Press release from the issuing company
G’imprim chose the PrintSTAR system for 100% web monitoring in order to achieve sustainable and repeatable improvement in inspection performance and thus product quality. Built around high-resolution line cameras, the system offers significant benefits in the inspection of continuous material, in particular, detecting even the tiniest defects missed by solutions that use matrix cameras.
100 % inline inspection in one of France’s largest print shops
G’imprim, a division of the GRANGER Group, runs one of the largest print shops for flexible packaging in France. They chose PrintSTAR, the 100% inspection system from ISRA VISION, to mitigate quality issues in their printing and prevent customer complaints.
With seven 8-to-10-color flexo lines offering a scalable capacity of up to 600 million linear meters per year, G’imprim prints flexible packaging for large customers. Its product range extends from shrink films for the beverage and canning industry, packaging films for pulp producers (kitchen/toilet paper rolls), and films for FFS sacks made from PPE to breathable and standard films for hygiene products.
High-quality packaging provides both a key marketing message and a purchase incentive at the point of sale, often making it crucial to purchasing decisions, especially for first-time customers. The quality - suggested by its appearance and the expectations it raises at the consumer - has a direct impact on how well a product sells. Defects in the printed image on the packaging, such as ink splashes or gaps, are not acceptable and should never make it as far as the retailer. They suggest that the product is of poor quality, damaging the brand perception and ultimately affecting sales. That is why standards for packaging print quality are so high today.
Improved product quality
As the previous inspection solutions no longer met the print shop’s quality requirements, G’imprim has chosen a new system. The company was already very satisfied with ISRA VISION SMASH for unprinted plastic films and nonwovens.
