Catalogue Refresh
A useful approach to keeping the press range current, with details that matter to converters comparing CI, narrow-web, and stack options.
How Catalogue Refresh updates CI, narrow-web, and stack ranges
Catalogue Refresh keeps the press range pages useful for converters comparing CI, narrow-web, and stack options. It focuses on the machine details that matter in packaging, without padding out the page with generic sales copy.
Begin with the exact press family that needs attention: CI, narrow-web, or stack. For South African converters, power supply, plant space, and operator access around the press can change which details belong at the top of the range page.
Current machine photos are the first thing to gather for a Catalogue Refresh. One wide shot, one infeed view, and one print unit detail usually show whether guarding, dryers, rewind layout, or automation level has changed. If a model has been revised or withdrawn, mark that clearly before any specifications are copied across.
Press details worth updating
A proper refresh leaves each press page with usable facts for comparison. Converters should be able to see print width, repeat range, colour count, drying arrangement, substrate handling, and finishing options without digging through sales language. On CI, narrow-web, and stack pages, the useful difference is often in web control, changeover features, and the materials each press handles well.
Send the update through the contact form with the press range name, current model list, and notes on any machines no longer offered. Add fresh photographs, core specification changes, and any corrections to widths, repeat ranges, or unwind and rewind capacities. Where a page covers more than one press type, separate CI, narrow-web, and stack points so the refresh stays accurate.
- Updated photos of each press range
- Key specs checked against current models
- Withdrawn models marked for removal
Converter checks before publishing
Check every entry against what a packaging converter compares first. Width, repeat, colour stations, sleeve or gear format, drying method, and supported substrates matter more than broad marketing claims. If a press suits film, paper, or light board differently, that distinction should appear on the page in plain terms.
South African operating conditions can affect what information is worth highlighting. Coastal plants may focus on corrosion protection and cleaning access, while inland sites often ask about dust around web guides and electrical cabinets. Where power interruptions influence restart routines, note controls and register recovery features only if they apply to the listed machine.

Catalogue Refresh submission notes
Send the press range to be updated with current machine photos, key specifications, and any models no longer offered. Keep the subject line specific.
Before sending material, confirm that model names, image captions, and specification tables match the current range exactly. Remove superseded press variants, flag optional equipment separately, and keep packaging applications tied to the right machine type. That gives the Catalogue Refresh page enough detail to help converters compare CI, narrow-web, and stack options properly.
