Shorter lead times for folio size wrappers

Shorter lead times than ever before, that is the result of Walki Group’s investment in an additional printing machine for folio size ream wrappers, serving the graphic industry.

With the new printing line at its plant in Jatne, Poland, Walki will offer delivery times of no more than 7 –10 days. With this investment Walki further develops its leading position in paper packaging and also strengthens its position as a provider of services and solutions. The investment is a prompt answer to customer service requirements.
“Short delivery time is a crucial point for our customers along with keeping down costs of maintaining stocks. By offering lead times as short as seven days we are able to deliver just-in-time, which is extremely unusual in our business. Two weeks has so far been considered fast”, says Vice President Sales & Marketing Arno Wolff from Paper Packaging at Walki.

Equally strong print results
Walki’s substantial printing capacity in combination with a centralised prepress function enables an allocation of production that guarantees fast delivery without jeopardising product performance. “The good print quality and the high product features are always the same, no matter which of our printing units does the job”, says Arno Wolff.
Production with the new machine, which performs six-colour printing, will be commenced no later than in December 2009. Walki Group, the leading producer of protective packaging materials and technical laminates, currently produces ream wrappings in four plants globally.
