PT Charoen Pokphand Indonesia (CPI) Flexible Packaging has experienced annual growth of 10% since its establishment in 2019, propelled by a strategic collaboration with BOBST.
The partnership, marked by the incorporation of BOBST's cutting-edge technologies, has positioned CPI as a key player in the flexible packaging sector.
Located in Cikande, Serang, CPI Flexible Packaging initially catered to the packaging needs of its parent company, food manufacturer Charoen Pokphand Indonesia Group.
The company's shift towards in-house production involved the adoption of BOBST's one complete solution, featuring the BOBST CI flexo press with oneECG technology.
Breaking away from the gravure tradition that dominates the market, CPI's general manager, Junny Kumala, emphasised that the flexo solution has proven to be both cost-effective and sustainable.
“The various automation features on the BOBST flexo press aid our operators, speed up production, and increase productivity. Importantly, they also greatly reduce the resources needed for setup, so we save a lot of ink, materials, and energy,” Kumala said.
CPI leverages BOBST's smartGPS precision plate mounting system to enhance efficiency. This innovation eliminates operator interaction on the press, streamlining the plate mounting stage and reducing the need for setup resources.
As the demand for sustainable solutions rises, CPI addresses the challenge with BOBST's oneECG technology. This innovation optimises colour matching, making it consistent and repeatable. By digitising the colour-matching process, CPI experiences fewer colour variations, faster makereadies, and higher productivity.
CPI's in-house prepress facility, coupled with oneECG, has streamlined digital job-proofing processes, saving valuable time. The technology allows for the consistent printing of colours with fixed ink sets, eliminating the need for expensive spot colours and time-consuming changeovers.
The companies said through investing in BOBST's Maintenance Plus programme, CPI minimises unplanned downtime, fostering regular maintenance habits and ensuring the flexo press is always in optimal condition.
This strategic approach guarantees seamless production and swift turnaround times for customer demands.
