Advanced industrial solution promises to revolutionize Mazurky’s local market for high-graphic, high-volume corrugated packaging and display production

Fremont, CA – Electronics For Imaging, Inc., the global leader in the transformation from analog to digital imaging, has just announced the first sale in Brazil of anEFI™ Nozomi C18000 Plusprinter, the industry-leading single-pass LED UV inkjet digital solution for direct-to-board corrugated packaging and display production.Mazurky Embalagens, the first Brazilian company to invest in this market-leading solution, specializes in the production of corrugated packaging and displays.

Based in São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Brazil, Mazurky was founded in 2004 by young brothers Eduardo and Marcel Mazurkyewistz. The company has made a name for itself in the market through innovation andmodern management, pioneering a series of certifications such as the ISO9001, 14001 and 450001 integrated management systems, together with FSC certification, which certifies products sourced from responsibly managed forests. The new EFI Nozomi printer matches the company’s core values in using best-in-class technology to meet important management and sustainability goals.

“Right from the beginning, our company has always been guided by innovation and good practices – and the Nozomi C18000 Plus fits perfectly within that context,” explained Eduardo Mazurkyewistz, commercial director of the company. “It is an important milestone for our business because there are no single-pass UV printers yet in Brazil. It will provide a great advantage in all sorts of applications in the corrugated packaging and visual communication market.”

Mazurky had previously taken a lead in inkjet printing, investing in digital printers for small-quantity jobs since in 2018. But, the Mazurkyewistz brothers have been on the lookout for a larger-scale, faster print engine.

‘The right equipment for the Brazilian market’

“We found the EFI Nozomi C18000 Plus and saw that it met all the criteria we were looking for, going beyond what we could imagine,” said Marcel Mazurkyewistz, the company’s director of industrial packaging. “We flirted with the idea of buying it for almost the entirety of 2021. We were sure it was the right equipment for the Brazilian market, we just needed to consider it economically because it is a significant investment.”

Mazurky’s EFI Nozomi C18000 Plus UV LED single-pass printer is configured with CMYK, orange, violet, and white inks, giving the company the ability to reproduce up to 97% of PANTONE® Colors. This solution will provide Mazurky with opportunities to deliver superior print quality efficiently and effectively, including highly accurate reproduction of its clients’ brand colors. Even more importantly, this printer, as the very first in Brazil’s packaging industry, promises to revolutionize the sector, bringing greater brand value to clients’ packaging and displays.

“The analog litho-lamination process used today for high-graphic corrugated packaging and displays generates significant waste, from both make-readies and from an outmoded analog financial model that forces production in quantities that are often much larger than what brands want or need,” said Evandro Matteucci, vice president and general manager, Building Materials & Packaging, EFI. “This upcoming EFI Nozomi C18000 Plus installation will give the Brazilian market a new standard for fully recyclable, high-quality corrugated packaging produced in exact quantities needed, with the significant additional benefit of cost-effective versioning and multi-SKU printing – something that will drive greater brand value and product sell-through for Mazurky’s customers.”

The Mazurkyewistz brothers are excited about what this new technology can represent in terms of the diversification of work and market opportunities for the company. “We will be able to meet a latent market demand, which nobody has been able to absorb until now,” Eduardo stated. “The possibilities are immense, and we are priming ourselves in the commercial area, including with the reinforcement of specialized professionals, to take advantage of the new business opportunities that will be created.”

·Mondi has created a recyclable refill pouch enabling Henkel consumers to reduce plastic by 70% and helping Henkel to move closer to its sustainability targets

·Henkel’s Pril hand dishwashing liquid is available in a 100% recycled PET pump dispenser bottle which can be re-used many times using refills packaged in Mondi’s recyclable mono PE refill pouch

·The innovative pouch is light-weight, convenient to use, certified as leak-proof and highly durable even for home deliveries

Mondi, a global leader in packaging and paper, and Henkel are helping consumers to wash dishes more sustainably by creating a completely new reuse packaging concept. The two companies worked together on a packaging solution for Henkel’s hand dishwashing products that allows refilling plastic bottles from flexible pouches. This supports Henkel’s sustainability targets of making 100% of its packaging recyclable or reusable and reducing 50% of fossil-based virgin plastic by 2025.

