KYMC described the Moduflex as a "servo-driven, electronic line-shaft press providing fast register set-up and tight register tolerances vertically or horizontally inline with multiple printing and converting machinery".

The modular configuration has options including flexo, gravure and offset stations and rotary or flatbed die-cutting, it added.

Tetra Pak has been using its Moduflex for aseptic packaging, according to KYMC general manager John Pan.

He told Drupa Report Daily: "It’s a modular concept, so we can almost build the press the way the customer wants it. It’s very operator-friendly and has very quick changeover."

Most of the Taiwanese manufacturer’s machines are customised to suit customers’ markets, he said.

Pan said that policy had resulted in the sale of a gearless flexo press on 8 May for a seven-figure sum.

The French company bought the Euroflex because KYMC – unlike its European rivals – was prepared to modify it, he said.

Most of KYMC’s machines cost less than $2m, Pan said.

"We can offer high-quality equipment at a much lower barrier of entry," he added.

"They’re going to get a quicker return on investment and that’s where we see KYMC being a leader."
