This week just keeps getting tougher, to paraphrase MasterChef. Strictly speaking, it's not actually tougher, just busier. As if a day out visiting suppliers and checking out a new machine yesterday wasn't enough, I got back to plenty of orders, that as ever, seem to be urgent!
Bit of a long journey, heading from Crawley, to Corby, then to Colchester. I must have racked up about 350/400 miles, but got back by 3pm and was straight back into the office for some production and quoting.
But, the good news is that Tuesday wasn't wasted, as our new hot foil blocking and embossing machine is arriving on Saturday. This will significantly expand our capability, and means that we don't have to subcontract out a lot of work. Also arriving soon will be a sheet-to-sheet gluer/laminator and pressure roller. This is only a small version of the industrial specification one I'll be getting around the beginning of 2010. I can now offer customers requiring presentation packaging a fully in-house service.
When this is teamed with our Zund digital diecutter, we will have possibly the most flexible - and cost effective - method of short run production for high quality presentation packaging in the UK. You will be able to specify a box and artwork to your own requirements, and we can produce 1 or 1,000 units without the need for expensive diecut tooling.
Please email on jonathan@bectechpackaging.com if you need any more information about the products and services we can offer you.
Meanwhile, holiday is booked for 22 June for a week, but we have no idea where we will be going. I hope that I won't miss either of the first or second Lions tests on 20 and 27 June due to holiday. Leaving early tonight to catch the game between the Lions and Lions - yes, really - it looks like we have a strong team. I did also think that on Saturday, and we very nearly got turned over.
