FlexoTech Finalists 2024

FlexoTech Awards Finalists 2024

/in

We had an exceptional evening attending the prestigious FlexoTech Awards, hosted by Whitmar Publications, in the heart of London last Thursday night.

This year marks a significant milestone for us as it is the fifth time we have been honoured as finalists, and we are beyond thrilled to be recognised in the highly competitive Environmentally Sustainable Company – Production category. This recognition underscores our ongoing commitment to sustainability and innovation within the industry, and we could not be prouder of our team’s efforts.

The awards ceremony was held at The Royal Lancaster London, an absolutely stunning venue that added an extra layer of elegance and grandeur to the event. The evening began with a warm reception, where guests were welcomed with champagne, setting the tone for a night filled with anticipation and celebration. We were then treated to an exquisite three-course meal, where the artistry of fine dining perfectly complemented the atmosphere of the evening.

The highlight of the night, of course, was the announcement and presentation of the awards. It was truly an honour to be among such esteemed company, and the recognition reaffirmed our dedication to environmental and sustainable production practices.

We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Your encouragement and belief in our vision have played an integral role in our continued success. We are already looking forward to next year’s event and are excited about the possibility of further contributing to the future of sustainable packaging.

A special thanks to Graeme Swann, who delivered a captivating speech and announced the awards. His presence added a unique charm to the evening, making it a night to remember.

Here’s to many more years of innovation, sustainability, and success!

Breast Cancer UK Calendar

Heyford Fields Marina Calendar for Breast Cancer UK

/in

We are thrilled to present this wonderful calendar, thoughtfully organised by Sue Winters in support of Breast Cancer UK.

The remarkable women featured are all part of Heyford Fields Marina. Creating this calendar involved a lot of time, dedication, and plenty of fun during the photo sessions—helped along by a few glasses of Prosecco for some added courage!

The calendar was beautifully designed by the talented Matt McDonald, and we then printed a sample copy for approval. After it was approved, we proudly donated the printing, and GM Finishing generously provided the wiro binding.

It has been a true pleasure to collaborate with Sue and Bob on this project, and we are incredibly proud to support such a worthy cause. Being Breast Cancer Awareness Month makes this extra special!

To purchase a calendar (£7.50 each), please contact us or Robert Winters.

Mounter - MRP

MRP invests in the latest state-of-the-art Laminator

/in

In-line with our continued investment plan, we are excited to announce the recent installation of our Fengchi High-Speed Laminator – GW-1450L, which replaces our previous Lamina Laminator. This machine offers greater versatility, productivity and efficiency. It is specifically designed for sheet-to-sheet mounting of paper to board and board to board, both solid and corrugated.

With a running speed in excess of 10,000 sheets per hour, this laminator has the ability to mount two sheets of board together in various thicknesses as well as paper to board. It can also mount various substrates to open or closed-faced corrugated board. The laminator has full servo control with edge-to-edge registration accuracy and automatic feeding.

The machine also comes with a ‘Flip Flop Stacker’ that automatically turns the sheets to prevent curling, with no effect on running speed, something that was previously completed manually and did adversely affect the machine output.

We believe that this machine will provide better options to our clients, improve turnaround times, and also create opportunities in new markets. Subscription boxes are on the rise, and our clients are increasingly looking for environmentally friendly options, moving away from plastic packaging.

All CAD design, printing, mounting, die-cutting, and gluing take place at our Nottingham site. We also offer full self-adhesive label and ribbon printing, maintaining colour consistency across all your printed products.

To keep up with the latest technologies, we have also recently invested in the state-of-the-art Sanwa 1060 S.C.B. Axia blacking and die-cutting press and two advanced packers for the gluing machines.

Midland Regional Printers are committed to quality and service, holding both the ISO 9001 and 14001 accreditations, as well as FSC certified. We also plant trees for every order received. We take pride in the company’s structure, staying up-to-date with technology, and our fully integrated plant, which enables us to be versatile and meet customer requirements.
