MAPP offers single-source solutions providing benefits printers

MA Print Products (MAPP) continues to break new ground in the UK, Europe, and around the world with its private-brand Performance Line of parts and consumables, in addition to a complementary suite of solutions from industry-leading names.

This is exampled by the recent partnership with die-cutting specialist Wink for the supply of flexibles dies under the Performance Line umbrella, and MAPP’s established position as the world’s largest distributor of tesa plate mounting tapes.

Since the private-brand Performance Line was formally introduced last year, it has been extended to serve even more of the market. The true breadth and depth of the Performance Line is exampled by branded plate mounting and cleaning systems, anilox rollers, flexo plate and anilox sleeves, Dr Blades, genuine and aftermarket UV bulbs, and handling and storage solutions. These provide printers and converters with a reliable source of ancillaries that keep their equipment working and jobs moving through their factories and out of the door.

The number of printers relying on MAPP to serve them with equipment, parts, and consumables continues to grow also. Label and packaging printers are benefiting from working with a single-source supplier to serve different parts of their production with the solutions they require.

From a strategically located facility in the Cheshire, UK, express service is provided to the UK and continental Europe, making it possible for printers to maintain a high level of operational efficiency, regardless of their needs and their location. “Access to a reliable and reputable source of equipment, parts, and consumables is critically important to printers. They rely on these products to keep their equipment operational and producing high-quality work, all day every day. We are uniquely positioned to be able to provide, from stock, an extensive selection of products that printers most often face challenges with or need to replenish. Specialised services such as in-house slitting of plate mounting tapes and the bespoke specification of flexible dies further reinforce the value we bring to the print industry. MAPP is here to help printers find their way to flexo print perfection,” said Andy Clarke, European Operations Director for MA Print Products.

MAPP is a global provider of equipment, parts, and consumables for all label and packaging printers, regardless of format and their equipment fleet. The European business complements the MAPP hub serving North America. Having established a strong market position over the course of the previous decade, the business is actively targeting more of the print and packaging industry where there is high demand for high-quality solutions, available promptly, and at a competitive price.

Andy added: “We know these challenges are not specific to one area of the print industry but are universal. Every printer must be minimising downtime and maximising machine availability to keep customers happy and coming back with more work. MAPP is able to support all of the industry in achieving that goal, whether you’re printing labels, pouches, boxes, or cartons.”
