Al Sidra, a Sharjah-based commercial printer, has expanded into packaging with a Lombardi Flexoline and Vinsak Flexo Tower from Secure Print
Al Sidra clinched the deal with Secure Print Equipment Suppliers FZE on the third day of Gulf Print & Pack 2013.
The Flexoline is a five-colour press for printing self-adhesive, light board, film, card, plastic and other packaging labels.
The Vinsak Flexo Tower is a plate exposing and cleaning system for solvent and water washable photopolymer plates.
Al Sidra Managing Director P Joseph said the firm is shifting to new sector as “commercial printing is being slow whereas packaging is a good space to be in”.
“We used to be in computer form printing for a long time and now it’s time to entering into packaging as well,” he said.
“Since we maintain a good client base across UAE, Muscat and Oman it will be an easy entry for us.”
While many similar machines are available, the Flexoline and Flexo Tower stood out for their features and print quality, he added.
“The Lombardi Flexoline and Vinsak Flexo Tower are very good, economical and high-end machines,” he said.
