Based in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Moyy offers custom solutions for the North American packaging and print space in a variety of verticals, ranging from medical to retail to agriculture, as well as ecommerce. The corrugated design studio and print house is dedicated to the fine art of ecommerce and retail packaging, displays and brand experiences. The company was seeking the best solution for printing directly onto corrugated board to offer the most up-to-date and efficient solutions to its customers. With a team of designers, innovators, and print and colour experts, Moyy wanted a solution that would truly enhance their end to-end offerings and expand the application possibilities of corrugated print.
Why They Chose EFI Nozomi
According to Hendrik Tamminga, Moyy’s President, the company selected the EFI™ Nozomi C18000 single-pass printer to meet these needs. He explains, “We chose the Nozomi because of the intense colour and gloss levels that our customers were looking for.”
The printer’s highly accurate imaging capabilities help ensure colour consistency for the many brands Moyy serves, as the team can achieve specific Pantones and adhere to brands’ specific colour palettes. The EFI Nozomi C18000 printer also features an automated camera-based inspection system that allows for rapid identification and correction of inkjet nozzle issues or other image quality defects.
The 1.8-meter-wide single-pass press – a winner of multiple print technology and quality awards – prints directly onto boards at high speeds and is designed to deliver superior quality and productivity. EFI Nozomi digital technology eliminates the need for printing plates, delivering cost savings as well as reducing waste, and minimum order quantities (MOQs), making it more accessible and faster than traditional analogue litho production methods.
Endless Advantages
Moyy prints only what each customer needs, at a competitive price, eliminating inventory waste that can occur when MOQs are in place. The Nozomi press significantly improves their time to market, critical to their customers and in today’s competitive marketplace. “It’s not only a cost discussion, but also speed-to-market,” says Moyy COO Marc Gosselin. “We can immediately send a file to our EFI Nozomi and start printing rather than waiting for a new die or even changes in dies.”
Moyy can also offer variable data printing, allowing for more personalization and customization – for example, printing the name of an individual recipient on every box. The EFI Nozomi C18000 press also enables Moyy to produce versioned designs for regional brand activations, seasonal campaigns, sales events for different stores, and more.
“[The] EFI Nozomi allows us to really respond to current market trends for our customers,” says Gosselin. “Also, to create alternative designs for something like regional campaigns or activations. So, it gives some great flexibility for our customers and the ability to enable them to be successful.”
Tamminga adds, “There’s also significant value in the sheet size we can print. The 71-inch print width allows us to print club packs and displays. And the gloss level has really competed with the litho space. We’re able to change over a lot of our litho customers.”
The Nozomi also uses less water than flexo or litho, Gosselin explains, and less energy. And there’s less overall waste, “So from an environmental perspective, it helps us help our customers to reach their sustainability goals,” he says.
The EFI Nozomi C18000 press’ robust and reliable industrial platform with end-to-end workflow automation has offered Moyy stunning image quality, productivity, and uptime, but the benefits extend beyond the technology, Tamminga says.
“EFI has been a great partner. They offered everything we needed: service level, printability, reliability, training – they were there for us every step of the way. Even post installation, whether by phone or on site. If we have an issue, they are literally here within 24 hours. It’s a great support team, and a great partnership with EFI and the Nozomi team. We are really happy to have them on our side.”
