Indiana Carton invests in Heidelberg 1650 Wide-Web Flexo Press
To support ambitious growth plans, Indiana Carton Co. (ICC), Bremen, Ind., USA, reports that it has ordered and will soon get delivery of a new, 7-color 65 in.-wide Heidelberg (Germany) Intro flexo press for large-format folding carton production.
The press is equipped with the latest technology and includes an in-line sheeter and an automatic washing system for all print units. Within the scope of supply are carbon fiber chambers, offering excellent stiffness and rigidity (300% better than aluminum). Carbon fiber chambers with its low weight allow for quicker cleaning and maintenance and therefore a safer working environment.
Heidelberg Web Carton Converting GmbH (HWCC) will support ICC during the startup and production period with intensive operator training, to make sure that Indiana Carton can reach full capacity very quickly.
"We looked at every press on the market, and in the end chose a Heidelberg flexo machine based on their outstanding track record, testimonials from their customers, and the perfect print quality we saw delivered on other Heidelberg presses. The Heidelberg team bent over backward to meet our technical needs, making the decision an easy one," said Ken Petty, president and CEO of Indiana Carton.
HWCC is represented in the U.S. and Canada by Heidelberg Web Carton Converting USA, Philadelphia, Pa.
