In the fast-paced world of flexible packaging, speed, quality, and sustainability are more critical than ever. That’s why GoldenPack Industries, a leading packaging manufacturer in Southeast Asia, turned to NOVO UV Retrofit System to upgrade their aging UV curing equipment—without replacing the entire press.

Challenge: Slowing Output and Mounting Downtime

GoldenPack had long relied on legacy UV systems in their flexographic printing lines. However, over the years, they began facing increasing issues: unstable curing performance, frequent maintenance, high power consumption, and inconsistent print quality. These inefficiencies were not only impacting productivity but also increasing operational costs.

“We were at a crossroads,” said Mr. Tan, Plant Director of GoldenPack. “Replacing the entire UV press system would be extremely costly. We needed a smart, efficient alternative.”

Solution: NOVO UV Retrofit with LED Upgrade

After a detailed technical assessment, our team proposed the NOVO UV Retrofit Solution—a cost-effective system that replaces only the critical UV modules while retaining the original press structure. GoldenPack also opted for a high-efficiency LED UV module, providing lower heat emissions, longer service life, and reduced energy costs.

Installation was completed in just three days, with no interruption to ongoing production.

Results: Efficiency Up, Costs Down

Since the retrofit, GoldenPack has seen a measurable improvement in production efficiency and product consistency:

• 30% faster curing speed, leading to higher press throughput

• 40% reduction in energy consumption compared to mercury UV

• Zero unscheduled downtime related to the UV system since installation

• Improved substrate compatibility with thinner films and heat-sensitive materials

“We now run longer jobs without fear of system failure or print defects. The ROI was faster than we expected—under six months,” Mr. Tan noted.

A Step Toward Greener Packaging

The LED UV upgrade has also helped GoldenPack align with their sustainability goals by reducing emissions and eliminating ozone production.
