Modular scalability seals deal for Zünd

St Albans-based sign-maker and wide-format print specialist, Logoshack, has revealed that a key capital investment has removed bottlenecks from its production line and helped to future proof the company’s expansion plans.

The company has purchased a Zünd S3 L-1200 flatbed cutter, with its director Phill Davies marking out several key factors in making the investment decision after a visit to his company by Zünd UK’s product manager, Nick Reed

Davis comments: “He identified our needs and made sure our machine was tailor-made with the necessary modular tools.

“This piece of equipment has given us the ability to diversify into different markets—namely POS—and sped up our production processes.

“We're now doing split shifts as it can work longer hours.”

Used to kiss-cut digitally and screen-printed signage at Logoshack, the S3 can cut materials up to 255mm (1") thick, and is designed for materials such as aluminium, rigid substrates such as foamboard, and vinyl. 

Davies says the company has now moved from traditional hand trimming and sub-contracting finishing to full in-house production.
