VARIOMAN is the name given to the newly conceived packaging printing press from manroland web systems. VARIOMAN means that manroland web systems has created a technology platform, which combines the benefits of varied technologies and processes while specifically avoiding the weak points inherent in other technologies and simultaneously providing top customer benefits.
