Case Study: Reynders achieves significant operational efficiency gains with Esko CDI Crystal, XPS Crystal and Automatic PlateHandler

Reynders Achieves Significant Operational Efficiency Gains with CDI Crystal, XPS Crystal and Automatic PlateHandler

Reynders, a label printing company, faced an inefficient manual platemaking process that required operators to move plates multiple times between machines, hindering prepress operational efficiency. The outdated system at their Boechout site also produced inconsistent plate quality due to an old lamp exposure system. To address this challenge, they turned to Esko for a solution.

Esko implemented an integrated suite of hardware including a CDI Crystal imager, XPS Crystal exposure device, and an Automatic PlateHandler. This solution automated the platemaking process, eliminating manual handling and significantly boosting plate consistency. The implementation freed up 50% of operator time, allowing staff to focus on value-adding tasks, and enabled the site to operate with just one person per shift, resulting in major gains in cost-effectiveness and efficiency for Reynders.
