NDigitec, a leading UAE-based creative production company, recently reinforced its ties with Switzerland’s Bobst, a leading supplier of machinery and services to the packaging industry, at the Gulf Print &Pack 2017 exhibition, held earlier this year, in Dubai, UAE.

Hagop Tavitian, Bobst-Lyon export manager, Middle East and Africa (MEA) region, said: “NDigitec’s pre-press operation is one of the few in the Gulf region that can produce the high definition flexo plates that unlock the full potential of the advanced BOBST high speed flexographic presses.”

NDigitec produces plates for customers working in the label, corrugated and flexible packaging markets and has over 50 per cent market share in the UAE and Gulf region, said a statement from the company.

It uses digital flexo plate making equipment from leading global flexo pre-press software and digital plate making equipment suppliers from across the world. NDigitec is the first trade house in the GCC area to be awarded full HD Flexo Certification by Esko. This marks the highest quality standard for digital plate making, it said.

Investment in technology and skill sets has enabled NDigitec to deliver the highest resolution digital flexo plates with unpreceded levels of quality for the region. It can make flexo plates up to 50 x 80 inches to suit wide format flexible packaging and corrugated printers, it added.

Bobst is one of the world’s leading suppliers of equipment and services to packaging and label manufacturers in the folding carton, corrugated board and flexible materials industries. With their varied repeat lengths and medium to super-wide printing widths, Bobst CI flexo presses meet the requirements of the most demanding package printing applications.

Tavitian said: “Our company works closely with NDigitec Prepress in the GCC region.”

“Our flexo-printing presses can make the best use of the FullHD Flexo plates that NDigitec produces,” he added.

Shahe Kavlakian, executive manager of NDigitec Prepress, said: “Many of our customers who have Bobst flexo corrugated press or F&K CI Flexo machine users ask for our company’s plates for the best quality output.”

“We produce high standard Full HD Digital Flexo plates with centralised quality control across all our branches. We combine our skills and expertise to add immense value to our customers all over the region. Our deep understanding in the technology of prepress ensures flawless results in the flexo presses,” he added.
