What Our Customers Say...
Our previous batch coding machines weren’t reliable, and we were getting too much wastage. A web search brought us to PrintSafe and the udaFORMAXX carton feeder. PrintSafe were very quick and helpful in supplying a machine that we started by renting and have now purchased. With their engineer, we went through a detailed process of testing our packs on the feeder. We’re really happy with PrintSafe’s service and the speed and efficiency of the machine.