Since January, consumers can purchase a new keep-at-home refillable pump dispenser with refills in the lightweight, mono-material pouch produced by Mondi. The flexible stand-up pouch reduces plastic by 70% every time it replaces rigid plastic bottles and is easy to recycle where existing infrastructure exists.

Convenient and lighter to carry home, the pouch completely empties thanks to its shaped design, leaving no residue. It is soft touch with a sturdy base so it can easily stand in-store, offering retailers attractive and eye-catching on-shelf appeal while also communicating all the brand information including sustainability benefits. Mondi’s leak-proof pouch is certified according to ISTA 6, providing a highly durable packaging for both in-store and online shopping.

Muriel Joncheray, Global Key Account Manager Consumer Flexibles, Mondi says: “Sustainability is a vital element in the homecare industry and a trend that is shaping the whole market – and rightly so. At Mondi, we have defined sustainability goals that focus on circular driven solutions in our MAP2030 action plan. This includes a target to make 100% of our products reusable, recyclable or compostable by 2025 – just like the recyclable pouch for Henkel. Our EcoSolutions approach meant that we worked very closely with the Henkel team to create the new packaging. While the aim was to provide a solution that helped Henkel reach its sustainability targets, we also needed to ensure the materials and structure would protect the product in transit and on-shelf, preventing leakage and minimising waste.”

Carsten Bertram, Head of Global Packaging Innovation Dishwashing at Henkel added: “At Henkel, we recognize our responsibility related to packaging. We’re committed to driving sustainable packaging and have a set of ambitious targets. Our strategy is based around circular economy and focuses on integrating recycled plastics, reducing the amount of plastic packaging, having reusable packaging and using fully recyclable packaging concepts to close the loop. Mondi was the obvious partner to help us with their expertise in creating the best possible solutions – for the product, the planet and the customer.”

The new packaging concept is being launched for Henkel’s brand Pril in Germany. It has been certified by “Blauer Engel”, the independent ecolabel of the German Federal Government that sets stringent standards for environmentally responsible products and services.

Impact Label was founded in 1964 by William Fogleson Sr. in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  This high-quality custom label printer provides solutions for long-term durable labels and graphic overlays with a wide-array of equipment that includes high-speed narrow web digital printing, high-speed multi-function finishing equipment, wide-format digital, doming, screen printing, flexo printing, optical and mechanical die-cutting, and laminating. Key sectors that they serve include outdoor recreational, agricultural, medical, automotive, electronics, and food.

In October 2020, Impact Label installed the Domino N610i digital UV inkjet label press. 

We recently caught up with the Impact Label team to learn more about their business, why they added digital to their label printing arsenal, and why they chose Domino.

Tell me about Impact Label.   

“At Impact Label, we take great pride in finding solutions and designing products for our customers by working with unique materials and adhesives.  We produce everything from domed labels and graphic overlays for consumer products, to safety and warning labels for industrial applications. We’ve learned that success comes from having the knowledge and experience to truly exceed our clients’ expectations and to solve their unique challenges,” says Abdullah Alyousif, Director of Engineering.

What are your customers’ needs, requirements, and expectations?

Matt Berry, Vice President says, “Our customers require high-quality, durable products with a short lead time.  We are constantly improving our capabilities and investing in new equipment and technologies.”

Why digital?  What were the drivers that made you decide “we need digital”?   

Matt continues, “It was really based on speed, quality, consistency, and cost.  We knew that digital would address those key critical elements that would be a win-win for our customers and Impact Label.”  

Why Domino?  Why did you choose Domino versus any other digital provider?

“We researched various digital printing solutions, and Domino was the best fit for our needs.  Their speed, quality, white opacity, technical knowledge, and commitment are world-class,” says Abdullah.

