Press Release

 

Blackman & White to launch exciting new features and limitless packaging and display options on its Versa-Tech cutter

Sign and Digital UK, NEC Birmingham, Hall 18, Stand G10, 28-30 March 2017

20 February 2017

Blackman & White, the leading UK manufacturer of large format flatbed cutters for the sign and display industry, will be demonstrating limitless options for packaging and display using its Versa-Tech laser/router/knife cutter together with its own workflow software - Tiger Pack™ at Sign & Digital UK.

They will also showcase a number of new technical developments on the cutter including:

  • NEW electric high oscillating speed knife unit

  • NEW and improved changeover from knife to laser makes it much easier to swap textile mediums for increased flexibility of use.

  • NEW 60mm (large diameter) creasing wheel, enabling users to crease all media board types, including corrugated material, for increased diversification of bespoke packaging and designs.

 

The team will also demonstrate the latest version of B&W's state of the art camera technology with advanced distortion control to produce a high speed, accurate solution for sign and print cutting using registration marks.

 

MD Alex White said: "We've chosen S&D UK to demonstrate our new developments in cardboard cutting and creasing as this is a key way that sign and display companies can differentiate themselves and their services.

 

"Our team designed the Tiger Pack module of our workflow software to work with Adobe Illustrator files, meaning there's now no limit to the bespoke boxes, POS and packaging that can be designed and manufactured.

"With an increasing use of textiles and other non-traditional media in POS and display, our customers also benefit from the most versatile cutters on the market and the opportunity to invest in new cutting modules as and when they need them rather than paying for all the options up front.

"The ability to create packaging and boxes that match completely with other branded materials such as POS using a single machine also guarantees consistency of quality and output across a range of products.

"I'm very much looking forward to showcasing the possibilities at Sign & Digital."
