Somersworth, NH. – Sumner Printing recently opened a new facility dedicated to folded napkin production. The 20,000 square foot facility features installation of Sumners second OMET TV-503 napkin folder.

Following their successful entry into the ¼ folded dinner napkin market in 2007 with their first OMET TV-503 napkin folder installation, Sumner Printing decided to expand their capacity and product offering by installing a New OMET TV-503 napkin folder in addition to their existing machine in their new dedicated tissue production facility.

According to Michael Davis (Owner of Sumner Printing), "The first OMET TV-503 napkin folder has been very productive and allowed us to get in to production quickly with excellent results."
Sumner's new OMET TV-503 includes 2 flexo print stations and the ability to produce 1/8 folded dinner napkins as well as ¼ folded luncheon and dinner napkins. Michael added, "The OMET machines changeover easily and quickly including the new quick change print stations, folding heads and folding plates. The exceptional efficiency, flexibility and durability of the OMET machines are the reasons we chose OMET to begin with and have stayed with them. OMET's support has been great from start to finish. OMET has been a true partner to us." stated Michael.

To enhance production efficiencies Sumner connected both OMET folders to one Multipack wrapper to enable only two people to run both napkin folders, the wrapper and case pack the wrapped napkin packs.

Since 1990 Sumner Printing has been  providing printed placemats to the restaurant industry. By adding napkin production Sumner now  provides their customers a one stop source for their restaurant place setting requirements.