Matt adds, “After meeting with all the different machine manufacturers, we could really tell that Domino wanted to be a strategic partner. They were ‘what can we do, how can we do it better, and we’ll be there to support you after we sell this press’ and they have definitely held up their end of that.”  

Have you seen any changes in the type of label jobs you run or projects you pursue? 

Matt says, “Yes, absolutely. Since installing the Domino, we are more competitive in full-color labels. We are targeting a more comprehensive range of industries and partnering with other label providers who don’t have the same capabilities.”

What production and business benefits have you experienced from having the Domino N610i?

Lucas Adams, Digital Press Technician says, “Our throughput, our capacity, our uptime, our efficiency… all have increased.” 

“Our make-ready, our turnaround time, our delivery time to our customers… all have decreased,” adds Bashir Toliver Sr., Digital Press Technician.

Matt says, “And we’ve increased our profitability. Our sales and revenue have increased by 13%, we’ve gained new customers, and we’ve entered new industries such as food, beverage, and cannabis.” 

“And the impact of COVID. We’ve noticed an increase in different industries such as medical and outdoor recreational, so being able to produce high-volume with the highest quality, efficiency, and speed without overwhelming the system has been critical.  With Domino, we are capable of handling more with less.” says Abdullah.

Describe the Training, Service & Support from Domino.

Abdullah says, “We are very pleased and satisfied with the quality and service provided by Domino.”

“The training and service are exceptional and world-class.  All our press operators are trained, and they all come ready to work on the press with confidence,” says Matt.

Lucas says, “The prepress training by the Domino Digital Solutions team is incredible. We also had the Sales & Estimating training, which was outstanding.”  Bashir adds, “The training package that Domino provides is truly exceptional.”

Is there a ‘Domino Difference’?

Matt explains, “When we built this building, we were looking at investing in some new equipment and our technology and infrastructure to move forward, so we started talking with a lot of different digital press manufacturers…HP, Durst, Domino…the big players in the industry.  And after a lot of reviewing and meeting with their sales teams and seeing what products they could produce, Domino was the best fit for Impact Label. And I think one of the things that really put them across the finish line was the support that we saw from them, the non-pressure that they weren’t just trying to sell us just to make a sale… they wanted to be there to be a strategic partner with Impact Label.”   

Lucas says, “The Domino Difference for me is the speed, the quality of the product, and their tech support is fantastic. It really makes a difference.  If you have problems they’re resolved quickly and efficiently, and they’re fixed.  It’s a nice piece of equipment.”

Abdullah sums it up. “I believe the Domino Difference is the commitment…the feeling of partnership.  The quality that Domino delivers.  The speed, the efficiency, the capacity.  That is the Domino Difference for Impact.” 

What do you foresee moving forward?

“We have a strategy in place, and we are planning to grow aggressively in the next 5-10 years. We are planning to install new equipment and of course more Domino presses,” says Matt.  Abdullah adds, “Thank you Domino for providing a world-class printing solution, and we are looking forward to partnering more with you in the future.”

Elk Grove Village, IL—SCREEN Americas announces the installation of the Truepress Jet520HD AD to MSP of Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania. The installation of the high-definition inkjet web press with an advanced drying unit, the Truepress Jet520HD AD will join the Truepress Jet520NX in the company’s 100,000 square foot facility. The new SCREEN press replaces MSP’s original Truepress Jet520S and Truepress Jet520ZZ models. With this latest installation, MSP plans on eliminating its offset lithographic equipment entirely. 

The ability to put multiple jobs on one roll combined with a one-touch operation has proven to be both profitable for the printer and beneficial to the customer allowing MSP to effortlessly convert more than 100 of its clients over to SCREEN’s technology. The company’s chief operating officer, Doug Wright, expects that with the installation of the Truepress Jet520HD AD, the few remaining clients he has on lithographic presses will soon make the switch to digital inkjet technology. 

