FlexiPack Packaging installs Hontec FlexiCon460-7C

Israeli flexible packaging specialist FlexiPack has invested in a new Hontec FlexiCon460-7C to enhance efficiency, sustainability and print quality. This investment marks Hontec’s entry into the flexible packaging market.

Israeli packaging converter has marked a milestone for the Chinese printing press manufacturer as this is the first installation of its wider web machinery.

The FlexiCon460-7C is engineered for optimal drying performance and energy efficiency. It features two long-path hot air dryers: one in the first station for primer application and another in the last station for varnish coating.

It also boasts seven LED UV-equipped stations with advanced LED UV curing systems that can significantly reduce energy consumption and carbon footprint, offering an eco-friendly alternative to conventional curing technologies.

Combining hot air drying with LED UV curing, the FlexiCon460-7C ensures proper adhesion, high-speed production and premium print quality, making it a suitable choice for high-demand flexible packaging applications.

‘This installation is a major milestone for Hontec, marking its breakthrough into the flexible packaging market with flexographic printing. It underscores the company’s capabilities in delivering high-performance, sustainable products for packaging manufacturers. Hontec is honored to support FlexiPack’s growth and is excited to expand its presence in this dynamic sector,’ said the company in a statement.
