Print & packaging noise at work assessments

Presses, folders, die-cutters and corrugators run a relentless mechanical din. We measure what your print and finishing crews are really exposed to and keep it compliant under a fixed-price 4-Year Care Plan.

A quick look at where the noise comes from on this kind of floor, and how a Care Plan assessment measures it.

Typical daily exposure · print & packaging
84–95 dB(A)
Web presses, folders and die-cutters hold finishing halls in the mid-to-high 80s dB(A) for whole shifts, and guillotines and corrugators add peaks. That's enough for protection zones and health surveillance — a measurement pins down your press hall's figure.

Typical noise sources in print & packaging

Web / sheet-fed press~88 dB(A)
Folder & finishing line~88 dB(A)
Guillotine (impact)~92 dB(A) peaks
Die-cutter~90 dB(A)
Corrugator~90 dB(A)
Palletiser & strapping~86 dB(A)

Typical published/measured figures for the equipment itself — your own exposure depends on time-at-task, layout and controls. Only a measurement confirms your figure.

Common questions

The press hall is loud but steady — is that a duty?

Yes — steady noise in the high 80s across a shift reaches the upper action value, which brings protection zones and health surveillance.

Can you measure without stopping the run?

Yes — we measure the hall in normal production; nothing needs switching off.

Do you cover finishing and warehouse too?

Yes — by area and role, so finishing, cutting and dispatch are each captured.

What does it cost?

From £895 + VAT per year, fixed for four years. The 60-second check gives an instant guide.
