Simply Cartons targets growth with new Bobst die-cutter

The Nottingham-based carton manufacturer has bought a Bobst Expertcut 106 PER die-cutter. The machine can process up to 9,000 sheets per hour.

Simply Cartons works with brands in the health and beauty, confectionery, beverage, food and gifting markets. The firm has been expanding, buying a new 2,879sqm warehouse at Bleachers Yards.

Paul Elston, director at Simply Cartons, said: "The new die-cutter will allow us to push the boundaries of what is possible for our customers. Our running speeds are expected to increase, whilst maintaining the overall quality of our products.

"We deliver unique and novel solutions to our customers but this can only be achieved if we are operating efficiently with the best equipment available for the job. After looking at several alternatives, we felt the Bobst Expertcut 106 PER offered the best overall package to help us fulfil our wider business ambitions."

Lee Alton, area sales manager, BU Sheet-fed, Bobst UK and Ireland, added: "We have been in discussions with Simply Cartons for some time now to ensure that the machine they chose would address their requirements in every way. We are really pleased to be working with the company and proud to have them as one of our customers."
