Jamie Boland with the TCS supplied DigiFav-B2 Pro Laminator
As part of a £150,000 company-wide investment programme, Central Foiling has invested in a DigiFav-B2 Pro Laminator from Terry Cooper Services.
The Birmingham operation, founded by Jamie Boland in 2003, specialises in foil blocking, die-cutting and duplexing, as well as offering bespoke solutions to the print and design industry.
After reviewing operations Mr Boland decided to add a mezzanine floor to increase floor space and house the new laminator. He explained, ‘We manage a lot of multi-process jobs meaning work can be on the shopfloor for days, even weeks. Adding the mezzanine floor enables us to spread some of the processes out and open up more floor space. It also streamlines the workflow and makes planning a lot easier.
‘At the same time we wanted to add lamination to the processes we can complete inhouse. Before were we sending much of the work out and that involves additional time and cost.’
Mr Boland continued, ‘We liked the DigiFav-B2 Pro because it was a substantially built system with a compact footprint. It has been very positive so far, we recently put a 1000 run job on it which was then foiled. This took five hours whereas previously it would have taken at least three days. We can now offer our existing customers a wider range of service choices. We are also going to look at what else it can do to expand what we offer.’
