Another 700 in the bag

Every day in shopping malls and high streets across the world there is evidence of the Manroland success story.

Colourking Printing, based in China, produce those wonderful high-end branded bags for the likes of Gucci and Hugo Boss, to enable customers to proudly carry their designer goods home.

Eight million bags of all shapes and sizes and made from various types of paper roll off their Manroland presses every month. That’s an awful lot of bags- and the company have found that by utilizing the flexibility of the five-colour ROLAND 700 with coating in format 3B+ they were able to improve productivity by a massive 20 per cent!

The 3B+ is a huge boost for packaging printers. For example, the bigger sheet sizing allows Colourking to print 12 bags instead of ten from the same amount of paper - and to cope with odd sizes their clients demand.

After years of growth, and a new plant of more than 220,000 square feet, the company have become high- end packaging specialists with a full range of services and product categories, including luxury paper carrying bags, gift boxes and Christmas cards.

Mr Ling Long, Managing Director of the company based in Shenzhen, says excitedly: “The new installation of the ROLAND 700 in format 3B+ has improved our print quality, productivity and saved production costs.”
