Trade In Trade Up Scheme gets under way
from PFS (Print Finishing Solutions)
In tandem with the launch of the new Kala Mistral
wide-format laminator from UK distributor and
specialists PFS, they have also revealed the latest in
their sales and marketing activities, the Trade-In,
Trade-Up scheme, which according to the company is the
first ever programme for wide-format laminators in the UK.
The scheme will enable resellers and end-users alike to
obtain better deals on the latest technology by trading in their
old lamination equipment. It takes away the hassle
and expense of disposing of old machines especially in
companies where space is tight.
This scheme is initially running alongside the promotion
of the latest Kala laminator. The Kala Mistral is a cold
lamination system with a single heated roller and available in
1.65m and 2.1 m widths. It is able to cope with high
volumes of different kinds of finishing jobs each day whilst
also being easy to operate.
“As a leading wide format laminator distributor,
expectations on our products and services are always
high and we are constantly striving to exceed these.
By offering value-added programs such as this to our
channel, we’re hopefully doing just that,” says Mark Dale,
Director for PFS.
