Ouest-France, the largest regional newspaper publisher in France, has purchased two new packaging lines from Buhrs in Zaandam. These Buhrs 3000 systems are used for packaging newspapers in paper wraps.

“With this investment, Ouest-France is the first newspaper company to package its products in paper and not foil for shipping," says Buhrs managing director Dick Verheij. "This complies with French legislation that has banned the use of foil, other than bio foil. Ouest-France is one of the first companies in France to follow this new environmental measure and thus send a signal to other shippers."

The new packaging systems have been fully produced in the Buhrs factory in Zaandam and are supplied and installed by BC2S, Buhrs' French agent. In addition to packaging newspapers, the Buhrs 3000 systems also offer the option of including printed matter. The packaging capacity is 15,000 newspapers per hour. The system is also easy to set up for packaging other print productions.
