Chesapeake, U.K., has installed a new Mark Andy press at its Kunshan Jiangsu, China, factory, allowing it to now supply cartons, leaflets, and labels aimed specifically at the pharmaceutical sector as well as positioning it for growth in other markets. The company notes that the Mark Andy Performance Series machine has an innovative print platform that produces consistently high print quality.

Mike Codington, GM at Chesapeake Kunshan, explains that "our team visited Mark Andy's print technology center in Switzerland and witnessed impressive machine setup and changeover times. The operator was able to complete all changeover tasks while maintaining high quality standards. This is the first P7 press in China and this investment further reinforces Chesapeake's position as a leading global supplier of pharmaceutical packaging."

The P7, the most advanced model in the Performance Series, includes a revolutionary print deck design that features fast print set-up and changeovers. It also offers a sophisticated automation package that includes a registration management system for quality control and fast make-readies.
