MA Print Products (MAPP) announces that it 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 products from industry-leading names.

This is exampled by the recent partnership with diecutting 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 breadth and depth of the Performance Line is exampled by branded plate mounting and cleaning systems, anilox rollers, flexo plate and anilox sleeves, doctor 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.

Andy Clarke, European operations director for MA Print Products, says, “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.

“Our saying ‘Order today, print tomorrow!’ is more than a slogan. It is the ethos that we live by to help printers produce high-quality work efficiently and consistently.

“MAPP is here to help printers find their way to flexo print perfection,” says Clarke, adding, “We know these challenges are not specific to one area of the print industry but are universal. Every printer must be minimizing downtime and maximizing 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.”
