Go Cre8 has purchased a Zünd cutter to improve efficiency in its finishing processes. The Liverpool based creative printer, which previously did all its finishing by hand, said that the new machine has been a ‘game-changer’ for both quality and production efficiency.
The second-user Zünd PN L-2500 was installed in October 2018 and works in conjunction with Go Cre8’s range of HP Latex and Oce Arizona printers via the Onyx Thrive RIP software.
‘We considered a lot of different finishing machines, looking at flexibility, ease of use for operators and how they would fit within our current workflow,’ explained owner of Go Cre8, Darryn Kennerley. ‘Zünd being the industry standard machine for our application made it the obvious choice.
‘The turnaround time and the final quality of print and cut items has massively improved. About 70% of our production is now finished on the Zünd – from small format labels, to print cut and polished acrylic signs. Now we’ve reduced finishing times for most items, we’re looking at other markets, such as packaging, which we’d previously outsourced.’
