Prepac Washcloth Rolls

"Moving to the Prepac system made our blanket wash system more automated, and simplified it.  Balwin Prepac cloth is better, it’s more consistent, and we don’t have so much downtime. For the first year, Oct 2020-2021 Westrock calculated $100,000 in blanket savings with a further $13,000 on blanket wash savings."

Westland LotoTec Rollers

"Equally satisfied with the performance of the LotoTec rollers and the personal service received from bfs, Nigel Hunt said “We insisted on printing Alcohol free on our KBA 105, but to print Alcohol free LED UV the LotoTec dampening has given us stability that was previously not possible."

Finito Self-adhesive

"We have run Finito self-adhesive packing sheets on our SM52 for approximately four years, which has saved us a considerable amount of time due to the longevity of the product. Their durability has meant that we haven’t needed to replace them as frequently despite the variety of work we run on the press and the self-adhesive factor means that it is much easier to change a blanket."
Jamie Stables
Ashley House Printing Co.

WeroAqua Metering Rollers

"I was a little sceptical when I saw this advertised but following a trial period I can confirm that on one 2 colour perfecting press we are now Alcohol free without any efficiency issues, and looking to try our multi colours press in the near future, under the current climate with alcohol prices this will now mean a substantial annual saving on this press, thank you to Graham and his team for their support, a very good investment."
