In collaboration with Jet Technologies, Networkpak has installed the latest model in the successful L350 inkjet series - the Screen L350UV SAI S narrow-web digital press, positioning itself to meet a broader range of its clients' label and packaging needs.
This strategic investment is a bold move by the 100% Australian-owned Networkpak, as it transitions from its traditional focus on folding cartons to include high-quality digital label printing. The new Screen L350UV SAI S press is expected to play a crucial role in this expansion, allowing Networkpak to fulfil the increasing demand for premium labels and packaging solutions. 
Paul O'Sullivan, Director of Networkpak, shared his enthusiasm for this new chapter in the company's evolution, saying: "As acompany with deep roots in printed folded cartons, we have earned the trust of leading Australian brands by consistently delivering top-tier products. The addition of the Screen L350UV SAI S to our lineup is a natural progression for us, enabling us to offer an even wider array of solutions to our clients. We can now meet their label and packaging needs with the same level of quality and reliability they've come to expect from our carton work."
Vibrant colours for striking labels
The Screen L350UV SAI S, known for its vibrant colour reproduction, when extra bright Orange and Blue inks are added to the CMYK+W inkset; its precision registration and speed - even with white ink running and is particularly well-suited to the market demands of label printing. Networkpak's 6-colour version offers the flexibility to produce a wide variety of vibrant labels, high-impact graphics, catering to the diverse needs of its clientele across various industries.
Jet Technologies, a key partner with Kyoto, Japan headquartered manufacturer Screen in this project, has been instrumental in facilitating the installation and ensuring that Networkpak is fully equipped to leverage the capabilities of the new press.
"Since installation, we have been very impressed with the L350UV SAI S – it has done absolutely everything that we expected and has not skipped a beat. Jet Technologies has been outstanding with their service and support, ensuring that we have made a seamless transition into labels." O'Sullivan adds.
David Reece, Sales Director for Jet Technologies says: "We are delighted to be working with Networkpak. Whilst they may be new in the label space, their team has significant experience in the market and their choice of the Screen L350UV SAI S is a strong endorsement in the brand and our support."
As Networkpak continues to grow, the integration of the Screen L350UV SAI S is expected to significantly boost the company's production capabilities, reduce lead times, and open up new opportunities for creative packaging solutions. This move ensures that Networkpak remains a leader in the packaging and branding industry, offering comprehensive services that cater to the evolving needs of its customers.
