LOMBARDI’s unrivaled range of applications

Matik will also promote industry-leading label-, flexible-packaging digital-finishing solutions from LOMBARDI Converting of Italy. LOMBARDI’s DIGISTAR line of digital-finishing solutions offers a wide range of solutions in web widths from 13 to 30 inches for label- and film applications. Improve your quality using LOMBARDI’s unrivaled registration/re-register system. Add value using LOMBARDI’s platen, rotary or digital hot-foil and screen printing or cold-foil embellishment systems, laminations (UV, HA, EB and solvent) or high-speed, semi-rotary die cutting systems.

Despite the pandemic, many printers have experienced growth by offering e-commerce, short-run and value-added solutions.

“Many of our customers use fairly low volumes of very high-value materials. So, reducing waste and scrap becomes part of the formula for their success. This equipment allows us to minimize waste and the time frame to go from a raw roll of material to a happy customer,” says Kirk Icuss, president of Enterprise Print Group. “Labelmaster provides laser and digital advantages, and a reduction in setup waste of 70 to 75 percent versus conventional finishing, and at least that much in time saving.

“LOMBARDI machines are simple and elegant engineering marvels. While most competitive equipment uses expensive vision control systems that add unnecessary cost and increase preventive maintenance, LOMBARDI accomplishes the same objective with their extraordinary proprietary software.”

“The secret of our success is our expanded geographic footprint. We are close to our customers. We work like a ‘mom and pop’ shop but with the benefits of scale,” says Ken Pizzuco, chief supply chain officer for Fortis Solutions Group. “We’re very nimble and customer centric, and our suppliers need to be nimble, too. I enjoyed working directly with decision makers at LOMBARDI and Matik. They are technically knowledgeable and responsive. Receiving answers quickly cut months off the design and purchasing process.”

It is essential to find the right solution to meet your production requirements and grow your company. Matik is able to create the perfect solution for the widest range of customer applications by offering the laser expertise from SEI and the quality, modular engineering of LOMBARDI Converting Machinery.
