UK corrugated converter TRM Packaging has officially opened its new colour lab, a collaboration with Flint Group which includes complete integrated colour management services as well as "market leading" quality and process reporting software.
The lab is the latest investment at TRM's Burscough site, which include a £3.2 million Gopfert Impression printer and a £1 million upgrade to the company's corrugator.
Print development manager James Jolley states: "The new facility will allow our technicians to produce high specification digital print swatches and conduct assessments of inks, technical mediums and varnishes in house, which will reduce lead times associated with the process. It sits alongside the structural lab and enhances our product testing capabilities to ensure that the packaging we manufacture not only meets but also exceeds our customer requirements."
TRM has worked with Flint Group since 2008 and the investment and installation of the colour lab is part of a new five-year partnership. The lab connects the company directly with Flint's European Colour Centre in Lodz, Poland.
