Recently , the company installed a semi-automatic corrugation plant which includes 2-ply steam-based corrugation , a 5-ply laminator , a printer slotter , and side pasting for producing corrugated boxes . In the 2021-22 financial year , Art-O-Print also invested in a Bobst Novacut 106 die-cutter and an Expertfold foldergluer . With the installation of these two Bobst machines , the company now has two Bobst die cutters and two Bobst folder gluers for enhanced reliability of its converting and overall monocarton production workflow .

After the new investments in the corrugation division and significantly enhancing the capabilities of its converting department , Art-O-Print is looking to increase the printing capabilities of its label section . The company may also add equipment to its post-press section . “ Over the next year or so , we may go for one more flexo printing press for labels and post-press machines ,” Patel concludes . n
