Investing in the Future: Our New Folder-Gluer Installation

At Midland Regional Printers Ltd, we are committed to continually improving our capabilities to better serve our customers. As part of that commitment, we are pleased to announce the recent investment in a new DGM TechnoFold 1100 folder-gluer and automated packing line, a significant step forward for our production efficiency and flexibility.

In today’s fast-paced packaging environment, the gluing department is central to delivering high-quality cartons on time. As demand grows for shorter lead times, increasingly complex formats, and a wider range of substrates, we identified the need to enhance our operation to stay ahead of customer expectations.

Our decision to invest was driven by a clear objective: to streamline make-ready times, improve throughput, and increase overall versatility. With a growing mix of short runs and repeat jobs, it became essential to introduce equipment that could support faster changeovers without compromising on quality.

The TechnoFold 1100 stood out as the ideal solution. Its servo-driven technology allows for precise control and job recall, significantly reducing set-up times and enabling smoother transitions between jobs. This is particularly valuable for repeat work, where consistency and efficiency are key.

Another major advantage is the machine’s flexibility across substrates and formats. Whether working with folding boxboard or corrugated materials such as E-flute, the TechnoFold is designed to handle a wide variety of carton styles, including straight line, crash lock, and multi-corner boxes. This ensures we can continue to meet diverse customer requirements while maintaining high production standards.

The modular design of the machine also provides future-proofing for our business. As our needs evolve, the system can be expanded with additional features, allowing us to scale our capabilities without the need for a complete replacement.

Equally important in our decision was the level of support behind the technology. With strong technical backing, readily available spare parts, and experienced UK-based service support, we are confident in the reliability and longevity of this investment.

Installation is scheduled shortly, and we are excited about the opportunities this new equipment will bring. From improved efficiency to enhanced product quality, this investment reinforces our commitment to delivering exceptional packaging solutions.

We look forward to sharing further updates once the machine is fully operational.
