Mapleleaf Printing, one of Nigeria's leading label and packaging converters, has invested in a Hontec FlexiCon460-8C flexo press to significantly boost its production capabilities, particularly in the demanding area of laminated tube printing.

Mapleleaf Printing, one of the key players in the Nigerian printing sector, specializes in laminated tube printing. Aluminum barrier laminate (ABL) and plastic barrier laminate (PBL) tubes make up a substantial 80 percent of its output. To meet the stringent requirements of this high-volume segment, Mapleleaf opted for Hontec's FlexiCon460-8C, an advanced 8-color flexo press specifically engineered for laminated tube applications.

The FlexiCon460-8C is renowned for its tension control, ensuring precise registration and consistent high-speed performance. The press is also equipped with an integrated non-stop unwind/rewind system, which minimizes downtime and maximizes productivity, offering a complete and highly efficient technology perfect for Mapleleaf’s requirements.
