US packaging solutions vendor Valco Melton is installing its inline gluing systems at Newsprinters’s UK print sites.
Nine inline applicators on the triple-wide manroland presses at Broxbourne, Knowsley and Eurocentral will allow production of superpanorama and gatefolded products for high impact promotions in The Times, The Sunday Times, the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph.
The supplier’s UK sales manager Mat Garner says the News subsidiary is one of a growing number of publishing groups in Europe and Asia using their systems. Headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, Valco Melton specialises in the manufacturing, packaging and sealing of items such as corrugated boxes and cartons across 12 markets.
