Get more from your press investment

Can your production keep up with your ambitions?

Expanding product ranges. Higher order volumes. Faster turnaround. More personalised products.

As customer demands evolve, production operations face increasing pressure to deliver greater variety, flexibility and efficiency. Making the most of your available press capacity helps you meet these demands, reduce unit costs and protect profitability.

Increasing product range

A growing product portfolio means more variety in production, often with shorter runs and more frequent job changes.

Higher order volumes

As order volumes increase, your production capacity needs to keep pace without compromising efficiency or delivery performance.

Faster turnaround

Customers expect shorter lead times, putting greater pressure on production schedules and the availability of your printing presses.

Personalised production

A constantly changing mix of customised jobs places high demands on production planning and operational efficiency.

Meeting growing demand doesn't necessarily require another printing press, additional shifts or costly overtime and weekend work. Sometimes, the greatest opportunity lies in making better use of the capacity you already have.

Manual reel changes interrupt production, reduce available press time and generate waste. Even the most productive printing press cannot deliver its full potential when the surrounding equipment repeatedly brings the line to a stop.

Contiweb non-stop unwinding and rewinding eliminate downtime caused by manual reel changes, helping you make better use of your existing press capacity.

The potential impact shown above is based on a roll-to-roll inkjet scenario operating 16 hours per day, 300 days per year, with 15-minute manual reel changes at both the unwinder and rewinder. Under these assumptions, non-stop auto-splicing could increase annual output by approximately 30%, representing around 46 million additional A4-equivalent units of printed output per year. This additional capacity creates room to fulfil more orders without the immediate need to invest in another press, extend operating hours or add production shifts.

Less production time

When increasing output is not the priority, non-stop auto-splicing can enable the same production volume to be completed in significantly less time.

Lower labour costs

Fewer required production hours can help reduce labour costs and avoid expensive overtime or weekend shifts where applicable.

Less paper waste

Continuous production reduces the paper waste associated with stopping, restarting and manually changing reels.

Lower costs per unit

Savings in production time, labour and paper can reduce unit costs, improve profit margins or strengthen price competitiveness.

At its facility in Dresden, Germany, SAXOPRINT operates two high-performance press lines: a Canon ProStream web inkjet line and a Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 106 sheetfed offset line with a CutStar reel sheeter. Both deliver exceptional productivity.

Contiweb’s non-stop auto-splicers make an important contribution to this performance by keeping production running through reel changes.
