Client Testimonials
“Any defect, any mid-run press stop, can entirely eliminate margin from a job. As QA manager, it is up to me to prevent waste before it happens. That’s why I rely on FLXON and SWED/CUT doctor blades to gain our competitive advantage.”
“As a manager, I am tasked with adding to our bottom line from within our manufacturing process, I knew I needed help from the outside. We connected with FLXON and their PTC services, their depth of experience based knowledge made all the difference in the world. Detailed audits, on-press operator training, and easy to accomplish process improvement recommendations helped us exceed our targets. Process Improvement isn’t a destination – it is an ongoing process that requires expert support from partners like FLXON.”
“We placed your recommended SWED/CUT doctor blades on our white deck and days later we still have ZERO leakage! At first I was skeptical, but now the first to admit that you truly do have the ultimate doctor blade for our high speed flexo press. Still in amazement at the results. We are now averaging 4 days run time with almost no leakage on both colors or whites!”
