The machine will be installed at the West Bromwich-based company's new facility, where it has also installed a BHS corrugator to become a fully integrated corrugated packaging producer.

Managing director Jitha Singh said: "We have seen the demand for die-cut boxes increase every year. To make sure that we could keep up with this growth we needed to invest in a highly productive machine.

"As a company, we have a long-term vision of where we want to go and having a fully integrated plant means that we can compete at all levels in the market, as well as having the flexibility to provide fast turnaround of orders."

The flatbed die-cutter can handle materials ranging from nano and micro-flutes to double-wall and litho-laminated sheets. It runs at up to 4,500 sheets per hour, with make-ready in under 10 minutes.
