The company says it is a strategic investment, to enable it to transition from its traditional focus on folding cartons to include high-quality digital label printing. The new Screen L350UV SAI S press is expected to play a crucial role in this expansion, allowing Networkpak to fulfil the increasing demand for premium labels and packaging solutions.

Networkpak is a well-established name in the Australian printing industry known for its high-quality printed folding cartons for leading brands.

Paul O'Sullivan, director of Networkpak, commented on this new chapter in the company's evolution, he said, "As a company with deep roots in printed folded cartons, we have earned the trust of leading Australian brands by consistently delivering top-tier products. The addition of the Screen L350UV SAI S to our line-up is a natural progression for us, enabling us to offer an even wider array of solutions to our clients. We can now meet their label and packaging needs with the same level of quality and reliability they've come to expect from our carton work."

According to Jet Technologies, the Screen L350UV SAI S is known for its colour reproduction, precision, and speed, is particularly well-suited to the demands of label printing. Jet says it offers Networkpak the flexibility to produce a wide variety of labels, from simple designs to complex, high-impact graphics, catering to the diverse needs of its clientele across various industries.

Jet Technologies Australia, a key partner in this project, has been instrumental in facilitating the installation and ensuring that Networkpak is fully equipped to leverage the capabilities of the new press.

"Since installation, we have been very impressed with the L350UV SAI S – it has done absolutely everything that we expected and has not skipped a beat. Jet Technologies have been outstanding with their service and support, ensuring that we have made a seamless transition into labels." O'Sullivan added.

David Reece, sales director for Jet Technologies said, "We are delighted to be working with Networkpak. Whilst It may be new in the label space, the team has significant experience in the market, and its choice of the L350UV SAI S is a strong endorsement in the brand and our support."

As Networkpak continues to grow, the integration of the Screen L350UV SAI S is expected to significantly boost the company's production capabilities, reduce lead times, and open up new opportunities for creative packaging solutions.

Jet Technologies will be demonstrating the Screen L350UV SAI S at its Sydney HQ on Friday 11 October. Click here to register.
