offers a choice of left, right or simultaneous folding for operators.

Street added: “As we already have three folder-gluers from the company, we will be able to integrate the new one seamlessly into production with minimal training time.”

In 2019, UK-based Bridger Packaging has purchased two Bobst machines to increase capacity and drive efficiency.
