Kissel+Wolf Australia and Opal Specialty Packaging have delivered a fully integrated digital packaging workflow, establishing a new benchmark for speed, flexibility, and quality in short/medium run corrugated and carton board print production.

The fully integrated digital packaging workflow for the corrugated and carton board market is now operational across four sites in Australia and New Zealand.

“Opal has always been at the forefront of investing in the key area of time to market, on demand print, and quality of service and product,” said Jamie Weller, managing director at Kissel+Wolf Australia.

“Their reputation and focus on customer satisfaction is even further advanced with the installation of multiple digital print systems from Kissel+Wolf, and its ability to deliver quality print, at speed, and deliver fully completed campaigns from multiple cities and locations is second to none.

“Bringing design, print, cutting, gluing with full automation as a one stop end to end process enables flexibility, productivity and real advantages for both customers and sales resources.”

The products include Hanway digital inkjet corrugated presses for high-quality, short to medium-run printing ideal for customised packaging solutions, Iecho digital cutting tables for a wide variety of packaging and display applications, and the Esko Automation Engine for workflow management.

“Partnering with world-leading technology providers, Kissel+Wolf brings a dynamic portfolio of equipment and expertise to customers looking to modernise and innovate their packaging production,” Weller added.

“Our focus when sourcing our partners is not just about the quality of the product, it is also around the value and investment strategy. We take a consultative approach when listening to our customers.

“Return on investment, the total cost of ownership and ‘the right fit’ for expansion and growth are equally as important. Sustainability, environment and general market awareness around trends and brand direction should always be considered.”

A testimonial video has been released, which sees representatives from Opal share concrete results and observations from working with the full Kissel+Wolf solution. Check out the video below.
