Beatus Cartons

Family owned and run Beatus Cartons is a design and manufacture company that produces creative and versatile cartons for a range of products.

In October 2015, to facilitate the impending launch of the Innovation Centre, Clive and his team purchased the Roland DG VersaUV LEC-540 UV inkjet printer/cutter from Roland DG Authorised Dealers - Revolution Digital. Printing in CMYK plus white and gloss, the LEC-540 had the ability to print colour-accurate packaging prototypes that were virtually indistinguishable from the finished product.

"The LEC-540 gave us the ability to instantly respond to a customer’s need with its integrated print, crease and cut functionality, meaning we could deliver the end-to-end prototype without time-consuming manual intervention."

Beams International

Beams International specialises in the design and manufacture of gift packs, and packaging of goods for promotions in the food and drinks’ industry.

Realising that its existing wide-format proofing system was limited because its aqueous-based inks were not able to output to the actual materials used in a final production run, Beams wanted a solution which would provide a true simulation of its packaging creations. Working with UK specialist Roland DG’s partner, Revolution, the company opted for the print-and-cut versatility of the VersaUV LEC-540.

“From the moment that we ordered the new printer we had a demand for its unique capabilities and since its installation and commissioning we have been able to produce prototype packaging that is as good as the real thing.”

Stuff 4

After discovering the infinite possibilities that the printing market offered, Stuff4 sought to grow their product range and expand into diversified markets.

In line with the development of their business model, Stuff4 wanted a suitable machine to produce their case designs, and after trialling and testing with a number of different manufacturers products, Stuff4 was particularly impressed with Roland DG’s unique offering of high quality products with solid reliability.

Having purchased a Roland DG VersaUV LEF-20 desktop printer from Revolution Digital to increase their product capabilities and customer offering, they found that the printer was an extremely cost effective means of expanding their product range, as the profit derived from the LEF-20 had recuperated the cost of the machine within the first few weeks. The ingenious printer was the perfect solution for expanding the business into this competitive market.
