Pouches.co.uk installs HP Indigo 20000 digital press

Pouches.co.uk have installed the HP Indigo 20000 digital press, with 25k upgrades, to improve capacity and flexibility in its offerings, while providing high-quality products manufactured on demand.

Based in Wolverhampton, Pouches.co.uk, Asteria Group (formerly CS Pouches) is a leading digitally printed label manufacturer in the UK with five years of pouch-making experience, and a wealth of knowledge of printing and forming pouches with other digital technologies.

With the digital flexible market continuing to grow at a rapid pace, this installation will help Pouches.co.uk continue to keep up with demand while still providing packaging of the highest quality to their customers. 

The company opted to purchase the HP Indigo 20000 digital press with 25k upgrades due to its width of 760mm, so it can produce the majority of the pouch sizes manufactured across all market sectors. In addition, HP’s combination of CMYKW + OVG has enabled Pouches.co.uk to utilize this extended color gamut.

In terms of sustainability credentials, Pouches.co.uk explains that this new HP product fits in with its sustainability goals, as it uses little heat during the print process, allowing them to offer pouches printed on a monolayer film, which is ideal for recyclability.

 Speaking on this investment announcement, Paul Humpage, sales director/co-managing director at Pouches.co.uk says that this installation will, ‘add additional capacity and flexibility to our current digital pouch solution. We have seen some fantastic results from the HP already, it really complements the other printing, laminating and conversion machinery we have also invested in.’