MSP intends to use the Truepress Jet520HD AD to print on envelopes which will add an entirely new service line to the company’s business. The press’ ability to print on a wide variety of both coated and uncoated paper stock along with its variable data capabilities will make it the perfect solution for this application. Wright also plans on expanding his workforce beyond the existing 350 employees to accommodate the new envelope portion of his business. And, with the reduction in offset printing, he has been able to rearrange his labor costs. “Someone can be fully skilled in 60 days on a SCREEN press whereas with an offset press, it takes years for these operators to master what they’re doing,” said Wright.

Founded in 1953, MSP primarily focuses on direct mail marketing for nonprofit organizations. Its operation includes a full-service mailing facility designed to handle large volumes.

About SCREEN Americas
SCREEN Americas, a SCREEN Graphic Solutions group company established in 1967, is a leading provider of digital inkjet technology serving the commercial, publishing, direct mail, transactional, packaging, folding carton and label industries. In 2021, SCREEN Americas relocated its headquarters to Elk Grove Village, Illinois, with an upgrade that included a 14,000-plus square foot Inkjet Innovation Center.

US-based Martin Automatic looks forward to meeting its friends and customers during the 2022 Labelexpo Europe in Brussels. An essential supplier of non-stop unwind, rewind, and tension control equipment to the narrow web flexo and digital printing markets, we will gladly answer your questions about non-stop production and its benefits for your bottom line and carbon footprint.

During the last 24 months, Martin technology has proven even more essential to web printers and converters as many shifted focus to production of PPE or rapidly increased production of labels, pharmaceutical packaging, shrink sleeves, flexible packaging or pouches. Martin helped with these decisions and kept pace with deliveries every step of the way, creatively solving start up and installation issues during restricted travel periods and designing new features and machines based on changing production requirements.

Supply chain disruptions and scarcity of raw materials has emphasized even more the importance of non-stop automation. The more efficient use of raw material and the ease of processing residual rolls have become all the more important and attractive.

Visitors to Stand 7A35 will interact with our popular MBS automated butt splicer and LRD rewinder – machines that have revolutionized label production since 1983 and 1996 respectively. Technology and space saving packages are available for both models to accommodate your most extreme speed and web tension requirements while minimizing tight floor space. Let us explain the patent behind the popular rotary-sheer splice unit and lift and load mechanism on the MBS butt splicer and why automatic roll unloading from the LRD rewind is essential to your productivity and operator convenience.

And what visit to Stand 7A35 would be complete without an American-style hot-dog and beer? We invite you to stop in and tell us about your last 24 months and what your future holds – all while enjoying a respite from the demands of the show. We will listen keenly, and if possible, offer creative solutions to your production and waste management needs.

Finishing attributes include Mark Andy’s high-speed semi-rotary die cutting.

We are excited to showcase the machine for the first time in Europe on our booth at Labelexpo and are looking forward to seeing friends old and new at this year’s event,” he added.

The DSHD is based on Mark Andy’s well-proven Performance Series P7 full-servo platform. It is available in 330mm (13”) and 430mm (17”) web widths and prints with a resolution that exceeds high-definition flexo at speeds up to 73m/min (240 ft/min).  It is the ideal choice for top quality printing across a range of substrates with the added benefit of inline product decoration and converting.

The new DSiQ is a fully integrated inkjet press built on a proven Mark Andy flexo platform. Powered by a robust Domino N610i UV inkjet module, it links digital brainpower with Mark Andy’s converting expertise, and combines all the web handling, flexo printing, product decoration, and converting capability of the Mark Andy Evolution Series platform with the market-proven Domino N600 digital print engine technology.   

Commenting for the show organizer, Labelexpo Managing Director Lisa Milburn stated: “We are delighted to welcome Mark Andy to Labelexpo Europe 2022.  It is very exciting news for our visitors that they will be using the show for the European launch of the new Digital Series IQ platform powered by Domino, alongside the latest version of their Digital Series HD press.”
