Spicers to show
full range at PacPrint
Printable materials, consumables and hardware supplier Spicers will use the show to demonstrate
a full range of media and hardware solutions, and launch
several new products.
The company’s stand will be
replete with commercial, digital, wide format, labels, packaging and specialty grades. It will also have live demonstrations daily on its hardware solutions, including its Rollsrollers and Mimaki printers, and it will be doing a vehicle wrap each day with 3M media.
It will showcase its new digital selection, and its latest packaging grades, which are grease resistant, freezer resistant and safe for direct food contact. Two new gourmet food and wine label stocks will also be launched.
The company will be launching its new sustainability packs, with new options for sign and display printing grades. It will have a Green Spotlight in each segment: commercial, digital, sign and display, and labels and packaging.
It will be the first time Spicers has been at a show since its acquisition of Rojo Pacific, with visitors able to see its full range at PacPrint, including the pull-up banner material and the range of self adhesive stock.
The Hannemueller media for fine art photography will be on show,
as will dye sublimation and heat transfer stocks, such as the B Flex range, and the new Kavalan PVC-free media.
Spicers will also be introducing its General Formulations brand, which offers a full range of vinyls for applications such as wall and

has the solution. That applies to commercial printers, label and packaging printers, and sign and display printers. We have sustainable options in all segments, to meet the market demand.” 21
Trimatt 1170 - exceeding expectation for SME
Matt Johnson, CEO at Trimatt, is a firm advocate of the 1170 in its uses for short runs for packaging solutions, and will be showcasing the Trimatt 1170 at PacPrint, stand C30. He says, “This revolutionary digital printer is perfect for SMEs looking to offer greater solutions to their clients for bags, boxes, trays and even handled bags.”
When Hayden from Rush Coffee, a New Zealand coffee supplier, was looking
to refine its operations and transition into in-house digital printing of their coffee bags, he called Matt Johnson from Trimatt.
Rush Coffee was aiming to print directly onto its coffee bags for varied products, at precise quantities, on demand to streamline their processes, eliminate over production and storage costs. The solution needed to be compact and user friendly. Johnson confidently
put forward the 1170 as the “perfect solution” for the company.
Rush Coffee needed a cost-effective solution and wanted a professional finish on paper using waterproof/light fast
ink. Design features of the Trimatt 1170 include a 297 mm wide print swath with speeds up to 27m/min, a HP FI-1000 print engine using an aqueous pigmented ink which makes crisp, vibrant prints that are both waterproof and light fast. Put simply, there was no aspect of the Trimatt 1170 not exceeded in the brief.
The 1170 was the all-rounder solution for Rush Coffee, and was consequently purchased and upgraded to include an integrated friction feeder, adjustable receiving tray and vacuum conveyor to optimise production.
The Trimatt 1170 Digital Printer turned out to be a cost saving solution for Rush Coffee who previously outsourced its bag printing, and now uses the product every day as the business has grown. 21
