The company had already used the Heidelberg ICS in 2012.
The multi-process inline technology can produce different structures and is expected to help the company expand its production capacity.
Al Mawrid Printing & Advertising production manager Justin Ninan said: “The excellent flexo printing and value-adding quality of products that were printed on our first ICS excite our customers.
“What we internally especially appreciate about the flexo printing press is the easy operation, the low maintenance, the combination of various printing and converting methods within one machine and the enormous output combined with reliability and high uptime.
