CLIENT CASE

All4Labels Hamburg Boosts Productivity with Automated Platemaking to deliver a highly efficient and sustainable mount-ready flexo plate for the packaging industry.

CrystalCleanConnect was installed in October 2023 at the German label converter to replace a manual platemaking process. At this time, the focus of the prepress department was on flexibility in production and high output through all our different presses as the manual process often resulted in ‘errors and scheduling problems,’ according to Mirco Wilke, head of prepress, flexo printing, at All4Labels Hamburg.

“This breakthrough innovation is different to other solutions on the market. It is not just an assembly of available platemaking processes delivering inline, but a holistic approach to connecting technologies, up and downstream of the prepress process, using an intelligent automation hub as the backbone and heart of the solution.”

“We have delivered a cleaner, more environmentally balanced operation that simplifies the platemaking process, improves safety and creates higher print quality consistency. The ultimate objective is to improve our customers’overall business performance and profitability.”
