Through its recent partnership with the Opal ANZ Group, a global leader and innovator across the fibre-based packaging segment, Kissel+Wolf Australia is demonstrating how it is delivering world-class digital packaging solutions for the corrugated and carton board market.
Opal has always been at the forefront of investing in the key areas of time to market, on demand print and quality of service and product. Their ability to deliver quality print, at speed, and furnish fully completed campaigns from multiple cities and locations is second to none.
Their reputation and focus on customer satisfaction is even further advanced by partnering with world-leading technology providers Kissel+Wolf to bring a dynamic portfolio of equipment and expertise to customers looking to modernise and innovate their packaging production.
The installation of multiple digital print systems bringing design, print, cutting, gluing with full automation as a one-stop, end-to-end process enables flexibility, productivity and real advantages for both customers and sales resources.
When sourcing partners is not just about the quality of the product, it is also around the value and investment strategy. Return on investment, the total cost of ownership and ‘the right fit’ for expansion and growth are equally as important. Sustainability, environment and general market awareness around trends and brand direction also need to be considered.
