The site has been developed by\u00a0Sacchital\u2019s\u00a0management team with support from Emilio Alliegro,\u00a0sales manager\u00a0of flexible packaging at Bobst Italia.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sacchital\u00a0Group executive board member Alberto\u00a0Palaveri\u00a0stated:\u00a0\u201cThis new site is designed to accommodate four\u00a0flexo\u00a0machines and related technologies and is at the\u00a0centre\u00a0of\u00a0Sacchital\u2019s\u00a0growth plans.\u00a0It\u00a0represents\u00a0an ambitious\u00a0flexo\u00a0enhancement programme aimed at serving an increasingly differentiated and fragmented market more effectively and at a lower cost.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new press is designed to respond to growing requirements for speed, flexibility and sustainability across different substrates, ink systems and finishing processes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The VISION CI is configured to handle both short and long production runs and includes automated functions aimed at reducing setup times, improving repeatability and limiting waste<\/p>\n

The press is fitted with BOBST\u2019s\u00a0smartGPS\u00a0(Graphic Positioning System), which is intended to cut setup times and reduce material and ink waste during job changes.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The press can\u00a0operate\u00a0with both solvent-based and water-based inks through separate washing circuits.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sacchital\u00a0is also working with BOBST specialists to refine production workflows and plans to introduce seven-colour extended colour gamut (ECG) printing.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

ECG is expected to contribute to gains in productivity, cost efficiency, colour\u00a0consistency\u00a0and sustainability, while also supporting downstream processes including finishing, varnishing and heat sealing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

BOBST flexible packaging marketing and communication manager Sara Alexander\u00a0added:\u00a0\u201cEverything is moving fast: processes, innovation, people, communication.\u00a0People no longer have time, and customers want quick answers in every sector.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sacchital\u00a0Group specialises in paper-based flexible packaging and has been active in the sector for more than eight decades.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The group reports annual revenue of \u20ac140m\u00a0($164.4m), with around half generated from exports to markets including Europe, the\u00a0US\u00a0and North Africa.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

It employs 400 staff across five production sites, with the\u00a0Sacchital\u00a0operation in\u00a0Pregnana\u00a0Milanese described as the original and core plant.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Total group output capacity is\u00a0600 million square metres, produced across facilities covering 350,000m\u00b2.\u00a0<\/p>\n
