Promatrix 106 CSB - professional die-cutter with blanking

Early in 2019, following a visit to the Heidelberg factory in Germany, Ultragraph purchased a Promatrix 106 CSB die-cutter (with cutting, stripping, blanking), in view of increasing the speed and flexibility of its die-cutting production.

The company started a move into packaging around 2012, has been expanding dramatically since 2016, and plans to continue to further grow this side of the business. E-Liquid packaging products account for about 40 % of Ultragraph’s packaging activities, but the company also handles cartons and packaging for automotive, household, telecoms and banking products, as well as for non-food contacting packaging. This includes cartons, wraps, card carriers, wallets, and loyalty or gift card packaging.

“The equipment we had prior to the Promatrix took us into professional packaging, but we were limited by the thickness of material we could cut (500 micrometer, 0.02 in). Taking heavier stocks was old fashioned and involved lots of guillotining and hand stripping,” says Nick Jones, Managing Director of Ultragraph. “Now we have cutting, stripping and blanking in one pass for a much wider range of stocks, and with a higher output. The Promatrix has at least doubled our die-cutting capacity, and will eliminate a proportion of the expensive tooling costs associated with rotary die-cutting.”

Ultragraph reviewed die-cutters from several manufacturers before coming down in favor of the Heidelberg model. The company also handles commercial work, operating a Speedmaster XL 75-10-P, and has a design facility including sample-making capability. It is on track to achieve its ISO 9001 quality and ISO 14001 environmental certification as well as the BRC standard to allow the company to handle more food jobs.
