Hinojosa Packaging Group installs a cutting-edge offset printing technology at its plant in Valladolid, Spain. It is an eight-color printer with a double varnish tower, capable of applying acrylic and ultraviolet finishes.

Its inline quality control system prevents any deviation and ensures homogeneous printing throughout the entire run, allowing comparison between the customer’s original design and the final production.

This investment also supports Hinojosa’s sustainability strategy. It reduces production waste and uses circular life cycle inks, significantly minimising waste generation. Furthermore, the printer is designed for heptachrome printing, enabling faster job changeovers.

One of the sectors that will benefit most from this offset technology is the food industry, particularly frozen seafood packaging. The Valladolid plant has extensive experience in this area, and the new printer will enable the development of solutions that meet the stringent technical requirements of this type of packaging, including moisture and freeze resistance.

Hinojosa Packaging Group is a leading company in the design and manufacture of sustainable packaging solutions.
