SOSTENIBILITÀ MADE IN BOXMARCHE

Con le lastre Kodak Sonora, ottenere ottimi risultati con le configurazioni, le sequenze, gli inchiostri, le soluzioni di bagnatura e i caucciù già disponibili per la macchina da stampa, è praticamente una certezza, perché tutti gli elementi si combinano perfettamente nell’ambito della normale fase di avviamento della macchina da stampa, senza più dover fare i conti con le variabili dello sviluppo. Inutile negare che qualche perplessità c’era in Boxmarche, ma “a fronte dei test effettuati ci siamo resi conto che il fatto che la il layout di produzione, dato che usando le lastre senza

Boxmarche ha seguito l’evoluzione della tecnologia Kodak senza sviluppo dalle lastre Sonora X fino alle Sonora XTRA, che hanno messo alla prova in tutti i modi possibili e il risultato in stampa è stato eccellente. Le Sonora XTRA assicurano un contrasto immagine tre volte maggiore rispetto alle Sonora X, tanto che sulla lastra si vedono i dettagli più piccoli; sono inoltre molto robuste grazie alla

ince 1969, the year of its foundation, a real value system has been created, showing great sensitivity to the issues of business ethics and environmental responsibility. Training, continuous innovation, staff involvement and sustainability are the primary values of Boxmarche. In 2020, the turnover was 12.6 million euros: if we consi-

der that the employees are 67, it turns out that the turnover per capita is truly remarkable, and in 2021 it will grow by more than 10%. Boxmarche is characterized by its high level of service and the speed of deliveries, which make it almost a paper converting company that produces box-on-demand: the average print run of the company for
an order is 4,800 sheets, so the company prints many different orders with very frequent job changes. In such a production context, which involves the production of 900-1,000 plates per month, it is important to have a reliable and easy to manage CtP. Boxmarche uses Kodak Sonora XTRA Process Free Plates across its whole production and in March 2020 added a Kodak Magnus VLF Multi Cassette. The company thinks and manufactures really out of the box and takes care of the environment. Its operations are utmost safe and environment-compliant, always backed by relevant certification bodies, that are very important also to work with brands and customers that more and more request green credentials. Boxmarche has obtained the certification of the Integrated Management System - Quality, Environment, Safety, according to ISO 9001: 2008, ISO 14001: 2004, EMAS CE 1221/09, OHSAS 18001: 2007, ISO22000: 2005 registration and is also certified PEFC ITA 1002: 2010 and FSC STD-40-004 V.2.1.
A CHOICE THAT GUARANTEES PRINT QUALITY AND ADDED VALUE Until 2011, Boxmarche relied on an external provider for making plates. When this company could no longer grant this service, an internal prepress department was created, according to a plan the company already had in mind. “At that time, we chose a Kodak Trendsetter Multi Cassette and we used Kodak Electra XD plates and then Kodak Trillian Plates, which obviously required development. But when Kodak suggested we use Kodak Sonora Process Free Plates we quickly realized this was the way to go and decided to invest in a new CtP. In March 2020, a Kodak Magnus VLF Multi Cassette got installed and since then we had to change the production layout because there was no longer any need for the plate processing equipment. Our own pre-press corner got set up in our press room, managed today by two people trained in the company; with the Kodak Magnus VLF Multi Cassette it is possible to load plates faster, handle them simply and
